## 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

## Norway Company Registry (BRREG) — Norwegian Company Data API

> Independent tool, not affiliated with Brønnøysundregistrene.

Extract **official Norwegian company data from Enhetsregisteret (BRREG)** — the national register of Brønnøysundregistrene — via its open API. Search by name or fetch org numbers directly. Get NACE codes, employees, addresses, contacts, registration dates, VAT registration, bankruptcy and liquidation flags, plus subunits. Official open data — no scraping, no API key, no login.

### Why BRREG Registry API?

- 🎯 **Build prospect lists** across any Norwegian industry — with NACE codes for precise targeting.
- ✅ **Deep risk signals** — VAT registration, Foretaksregisteret status, bankruptcy and liquidation flags on every record.
- 👥 **Contacts included** — email, phone and homepage where registered.
- 🏬 **Subunits available** — fetch branches (underenheter) per company via `fetchDetails`.
- 📋 **Enrich your CRM** — flat, one-record-per-company JSON ready for import.

### Use cases

Lead generation in Norway · KYC/counterparty verification · credit and risk screening · industry mapping by NACE code · CRM enrichment

### How to use

1. Add the actor to your Apify account and click **Run**.
2. Enter `query` (e.g. `Bakeri`) or an `orgnrList`.
3. Enable `fetchDetails` to also fetch branches per company.
4. Set `maxResults` to cap the run (default 100, max 1000).
5. Export results as JSON, CSV or Excel.

### Input

```json
{
  "query": "Bakeri",
  "fetchDetails": true,
  "maxResults": 100
}
```

| `orgnrList` | array | Direct list of 9-digit org numbers (enhet or underenhet) | — |
| `fetchDetails` | boolean | For each search result, also fetch its branches/subunits | — |

## CLI example

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

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,vhsgreed/norway-brreg-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).
