## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## Finland Company Registry (YTJ) — Finnish Company Data API

> Independent tool, not affiliated with PRH (Patentti- ja rekisterihallitus).

Extract **official Finnish company registry data from the YTJ Open Data API** (Finnish Trade Register, PRH) and turn Finland's register into a **targeted B2B list**. Search by name, city, industry or company form, or fetch by business ID. Get business ID, EUID, names, company form, TOL industry code, addresses, register status and more. Official open data — no scraping, no API key, no login.

### Why YTJ Registry?

- 🎯 **Build prospect lists** across any Finnish industry — with websites and addresses to work from.
- ✅ **Verify counterparties** — business ID, company form and register status straight from the national register.
- 🕰️ **History included** — previous names and historical name search catch rebranded companies.
- 📋 **Enrich your CRM** — flat, one-record-per-company JSON ready for import or automation.

### Use cases

Lead generation in Finland · KYC/counterparty verification · market research by TOL industry · CRM enrichment · company status monitoring

### What data you get?

| 🏷️ Field | Description |
| --- | --- |
| 🆔 businessId | Finnish business ID |
| 🌍 euId | EUID |
| 🏢 name / previousNames | Current and historical names |
| 🏛️ companyForm | Company form code (OY, OYJ, KY, AY, …) + description |
| 🧭 industryCode / industry | TOL 2008 industry code and text |

| 📅 registrationDate / endDate | Registration and end dates |
| ✅ status / tradeRegisterStatus | Business ID and Trade Register status |
| 📍 streetAddress / postalAddress / municipality | Registered addresses |
| 📒 registeredEntries / situations | Register entries and statuses |

### How to use

1. Add the actor to your Apify account and click **Run**.
2. Enter `query` (e.g. `kauppakeskus`), a `businessIdList`, and/or filters (`location`, `companyForm`, `mainBusinessLine`).
3. Set `maxResults` to cap the run (default 100, max 1000).
4. Export results as JSON, CSV or Excel.

### Input

```json
{
  "query": "rakennus helsinki",
  "maxResults": 100
}
```

| Field | Type | Description | Default |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `query` | string | Keyword against current and historical Finnish company names | — |
| `businessIdList` | array | Direct list of business IDs (e.g. `0184852-1`; digits-only accepted) | — |
| `location` | string | Town or city of the registered office, e.g. `Helsinki` | — |
| `companyForm` | string | YTJ form code, e.g. `OY`, `OYJ`, `KY`, `AY` | — |
| `mainBusinessLine` | string | TOL 2008 code (e.g. `68202`) or industry text | — |
| `maxResults` | integer | Cap on companies returned | 100 (max 1000) |

### Output

```json
{
  "businessId": "0184852-1",
  "name": "Example Oy",
  "companyForm": "OY",
  "companyFormDescription": "Limited company",
  "industryCode": "68202",

  "website": "https://example.fi",
  "registrationDate": "1995-04-12",
  "municipality": "Helsinki",
  "tradeRegisterStatus": "Registered"
}
```

Website and address details appear only where registered — the actor returns what the register publishes.

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{}' |
apify call vhsgreed/finland-ytj-api-fresh --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,vhsgreed/finland-ytj-api-fresh"

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).
