Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. 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. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Canada New Incorporations — Fresh Federal Company Leads A **daily feed of newly incorporated federal Canadian companies**, built from the official [Corporations Canada open data](https://open.canada.ca/data/en/dataset/0032ce54-c5dd-4b66-99a0-320a7b5e99f2) (Open Government Licence). Filter to companies incorporated in the last N days and get a clean, structured lead list — updated daily at the source. ### Why this is useful A brand-new company is a brand-new buyer. Newly incorporated businesses need banking, insurance, accounting, legal, payroll, and software — fast. This Actor turns the federal register into a **fresh B2B lead feed** you can pull on a schedule. ### What you get One record per corporation: - **Corporation number** and **Business Number (BN)** - **Corporate name** (and secondary/operating name) - **Incorporation date** (CBCA anniversary / formation date) - **Registered office address** — street, city, province, postal code - **Status** and **governing legislation** - **Min / max number of directors** ### Example input ```json { "incorporatedWithinDays": 30, "provinces": ["ON", "BC"], "keywords": ["holdings", "consulting"], "onlyNewSinceLastRun": true, "maxResults": 500 } ```` - **incorporatedWithinDays** — only companies incorporated in the last N days (set `0` for all active corporations) - **provinces** — two-letter codes of the registered office; empty = all of Canada - **keywords** — match corporate name or city - **includeOtherTypes** — also include not-for-profits, cooperatives and boards of trade - **onlyNewSinceLastRun** — incremental mode; return only corporations not seen before (perfect for a daily new-company feed) - **maxResults** — cost guard; `0` = no limit ### Example output ```json { "corporationNumber": "9876543", "businessNumber": "123456789RC0001", "name": "BRIGHT NEW STARTUP INC.", "governingAct": "Canada Business Corporations Act", "status": "Active", "incorporationDate": "2026-07-01", "address": "10 King St W, Suite 200", "city": "Toronto", "province": "ON", "postalCode": "M5H1A1", "minDirectors": 1, "maxDirectors": 10, "id": "corp-9876543" } ``` Export to Excel / CSV works out of the box, so the list drops straight into a CRM or an outreach campaign. Schedule the Actor daily with `onlyNewSinceLastRun` for an automatic feed of just-registered companies. ### Use with AI agents (MCP) This Actor is available over the Model Context Protocol: ``` https://mcp.apify.com?tools=truenorthdata/canada-new-incorporations ``` Ask an MCP client in plain language — *"companies incorporated in Ontario this week"* — and the agent runs the Actor and filters for you. ### Notes - **Source:** Corporations Canada (Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada), Federal Corporations open data, Open Government Licence – Canada. Files are updated **daily**. Covers federal corporations only (CBCA business corporations, plus optionally NFP / cooperatives / boards of trade) — not provincial registrations. - **Contact data:** registered office mailing address is included; the bulk data does not include director names, phone or email. Director names are available per corporation via the Corporations Canada API (a possible future enhancement). # Actor input Schema ## `incorporatedWithinDays` (type: `integer`): Return only corporations incorporated in the last N days (by CBCA anniversary/incorporation date). A fresh-company lead feed. Set 0 to return all active corporations (large). ## `provinces` (type: `array`): Two-letter codes of the registered office to include, e.g. 'ON', 'BC', 'QC', 'AB'. Leave empty for all of Canada. ## `keywords` (type: `array`): Filter by corporate name or city (e.g. 'consulting', 'holdings', 'Toronto'). Case-insensitive, matches any keyword. ## `includeOtherTypes` (type: `boolean`): Also include 'other' active federal corporations (not-for-profit, cooperatives, boards of trade) in addition to business corporations. ## `onlyNewSinceLastRun` (type: `boolean`): Incremental mode: return only corporations (by corporation number) not seen in previous runs. Perfect for a daily new-company feed. ## `maxResults` (type: `integer`): Stop after this many corporations (cost guard). 0 = no limit. ## Actor input object example ```json { "incorporatedWithinDays": 30, "includeOtherTypes": false, "onlyNewSinceLastRun": false, "maxResults": 500 } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "incorporatedWithinDays": 30, "maxResults": 500 }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("truenorthdata/canada-new-incorporations").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
