Singapore Company Search — ACRA Registry Data & UEN Lookup

Official ACRA open data — no API key, no scraping, no proxies. $1 per 1,000 companies. Search Singapore's company register by name or keyword, or look up exact records by UEN. The legal, ban-proof alternative to scraped B2B databases.

Runs out of the box: no key, no setup. Singapore's ACRA "Information on Corporate Entities" dataset is published as open data on data.gov.sg — this actor queries it directly.

What it does

Mode	Input	Output
search	name or keyword	Singapore companies matching the query
lookup	list of UENs	Exact entity records for each UEN

Each record includes: entity name, UEN, status (Live / Struck Off / …), entity type, incorporation date, registered address, SSIC activity codes, primary activity, officer count, and any former names.

Fast name search. ACRA open data is sharded by the first letter of the entity name. search checks the shard matching your query's first letter and returns in seconds when it fills your maxItems. For broad keyword queries (e.g. tech, logistics) where matches can start with any letter, enable sgFullSweep to merge results from all 27 shards (~1–2 minutes, exhaustive).

Example input

{
    "mode": "search",
    "query": "software",
    "activeOnly": true,
    "maxItems": 100
}

UEN lookup:

{
    "mode": "lookup",
    "uens": ["201812345K", "T09LL0001B"]
}

Example output item

{
    "type": "company",
    "uen": "201812345K",
    "name": "EXAMPLE SOFTWARE PTE. LTD.",
    "status": "Live Company",
    "entityType": "Local Company",
    "incorporationDate": "2018-05-14",
    "address": "12 Example Street, #04-01, Example Building, Singapore 049908",

    "primaryActivity": "DEVELOPMENT OF SOFTWARE AND APPLICATIONS",
    "officersCount": 3,
    "formerNames": []
}

Pricing

Event	Price	When charged
company-result-delivered	$0.001	Each company record delivered — a search hit or a UEN lookup result
Actor start	$0.00005	Per run

That is $1 per 1,000 companies. Failed or not-found lookups are never charged, and a record is only billed after it is saved to the dataset. Set maxItems to cap spend.

Data source & fair use

• ACRA Information on Corporate Entities via data.gov.sg open data (published by ACRA; registered-address granularity as published).

The Singapore company register is public by law. Records are public-register data — use them lawfully (Singapore's PDPA applies to how you process them downstream). This actor is not affiliated with ACRA or data.gov.sg.

Field coverage: the ACRA open dataset publishes entity details, status, SSIC codes, address, and officer count — it does not publish officer names.
