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.

Run in 30 seconds

1. Open the prefilled run (free Apify account; it creates a saved task with a working input).
2. Press Start. The input is small on purpose, so the first run is quick and costs a few cents at most.
3. Open the Output tab, switch to Table view, download as CSV, Excel or JSON.

Prefilled input:

{
  "states": [
    "CO",
    "NY",
    "OR",
    "CT"
  ],
  "daysBack": 7,
  "activeOnly": true,
  "maxItems": 3,
  "onlyNewSinceLastRun": false,
  "stateStoreName": "new-business-filings-seen"
}

Ready-made presets by use case (each opens as a saved task you can edit):

• New Colorado LLCs for service vendors
• New York construction company filings

Why choose this over alternatives

• Official state open data from CO, NY, OR and CT in one schema.
• Name, filing date, entity type, status, registered agent, public address and a source link.
• Deduplicated across runs, so a daily schedule only bills new filings.
• $0.004 per filing.

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 CO + NY)
companyName	name-search mode: find entities by name in the chosen states (no date window)
exactMatch	with companyName, match the full registered name exactly
maxResultsPerState	optional per-state cap (default: maxItems split evenly)
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 25)
onlyNewSinceLastRun	dedupe across runs by state and entity ID (default on)

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.

Apify's free plan includes $5 of monthly platform credit, which covers about 1,000 business filings with this actor (at $0.004 per result, plus small platform usage). Paid Apify plans get the same data with no monthly cap; scheduled daily runs stay cheap because each run only returns new records.

Use cases

• B2B sales to new businesses: banking, insurance, payroll, accounting and web services.
• Registered agents and formation services: watch new filings by state and entity type.
• Researchers: track business formation by state and keyword.
• Daily feeds: schedule with onlyNewSinceLastRun to get only filings you have not seen.

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.

Use it from code

Small real input: it returns only a couple of rows, so a test run costs very little (see Pricing). Set the APIFY_TOKEN environment variable to your token from Apify Console > Settings > API & Integrations.

Python (pip install apify-client)

import os
from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient(os.environ["APIFY_TOKEN"])
run_input = {'states': ['CO'], 'daysBack': 7, 'maxItems': 2, 'onlyNewSinceLastRun': False}
run = client.actor("transparent_meteorite/new-business-filings").call(run_input=run_input)
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item)

JavaScript / Node.js (npm install apify-client)

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: process.env.APIFY_TOKEN });
const input = {
  "states": [
    "CO"
  ],
  "daysBack": 7,
  "maxItems": 2,
  "onlyNewSinceLastRun": false
};
const run = await client.actor('transparent_meteorite/new-business-filings').call(input);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(items);

curl (runs the actor and returns the dataset items in one call)

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/transparent_meteorite~new-business-filings/run-sync-get-dataset-items" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"states": ["CO"], "daysBack": 7, "maxItems": 2, "onlyNewSinceLastRun": false}'

Send results to Google Sheets, Zapier, Make or n8n

• Google Sheets: every run's dataset has a CSV export link: https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/<DATASET_ID>/items?format=csv&clean=true (the dataset ID is on the run's Storage tab). In Sheets, =IMPORTDATA("<that link>") loads it. Anyone with the link can read that dataset, so share it carefully. To export to Google Drive automatically, use the Google Drive integration on the actor's Integrations tab.
• Zapier: in the Apify app, use the trigger Finished Actor run (or Run Actor as an action) with transparent_meteorite/new-business-filings, then Fetch dataset items and pass the rows to Google Sheets, a CRM or Slack.
• Make: the Apify app has Watch Actor Runs, Run an Actor and Get Dataset Items modules; connect them to any Make app.
• n8n: install the Apify node (@apify/n8n-nodes-apify) and use Run an Actor and get dataset, or the On new Apify event trigger.
• Schedule and webhooks: create a Task with your input, add a Schedule in Apify Console, and add a webhook if you want a call when a run finishes.

See the Apify integrations docs for setup steps.

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.

Reliability

Last 30 days, measured from Apify run records (all runs, including our own daily health checks): 16 of 16 finished runs succeeded (100.0%), median run time 2.8 s (90th percentile 4.4 s). Aborted runs (0) are not counted.

Updated 2026-10-11 automatically every week from the run history. Report any failure on the Issues tab with the run URL.

More questions

Where can I get a daily list of new LLCs? Run this actor with states and daysBack. It reads the official state open-data portals and returns one row per new filing.

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

Does it include owner emails or phone numbers? No. It returns only the public fields each state publishes, which do not include personal phone or email.

How this compares

These records are free on each state's open-data portal. This actor queries several states with one input, normalizes the fields and remembers what you already received. Commercial new-business lists may cover all states and add contact data; this actor covers four states and only public fields.
