## 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

## NIT Colombia API - Buscar Empresa por NIT o Razon Social

Consulta **NIT Colombia**, razon social o matricula mercantil usando datos abiertos RUES publicados en Datos Abiertos Colombia. Entrega empresas estructuradas en Apify Dataset, JSON, CSV, Excel, XML y API para validacion comercial, CRM, BI, monitoreo y automatizacion.

El Actor usa la API de datos abiertos directamente, no navegador. Esto lo hace rapido, barato y estable para consultas puntuales o lotes. Cada empresa entregada se cobra como evento `result` a **USD 0.003**.

### Para que sirve

| Caso de uso | Como ayuda |
| --- | --- |
| Buscar empresa por NIT | Devuelve razon social, estado, camara, matricula y actividad. |
| Validacion de proveedores | Revisa estado de matricula, renovacion y datos de registro. |
| Limpieza de CRM | Normaliza NIT, digito verificador y razon social. |
| Inteligencia comercial | Extrae empresas por nombre o matricula para analisis y dashboards. |
| Automatizacion via API | Descarga resultados en JSON, CSV, Excel o por Apify API. |

### Fuente y cobertura

La fuente es el dataset publico **Personas Naturales, Personas Juridicas y Entidades Sin Animo de Lucro** de `datos.gov.co`, relacionado con informacion registral RUES. El Actor esta orientado a filas con NIT y empresas; no esta pensado para consulta de cedulas de ciudadania.

La frescura, cobertura y actualizacion dependen de la fuente publica. El dataset usado fue verificado con actualizacion visible en la fuente el 2026-06-01 UTC.

### Input rapido

Buscar por NIT:

```json
{
  "queries": [
    {
      "searchType": "nit",
      "term": "900654922-7"
    }
  ],
  "maxPagesPerQuery": 1,
  "maxResultsPerQuery": 3,
  "pageSize": 3,
  "validateCheckDigit": true
}
```

Buscar por razon social:

```json
{
  "queries": [
    {
      "searchType": "razon_social",
      "term": "PRUEBA"
    }
  ],
  "maxPagesPerQuery": 2,
  "maxResultsPerQuery": 6,
  "pageSize": 3
}
```

Buscar por matricula mercantil:

```json
{
  "queries": [
    {
      "searchType": "matricula",
      "term": "18108052"
    }
  ]
}
```

### Output

Cada fila puede incluir:

| Campo | Descripcion |
| --- | --- |
| `status` | `success`, `no_results`, `blocked` o `failed`. |
| `nit_full` | NIT con digito verificador cuando la fuente lo entrega. |
| `business_name` | Razon social. |
| `registration_status` | Estado de la matricula. |
| `organization_type` | Tipo de organizacion juridica. |
| `company_type` | Tipo de sociedad. |
| `chamber` | Camara de comercio. |

| `renewal_date` | Fecha de renovacion cuando existe. |
| `source_url` | URL exacta de la consulta a la fuente. |
| `error_message` | Motivo cuando la consulta no termina como resultado exitoso. |

Si una consulta valida no tiene resultados, el Actor guarda una fila con `status: no_results` para que el dataset sea auditable.
