New Business Filings Feed: CO, NY, CT & OR Registrations Daily

$1 per 1,000 new businesses ($0.60 on the Gold tier), no start fee, no API key. On a schedule, only businesses you have not received before are billed.

Every business that registers with a Secretary of State becomes a public record within a day or three, and the states that publish those records as open data are the cleanest source of brand-new companies there is: no portal scraping, no CAPTCHAs, no stale lists. This Actor reads the official open-data registries of Colorado, New York, Connecticut and Oregon, normalizes them into one row per entity, flags whether the registered agent is a formation service (so you can tell a real founder from a LegalZoom order), and keeps the NAICS code and business email that Connecticut publishes with each record. Run it daily and pipe the rows into a CRM, a mailing list, or an agent.

What you get

Entity rows (kind: "entity"), one per newly registered business, newest first:

{
  "kind": "entity",
  "state": "CT",

  "entityId": "3513698",

entityClass normalizes each state's labels to LLC, Corporation, Nonprofit, Partnership, Assumed name, or Other; entityType keeps the state's own label or code. domestic is true for entities formed in the state (the new businesses) and false for out-of-state entities registering there. agentKind is formation-service (Northwest, LegalZoom, ZenBusiness, CSC, law and accounting firms), organization, or individual; agent street addresses are not included. What each state publishes:

State	Formation date lag	Address	Registered agent	Extra fields
Colorado	about 3 days	principal office	name and kind	status (Good Standing)
New York	1 day	principal office when given, else city and ZIP of the process address	name and kind	county, service-of-process name and locality
Connecticut	1 day	business address	not published	NAICS code and description, business email, ownership flags, annual report due date
Oregon	1 to 2 days	principal place of business, mailing address	name and kind	assumed business names (DBAs), link to the state record

One summary row (kind: "summary", free) reports, per state, how many rows and entities were read, the newest formation date seen (so you can watch each state's publishing lag), and any state that failed, plus how many rows were skipped as already delivered, out-of-state, or by your filters, and whether the run stopped at your spending cap. A state that fails never fails the run; the others are still delivered.

Filter on kind to keep one row type; the Console view New businesses shows the useful columns.

Input

Field	What it does
States	Any of CO, NY, CT, OR.
Formed within (days)	Look-back by formation date. Default 4, which with the "only new" memory covers every state's publishing lag (Colorado about three days) without double billing.
Entity classes	LLC, Corporation, Nonprofit, Partnership, Assumed name, Other. Empty means all.
Domestic entities only	Default on. Off adds out-of-state entities registering to do business.
Skip formation-service agents	Default off (they are flagged, not skipped).
Name keywords, ZIP prefixes	Any-match filters on the entity name and the principal address ZIP.
Counties (NY), NAICS prefixes (CT)	Filters on fields only those states publish; rows from other states pass untouched.
Only new since last run	Default on. Remembers what each snapshot name has delivered (90 days) and skips it next time.
Snapshot name	Which memory "only new" uses; kept on your account as a key-value store named new-business-filings-feed-<name>. Give each schedule its own name.
Max entities per run	Default 2,000, newest first.
Socrata app token	Optional; a free token from any of the portals raises their request limits.

Examples:

{ "states": ["CO", "NY", "CT", "OR"] }

Every new domestic business in four states, daily: the default.

{ "states": ["CT"], "naicsPrefixes": ["23", "238"], "entityClasses": ["LLC", "Corporation"] }

New Connecticut construction companies, with their business email.

{ "states": ["NY"], "counties": ["Kings", "Queens", "New York", "Bronx", "Richmond"], "excludeFormationServiceAgents": true }

New York City registrations where the founder, not a formation service, is the agent.

Pricing

Event	Free	Bronze	Silver	Gold and above
New business filing	$0.001	$0.0009	$0.00075	$0.0006

The four states register roughly 1,200 domestic businesses on a business day (New York about 600, Colorado 350, Oregon 150, Connecticut 130), so the full four-state daily feed costs about $1.20 a day, around $25 a month, and a single state or a NAICS-filtered feed a fraction of that. The summary row is free, and so is an empty run. Set a maximum total charge on the run to cap spend; the Actor stops cleanly when it is reached and never delivers rows it could not bill.

Use cases

• Local services and B2B onboarding: banks, insurers, payroll, web design, accounting and signage firms reach a new company in its first week, before anyone else.
• Lead lists by trade: Connecticut's NAICS codes and Oregon's assumed names pick out contractors, restaurants, clinics, and shops as they open.
• Market research: formation counts by state, county, ZIP, and entity class, day by day.
• Compliance and KYB: confirm a counterparty was formed when it says it was, and who its registered agent is.
• AI agents: ask "which restaurants incorporated in Connecticut this week" through the Apify MCP server and get rows.

Data source and limits

• Colorado: Business Entities in Colorado (data.colorado.gov, public domain). New York: Active Corporations (data.ny.gov). Connecticut: Business Registrations (data.ct.gov, public domain). Oregon: Active Businesses (data.oregon.gov). All are the states' official open-data publications of their registries, read through the Socrata API with a declared User-Agent and one request at a time per portal.
• Each state publishes on its own schedule; the summary row's newestFormationDate shows where each one stands. Colorado lags about three days.
• Rows carry what the state publishes about the business: name, type, dates, business address, registered agent name and locality. Street addresses of agents and of New York's service-of-process contacts are deliberately omitted. Connecticut's business email is the address the business itself filed for public contact.
• Other states (Florida, Texas, California, Iowa, and most others) do not publish comparable open data or charge for API access; they are not included. Ask if you need one, since some can be added from bulk downloads.
• At the end of each run the Actor reports run counts (rows delivered, events charged, duration, status) to its maintainer's dashboard. It never sends your input, your results, or anything about your account.
