Fresh business registrations pulled straight from official state open-data portals (Socrata): the day an LLC, corporation or nonprofit appears on the public record, you get the entity name, filing date, type, status, registered agent, public business address and a link back to the source record. No login, no scraping of websites, no LLM, no proxies.

Typical uses: B2B prospecting for banks, accountants, insurers, web and software agencies, payroll and registered-agent services, commercial real estate and equipment lessors, who all want to reach a company in its first weeks.

Coverage

State	Portal	Registered agent	Address	Status
CO Colorado	data.colorado.gov	yes	principal office	yes
NY New York	data.ny.gov	where filed	service-of-process address	no
OR Oregon	data.oregon.gov	yes	principal place of business	no
CT Connecticut	data.ct.gov	not published	business address	yes

Checked and not available as an open-data API today: Iowa (Iowa Data Hub no longer exposes the entity table over SODA), Washington (the SOS corporations table is not published as an API dataset). They will be added if a public feed appears.

Freshness: CO, NY and CT publish within about a day. Oregon's open dataset lags roughly one to two weeks, so use daysBack 14 or more to see Oregon rows.

Input

Field	Meaning
states	CO, NY, OR, CT (default all)
daysBack	formed in the last N days (default 7, max 90)
entityTypes	LLC, CORPORATION, NONPROFIT, PARTNERSHIP, OTHER (empty = all)
keywords	name must contain any keyword, for example roofing, dental, logistics
activeOnly	drop rejected / dissolved / withdrawn records (default on)
maxItems	cap on rows delivered and charged, split evenly across states (default 100)
onlyNewSinceLastRun	dedupe across runs by state and entity ID (default on)

Output (one row per filing)

entityName, state, filingDate, entityType (normalized), entityTypeRaw (as filed), status, registeredAgent, address {street, city, state, zip} and addressType, jurisdiction, county, naicsCode (where published), entityId, sourceUrl, sourcePortal, scrapedAt.

Pricing

Pay per event: $0.00005 per run start plus $0.004 per filing returned ($4 per 1,000). Rows removed by your filters, rejected records and rows already delivered in an earlier run (dedupe) are never charged. Set a max charge on the run and the actor stops when it is reached.

Data and compliance notice

• Only the public business record is returned: the fields the state itself publishes as open data. Business email addresses and owner contact details that some portals expose are deliberately dropped. A registered agent is a public role on the filing (often a commercial agent company); an individual's name appears only where the state publishes it as the agent of record.
• Use the data for business-to-business outreach to the entity. You are responsible for your own compliance: in the US, commercial email must follow CAN-SPAM (accurate sender identity, a physical address, a working opt-out honored within 10 business days); calls and texts are subject to the TCPA and state do-not-call rules. Do not use this data for consumer profiling, eligibility decisions, or contacting a person at a home address as a consumer.
• The data comes from state open-data portals and is provided as is; states publish with delays and may correct or remove records.

Use from AI agents (MCP, ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity)

New Business Filings works as a tool for AI assistants through the official Apify MCP server. Add this server URL to any MCP client (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, ChatGPT connectors, VS Code):

https://mcp.apify.com/?actors=transparent_meteorite/new-business-filings

Claude Desktop / Cursor config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "apify": {
      "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?actors=transparent_meteorite/new-business-filings",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer <YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>" }
    }
  }
}

Then ask in plain language, for example: "Where can I get a daily list of new LLCs?"

Call it directly over HTTP (runs the actor and returns the dataset items in one request):

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/transparent_meteorite~new-business-filings/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=$APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"states": ["CO", "NY", "OR", "CT"], "daysBack": 7, "maxItems": 20}'

Python:

from apify_client import ApifyClient
client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>")
run = client.actor("transparent_meteorite/new-business-filings").call(run_input={"states": ["CO", "NY", "OR", "CT"], "daysBack": 7, "maxItems": 20})
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item)

The same actor works in n8n, Make, Zapier, LangChain, LlamaIndex and CrewAI through their Apify integrations.

Questions people ask

Where can I get a daily list of new LLCs? Schedule this actor daily with onlyNewSinceLastRun true; it returns new LLC and corporation filings from CO, NY, OR and CT.

Does it include owner emails or phones? No. It returns only the public fields the state publishes, such as registered agent and business address.

Which states are covered? Colorado, New York, Oregon and Connecticut.

Limits and behavior

Requests are serial and spaced (at least 350 ms apart) with backoff on 429/5xx. If one state portal is down the others still deliver, and the run output notes the warning in the OUTPUT record.
