Tianyancha Company Data Scraper

What does tianyancha-basic-info do?

tianyancha-basic-info is a Tianyancha company profile scraper and China business registry data API. Given a company gid, it extracts registered company information from Tianyancha — company name, legal representative, registered capital, unified social credit code, establishment date, registration status, business scope, and more — into structured JSON.

The Actor uses the Tianyancha mobile API without a browser or manual login. Run it in Apify Console or automate company lookup and due-diligence workflows through the Apify API, schedules, webhooks, monitoring, and integrations.

Why use tianyancha-basic-info?

• No browser, no manual login — the encrypted request header is generated in pure Python, so runs are fast and cheap.
• Clean structured JSON — output lands in a standard Apify dataset, downloadable as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, or HTML.
• Ready for automation — combine it with Apify scheduling, webhooks, and API access to power lead-gen, due-diligence, and KYC pipelines.
• Apify platform advantages — monitored runs, pay-per-use billing, proxy support, and 15 integrations out of the box.

Actor	Best for

How to use tianyancha-basic-info

1. Open the Actor's Input tab in the Apify Console.
2. Enter one or more company gids (e.g. [9519792, 9519793]).
3. Click Start. The Actor fetches each company's base info and stores it in the run's dataset.
4. Open the run's Dataset tab to preview the JSON, or download it in your preferred format.

You can also run it from the command line with the Apify CLI:

$apify call <username>/tianyancha-basic-info --input '{"gids": [9519792, 9519793]}'

Input

The Actor takes a single input field:

Field	Type	Required	Description
gids	array<integer>	Yes	Tianyancha company group IDs (gids) to fetch, e.g. [9519792, 9519793]

Example input:

{
  "gids": [9519792, 9519793]
}

All Tianyancha API requests use Apify Residential Proxy with the exit location fixed to mainland China (CN). No custom proxy URL or proxy environment variable is required. The Actor checks proxy access during startup and fails clearly instead of falling back to an unproxied request.

The remaining runtime option is preset in the Actor configuration:

Variable	Description
TYC_CONCURRENCY	Maximum number of companies fetched concurrently. Preset and fallback: 8.

Output

The Actor pushes one Dataset item per company. Important fields are extracted to the top level for easy table viewing and export. Millisecond timestamps are converted to ISO dates, and the social-insurance staff count is converted to an integer. The complete, unmodified Tianyancha company object remains available under data, so no source fields are discarded.

A representative (abbreviated) output item looks like:

{
  "gid": 1234567,
  "name": "Example Technology Co., Ltd.",
  "legalPersonName": "Alex Zhang",
  "regStatus": "Active",
  "regCapital": "CNY 10,000,000",
  "establishmentDate": "2015-06-15",
  "approvedDate": "2025-01-15",
  "creditCode": "91110108MA00XXXXXX",
  "regNumber": "11000000XXXXXXXX",
  "industry": "Software and information technology services",
  "socialStaffCount": 100,
  "regLocation": "1 Example Street, Haidian District, Beijing",
  "companyUrl": "https://www.tianyancha.com/company/1234567",
  "data": {

    "name": "Example Technology Co., Ltd.",
    "estiblishTime": 1434326400000,
    "...": "all original Tianyancha fields"
  }
}

Use the Overview view for core company columns, Details for registration and contact fields, and All fields to inspect the complete source object. You can download the dataset in various formats such as JSON, HTML, CSV, or Excel.

How much does it cost to scrape Tianyancha?

This Actor uses pay-per-event pricing at $0.003 per successfully processed company (gid). The number of records, pages, articles, shareholders, events, or listing items returned for that company does not change the price.

Successfully processed companies	Event charge
1	$0.003
2	$0.006
10	$0.030
100	$0.300

A company is charged only after Tianyancha returns a valid response and all output records for that gid are saved to the Dataset. Failed requests, restricted/error responses, and Dataset write failures are not charged. A valid response with zero matching detail records is still a completed company lookup and is charged once. Duplicate input gid values are normalized and processed only once.

Tips or Advanced options

• Get the right gid — every Tianyancha company page has a numeric gid; use the Actor together with a Tianyancha search scraper to feed ids in bulk.
• Batch lookups — pass many gids in a single run; each company is fetched and stored in the same dataset. Feed a long list, or schedule repeated runs via the Apify API.
• Fast and cheap — the Actor uses plain HTTP, so it is far cheaper and faster than browser-based scrapers for the same data.

FAQ, disclaimers, and support

• Is this legal? The Actor accesses Tianyancha's public mobile API. You are responsible for complying with Tianyancha's Terms of Service and applicable laws, and for how you use the data.
• Known limitations — the private API may change without notice; if the Authorization cipher changes, runs may fail until the Actor is updated.
• Need a custom solution? For tailored scraping, bulk export, or integration work, open an issue on the Issues tab or reach out for a custom Actor.
