Two companies are returned (Banco do Brasil and Petrobras head offices): 2 × $0.0015 = $0.003, plus Apify's standard start fee ($0.00005 per GB of memory, $0.0002 at the default 4 GB). Add "includePartners": true to get the QSA at the same price.

(Shortened. Every item also has complemento, dataOpcaoSimples, dataExclusaoSimples, dataOpcaoMei, cidadeExterior and pais.)

With includePartners: true, each item gets a socios array (QSA). Example entry (name made up):

{ "nome": "FULANA DE TAL", "tipo": "PESSOA_FISICA", "cpfCnpj": "***274418**", "qualificacao": "Sócio",
  "dataEntrada": "2000-10-23", "pais": null, "representanteLegal": null, "faixaEtaria": "41-50" }

CPFs come masked by Receita. tipo is PESSOA_FISICA, PESSOA_JURIDICA or ESTRANGEIRO.

CNPJs not found in the current snapshot are listed in the run's key-value store under NOT_FOUND and are not charged. A SUMMARY record has the counts.

Speed and freshness

Measured on Apify in October 2026 with the default 4 GB memory, total run time including Apify's container start:

Job	Run time
1 CNPJ	~1.0 s (up to ~3.2 s)
15 CNPJs with partners	~1.0 s (up to ~2.7 s)
100 CNPJs with partners	~1.4 s (up to ~3.9 s)
500 CNPJs, no partners	~26–30 s
Search, 20 results	~2.5 s
Search, 200 results	~12 s

The lower number is when Apify already has the Actor cached on the server; the higher one includes Apify downloading the Actor (about 1.5–2.5 s). Lookups of up to 100 CNPJs (without includeBranches) use a dedicated fast path. Large searches scan the full Receita dataset and take longer; more memory gives more CPU.

Freshness: Receita Federal publishes the CNPJ open data once a month, and each new release is loaded within a few days. Current snapshot: 2026-10-13.

Every item carries its snapshot date. This is not a real-time query to the Receita website: changes after the snapshot date appear with the next monthly release.

Pricing (pay per event)

Event	Price
CNPJ looked up (each company record returned in lookup mode; partners included)	$1.50 per 1,000 ($0.0015 each)
Company returned in search or newCompanies mode	$1.20 per 1,000 ($0.0012 each)
Actor start (Apify standard)	$0.00005 per GB of memory ($0.0002 at the default 4 GB)

• CNPJs that are not found cost nothing. With includeBranches, each branch returned counts as one lookup.
• No proxy or compute charges on top: you pay per result.
• Cap your spend with maxResults (search) or Maximum cost per run in Apify. The Actor stops cleanly at the limit.

API usage

from apify_client import ApifyClient
client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>")
run = client.actor("wlubrigati/cnpj-brasil-empresas").call(run_input={
    "mode": "lookup", "cnpjs": ["00000000000191", "33000167000101"], "includePartners": True})
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item["cnpj"], item["razaoSocial"], item["situacao"])

Or use the synchronous endpoint run-sync-get-dataset-items to get the items in a single HTTP request.

FAQ

Is this the official Receita Federal API? No. Receita doesn't offer a free bulk query API. This Actor serves Receita's official open data, processed for fast lookups and searches. It is not affiliated with Receita Federal.

Can I get a company's status today? You get the status as of the latest monthly snapshot (see snapshot). For legal proof of current status, use the official Comprovante de Inscrição on the Receita website.

Why are partner CPFs masked? Receita publishes them masked. We don't unmask or enrich personal data.
