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 ## Brazil CNPJ Company API - Normalized Firmographics in English **One clean English row for any Brazil CNPJ.** Paste a list of CNPJ numbers and get analysis-ready company records: legal and trade name, registration status, company size tier, CNAE sector, company age, tax regime, partners, phone, and a composed address - decoded from the raw Receita Federal codes, with the accent mojibake fixed. Brazil's official company data (Receita Federal, served through public open-data endpoints) is a Portuguese-only mess: registration status, company size, branch type and partner roles are bare **numeric codes**; the main activity is a **7-digit CNAE number** with the leading zero dropped; the address is split across six fragments; the tax regime is buried in flags; and accented text comes back **double-encoded** (`Associações` instead of `Associações`). Most "CNPJ scrapers" hand you that raw dump. This Actor does the hard part: it repairs the encoding, decodes every code to an **English** label, resolves the CNAE to a human **sector**, derives lead-quality signals (`isActive`, `companyAgeYears`, `sizeTier`, `taxRegime`, `isHeadquarters`, `hasForeignPartner`), composes the address and formats the phone, and returns **one consistent row** every time. Two public sources are used with automatic failover for reliability. ### ✅ What you get / ❌ what this isn't | This Actor gives you | This Actor is not | |---|---| | One normalized row per CNPJ, English-labeled, identical shape every time | Not a raw Portuguese Receita Federal dump | | Numeric codes decoded: status, size, branch, partner roles | Not affiliated with or endorsed by Receita Federal or the Brazilian government | | CNAE resolved to an English **sector**, leading zero repaired | Not a CNPJ-discovery tool - you supply the CNPJs to enrich | | Lead signals: `isActive`, `companyAgeYears`, `sizeTier`, `taxRegime`, `isHeadquarters` | Not a credit-score, KYC, or background-check service | | Mojibake accents repaired to proper UTF-8 | Not real-time - reflects the Receita Federal open-data cadence | | Dual public source with automatic failover | Not a guarantee that every CNPJ exposes a phone or email | ### 🔎 Why use this Actor - Enrich a list of CNPJs (from invoices, NF-e, a partial scrape, or a CRM) into clean firmographics. - Validate vendors and customers by registration status (`isActive`) before onboarding. - Qualify B2B leads by sector, size tier, company age, and tax regime in one pass. - Get **English** firmographics for an international pipeline instead of Portuguese-only codes. - Feed normalized company data into a CRM, dashboard, model, or LLM workflow. - Skip the plumbing - code decoding, CNAE sector mapping, encoding repair, and address composition are done. ### 👥 Who it's for - Brazil B2B sales and marketing teams building and cleaning prospect lists. - Operations / procurement teams validating supplier CNPJs at onboarding. - Fintech, lending, and compliance teams needing structured firmographics. - Data teams and agencies enriching Brazilian company datasets at scale. - Anyone who wants one tidy English schema instead of a Receita Federal parsing project. ### 🗂️ What data you get One row per CNPJ: | Field | Type | Description | |---|---|---| | `cnpj`, `cnpjFormatted` | string | 14-digit CNPJ and its `00.000.000/0000-00` form | | `legalName`, `tradeName` | string | Razão social and nome fantasia (mojibake repaired) | | `status`, `statusPt`, `isActive` | string / boolean | Registration status in English + Portuguese, plus an active flag | | `sizeTier`, `sizePt` | string | Company size: `MICRO` / `SMALL` / `OTHER` (+ Portuguese) | | `shareCapital` | number | Declared share capital as a number | | `branchType`, `isHeadquarters` | string / boolean | `HEADQUARTERS` / `BRANCH` (matriz / filial) | | `openingDate`, `companyAgeYears` | string / number | Activity start date and derived age in years | | `primaryActivityCode`, `primaryActivity` | string | 7-digit CNAE (zero-padded) and its description | | `sector` | string | English CNAE sector label (Manufacturing, Information & communication, ...) | | `secondaryActivities` | array | Secondary CNAE codes + descriptions | | `legalNature`, `legalNatureCode` | string | Natureza jurídica label and code | | `taxRegime` | string | `MEI` / `SIMPLES_NACIONAL` / `NORMAL` / `UNKNOWN` | | `email`, `phone`, `phoneSecondary` | string | Email and phones formatted as `+55 (DDD) ...` | | `address`, `city`, `state`, `zip`, `cityIbgeCode` | string | Composed street address + structured location | | `partnerCount`, `hasForeignPartner`, `partners[]` | number / boolean / array | Partner (QSA) count, foreign-partner flag, and clean partner rows | ### Example tasks - [Enrich a list of CNPJ numbers into clean company data](https://apify.com/webdata_labs/brazil-cnpj-company-api/examples/enrich-cnpj-list) - [Validate supplier CNPJs by registration status](https://apify.com/webdata_labs/brazil-cnpj-company-api/examples/validate-supplier-cnpjs) - [Build an English firmographic profile for a Brazilian company](https://apify.com/webdata_labs/brazil-cnpj-company-api/examples/english-firmographic-profile) ### ⚙️ How to enrich CNPJ data 1. Open the Actor on Apify. 2. Paste one or more CNPJ numbers into `cnpjs` (comma, space, or new line separated; punctuation is fine). 3. Optionally set `maxItems` and toggle `includeRaw` to keep the original record. 4. Run the Actor and open the `Companies` dataset view. 5. Export JSON, CSV, Excel, HTML, or XML, or call the Actor through the Apify API. ### 📥 Input ```json { "cnpjs": "47.960.950/0001-21, 33000167000101, 19131243000197", "maxItems": 1000, "includeRaw": false } ```` ### 📤 Output ```json { "recordType": "company", "cnpj": "47960950000121", "cnpjFormatted": "47.960.950/0001-21", "legalName": "MAGAZINE LUIZA S/A", "tradeName": "MAGALU", "status": "ACTIVE", "isActive": true, "sizeTier": "OTHER", "sector": "Wholesale & retail trade; vehicle repair", "primaryActivityCode": "4713004", "primaryActivity": "Lojas de departamentos ou magazines", "companyAgeYears": 59.7, "taxRegime": "NORMAL", "shareCapital": 14202162000.0, "branchType": "HEADQUARTERS", "isHeadquarters": true, "phone": "+55 (16) 3711-2002", "address": "RUA VOLUNTARIOS DA FRANCA, 1465, CENTRO, FRANCA - SP, 14400-490", "city": "FRANCA", "state": "SP", "partnerCount": 3, "hasForeignPartner": false } ``` ### 💵 How much does it cost? The launch price is about `$3.00 / 1,000 companies`, tier-discounted for higher Apify plans. One company row is one charged result. A run enriching 500 CNPJs is 500 results. Invalid and not-found rows are not charged. ### 🔁 Run it on the Apify platform Schedule a recurring run to keep a CNPJ list fresh (status changes, new branches), call it from the Apify API, export to CSV/JSON/Excel, or connect the dataset to Make, Zapier, webhooks, a warehouse, a CRM, or an LLM pipeline. ### ⚠️ Limits and caveats - This Actor reads **public Receita Federal open-data endpoints**. It is not affiliated with the Brazilian government and returns only data already public in the CNPJ registry. - **You supply the CNPJs.** This is an enrichment/validation Actor, not a company-discovery search over the full registry. - **Field coverage varies.** Not every company publishes an email or a second phone. Missing fields are returned as `null` rather than guessed. - **`sector` is the CNAE division label** for the primary activity; the exact 7-digit code and full secondary list are always preserved. - Personal identifiers of partners (CPF) are masked at source; only the public partner name, role, and entry date are returned. - Data reflects the Receita Federal open-data refresh cadence, not real time. ### 🧩 Related Actors - EU Tenders API - normalized TED public procurement in one English schema. - SEC Financials API - normalized income, balance sheet, and cash flow from EDGAR. - US Building Permits API - normalized construction permits and contractor leads. - Website Contact Extractor - verified, outreach-ready emails from any domain. ### ❓ FAQ #### What is a CNPJ? The CNPJ (Cadastro Nacional da Pessoa Jurídica) is Brazil's national company registration number. Every legal entity has one. This Actor turns a CNPJ into a clean, English-labeled firmographic record. #### Where does the data come from? From public open-data endpoints over the official Receita Federal CNPJ dataset. The Actor uses two sources with automatic failover, so a rate limit on one does not fail your run. #### Can it find companies by sector or city? No. This Actor enriches CNPJs you already have. It is built for validation and lead enrichment, not discovery over the full registry. #### Why is the sector in English but the activity description in Portuguese? The `sector` is a normalized English label derived from the CNAE division so you can group and filter internationally. The `primaryActivity` keeps the official Portuguese description for exactness. #### Why were the accents broken before, and are they fixed? The source feeds return accented text double-encoded (mojibake). This Actor detects and repairs it, so `Associações` comes back correctly, not `Associações`. #### Does it need a proxy? No. The sources are public official endpoints served reliably to datacenter IPs. Enable Apify Proxy only for very large batches. ### 🛠️ Support For bugs, missing fields, or a feature request, open an Actor issue with the run URL, the CNPJs used, and the field or behavior you expected. ### ⭐ Rate this Actor If this Actor saved you time, please take 30 seconds to leave a review on the **Reviews** tab of [Brazil CNPJ Company API - Normalized Firmographics in English](https://apify.com/webdata_labs/brazil-cnpj-company-api) - reviews are the main trust signal other users see, and they directly decide which features get built next.

Punctuation is fine - '19.131.243/0001-97' and '19131243000197' both work. Each valid CNPJ returns one normalized company row. ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Safety cap on how many CNPJs to enrich in one run. ## `includeRaw` (type: `boolean`): Attach the original unnormalized Receita Federal record under 'raw' for auditing. Off by default to keep rows clean. ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Optional. The CNPJ data sources are public official endpoints and work without a proxy; enable Apify Proxy only for very large batches. ## Actor input object example ```json { "cnpjs": "47960950000121, 19131243000197", "maxItems": 1000, "includeRaw": false, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": false } } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `OUTPUT` (type: `string`): No description # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
