## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## Cyprus Company Register Scraper — DRCOR KYB Data

Search and extract Cyprus company data from [DRCOR](https://efiling.drcor.mcit.gov.cy) (Τμήμα
Εφόρου Εταιρειών — the Department of Registrar of Companies and Intellectual Property), Cyprus's
official national company register run by the Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Tourism. Look up
a company by name or HE registration number and get its entity type, registration status,
registration date, directors, company secretary, and registered office address — in one
structured pass, straight from the same public search DRCOR's own portal uses.

### How to scrape Cyprus company register data

This actor drives DRCOR's own public search and company-profile pages directly — the exact search
and detail flow `efiling.drcor.mcit.gov.cy` itself uses, no login and no API key required. It
returns one structured record per matching company: entity type, current status, registration
date, directors and secretary, and registered office address, exported via the Apify API,
CSV/Excel/JSON, or scheduled runs.

#### Search by name or HE number

Enter a company name (e.g. `BANK OF CYPRUS`, `Wargaming`) or an HE registration number (e.g.
`HE165` or `165`) in **Company Name or HE Number**. DRCOR matches from the start of the name, so a
group name (e.g. `MARFIN`) returns every company and trade name registered under it.

#### Result limit

**Max Results** caps how many full company profiles the actor fetches per run (default 20, up to
200\). DRCOR paginates its search results 10 per page; the actor walks as many pages as needed to
reach your limit.

### Common use cases

- Build B2B prospecting lists of Cyprus-registered companies enriched with entity type, status,
  and registered office.
- Verify a Cyprus supplier's, customer's, or partner's legal status, registration date, and
  current directors before signing a contract.
- KYB / KYC pre-checks — pull HE number, registration status, directors, and company secretary in
  one pass, a common requirement given Cyprus's role as an EU corporate/holding-structure hub.
- Track director and secretary changes for companies you monitor.
- Feed structured Cyprus company data into CRM enrichment or market-research pipelines, matching
  the field shape of our other European company-register actors.

### Cost estimate

Pricing is pay-per-result. Each run makes one HTML search request per 10-result page plus one
detail request per matched company — plain HTTP requests against a public government portal, no
browser rendering used, so compute cost per run is low. A run returning 20 companies typically
makes around 22 total HTTP requests, lightly paced to be a good citizen of a government server. A
run's usage cost only settles after it reports SUCCEEDED.

### Tips

- Searching a group name (e.g. `MARFIN`) surfaces every company and trade name registered under
  that name — a fast way to map out a group's Cyprus corporate structure.
- Search by exact HE number when you already know it — it resolves directly to a single record.
- Company results include both live and historical entity types on the same register: a
  `Εμπορική Επωνυμία` (trade name) hit points back to its owning company via the `officers` array
  (role `Ιδιοκτήτης`, "Owner"), useful for connecting a trading name to its parent legal entity.

### Limitations

- DRCOR does not publish a VAT/tax number on this public portal (unlike some other EU registers) —
  the HE registration number is the stable identifier for a Cyprus company.
- The `pendingServicesCount` field reports how many filing/service events are on record, not the
  events themselves — DRCOR paginates that history 10 rows at a time per company, and walking it in
  full for every result would multiply requests well beyond what most KYB use cases need.
- Contact fields (phone, email, website) are not published on this register at all — DRCOR's public
  search surfaces entity, status, officer, and address data only, mirroring what a human visitor
  sees on the site.

### Data source and legality

This actor reads publicly available company data directly from DRCOR's own public search portal,
the Cyprus Department of Registrar of Companies and Intellectual Property's official register. It
does not access any login-protected area, does not require an API key, and identifies itself with
a standard browser user agent. Use the data in line with applicable data-protection rules, in
particular when handling personal data of named directors and secretaries returned in some
results.

# Actor input Schema

## `searchQuery` (type: `string`):

Search for a Cyprus company by name (e.g. 'BANK OF CYPRUS' or 'Wargaming') or by exact HE registration number (e.g. 'HE165' or '165'). Matches from the start of the name.

## `maxResults` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of companies to return full profiles for.

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

Select proxies to use. DRCOR has no anti-bot protection (plain ASP.NET WebForms site); the automatic Apify proxy is enough.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "searchQuery": "BANK OF CYPRUS",
  "maxResults": 20,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true
  }
