## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## Norwegian Company Register with Financials (Brønnøysund)

Search and export every Norwegian company from the official open data of the **Brønnøysund Register Centre**, with each company's **latest annual accounts**: revenue, operating profit, net profit, assets, equity, and debt. About 710,000 entities: AS, ASA, NUF, partnerships, cooperatives, associations, foundations, housing cooperatives, and more. Built for lead generation, credit and supplier checks, market sizing, and AI agents that need Norwegian company facts in one clean JSON record.

### What you get

For every company: organisation number, name, legal form, up to three NACE industry codes with descriptions, registered employee count, website, email, phone, business and postal address with municipality, sector, founding and registration dates, VAT status, bankruptcy and liquidation flags, group membership, share capital, statutory purpose, and a link to the official register page. With **Add latest annual accounts** on (default), each record also carries the latest filed accounts from the Register of Company Accounts.

### Filters

- **Organisation numbers** and **Name contains**.
- **NACE industry codes**: prefixes such as `62` (IT), `43.2` (electrical installation), `56.1` (restaurants).
- **Legal forms**, **Municipalities**, **Postcode prefix**.
- **Minimum / maximum employees**, **VAT registered only**.
- **Exclude bankrupt or liquidating** (default on).
- **Registered on or after / before**: run daily to catch new companies.
- **Minimum / maximum revenue** from the latest accounts. Each candidate needs one accounts lookup, so combine with industry, place, or employee filters.

### Pricing

Pay per event: one `company` event per record saved. Scanning the register and looking up accounts costs you nothing extra. Set a maximum total charge and the Actor stops cleanly when it is reached.

### Data, licence, and privacy

The register comes from the Brønnøysund Register Centre's bulk download, and the accounts from the open part of the Register of Company Accounts API. Both are published under the **Norwegian Licence for Open Government Data (NLOD 2.0)**, which allows commercial reuse with attribution: "Contains data under the Norwegian licence for Open Government data (NLOD) distributed by the Brønnøysund Register Centre". Each run reads the current data.

Sole proprietorships (ENK) are always left out, because their entity name is the owner's personal name. Mobile numbers are never output. Respect Norwegian marketing law when you use email and phone details for outreach.

# Actor input Schema

## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

Stop after this many companies have been saved.

## `orgNumbers` (type: `array`):

Look up specific companies by 9-digit organisation number. Leave empty to search the whole register.

## `nameContains` (type: `string`):

Keep companies whose name contains this text (case-insensitive).

## `nacePrefixes` (type: `array`):

Keep companies with any NACE code starting with these, for example 62 (IT), 43.2 (electrical installation), 56.1 (restaurants).

## `legalForms` (type: `array`):

Keep only these legal forms. Empty keeps all. Sole proprietorships (ENK) are never included.

## `municipalities` (type: `array`):

Keep companies whose business address (or postal address) is in these municipalities, for example Oslo, Bergen, or Trondheim.

## `postcodePrefix` (type: `string`):

## `includeAccounts` (type: `boolean`):

## `minRevenue` (type: `integer`):

Keep companies whose latest accounts show at least this revenue (in the accounts currency, usually NOK). Each candidate needs an accounts lookup, so combine with other filters.

## `maxRevenue` (type: `integer`):

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{}' |
apify call tapedawn/norway-company-register --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,tapedawn/norway-company-register"
        }
    }
}
```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
