## 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

## EU Company Intelligence (MCP)

### What does EU Company Intelligence do?

Pass an EU company name or registration number and get back a structured company card from the best-available registry: **UK Companies House** (most coverage, requires free PAT), **Belgium KBO** (HTML scrape), or **Wikidata SPARQL** (universal fallback for all EU countries). Returns identity, directors, status, address, NACE/SIC codes, and incorporation date in a single MCP-friendly schema.

> Free baseline (Wikidata, BE KBO scrape). UK PAT is free + instant signup at `developer.company-information.service.gov.uk` and unlocks rich UK data. For French companies use `fr-company-intelligence-mcp` (the dedicated FR actor).

### Why use it from an AI agent?

- **Multi-source routing** - the actor picks the right registry based on input shape (UK CH number, KBO number, or free-text name).
- **Wikidata fallback** - no dedicated connector exists for DE / IT / ES / NL / IE / AT registries (all gated behind paid APIs), so Wikidata serves as universal coverage.
- **One schema** - all registries normalize to the same `EuCompanyCard` shape, so the agent doesn't branch on country.
- **Tight payload** - identity + directors + address in one call, no nested registry-specific JSON.

### Modes & routing

There's no explicit mode field - the actor auto-routes based on input:

| Input shape | Country hint | Path |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 8-digit / SC123456 / NI123456 | `UK` or auto | UK Companies House direct lookup |
| 10-digit (`0859039965`, `0859.039.965`) | `BE` or auto | Belgium KBO direct lookup |
| Free-text name | `UK` | UK Companies House search |
| Free-text name | `BE` | Wikidata (KBO public form name search is unreliable) |
| Free-text name | empty (auto) | UK CH if PAT present, else Wikidata |
| Free-text name | `DE`/`IT`/`ES`/`NL`/`IE`/`AT` | Wikidata SPARQL |

### Examples

```json
{ "query": "06989966" }
```

UK CH direct number lookup.

```json
{ "query": "Revolut", "country": "UK" }
```

UK CH search by name (requires PAT).

```json
{ "query": "0859.039.965", "country": "BE" }
```

Belgium KBO direct lookup.

```json
{ "query": "BMW AG", "country": "DE" }
```

Wikidata fallback for Germany.

### Output schema

```json
{
    "meta": {
        "query": "Revolut",
        "country": "UK",
        "scrapedAt": "2026-05-08T15:00:00Z",
        "source": "uk_companies_house"
    },
    "card": {
        "name": "REVOLUT LTD",
        "officialName": "REVOLUT LTD",
        "registrationNumber": "08804411",
        "legalForm": "private-limited",

        "directorsCount": 1,
        "website": null,
        "isin": null,
        "description": null,
        "industry": null,
        "source": "uk_companies_house",
        "sourceUrl": "https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/08804411",
        "wikidataUrl": null
    }
}
```

### UK Companies House PAT

Free, immediate signup at `https://developer.company-information.service.gov.uk/`. No special scopes required - any read PAT works for public company data.

Two ways to provide it:

1. Per-call via `ukCompaniesHouseToken` input (encrypted by Apify).
2. Operator-scoped via `UK_COMPANIES_HOUSE_TOKEN` env var.

Without a PAT the actor still works for non-UK queries via Wikidata + KBO.

### Pricing (PPE)

| Mode | Price per call |
| --- | --- |
| All paths | $0.001 actor start + $0.005 EU company card = **$0.006/call** |

### Coverage by country (v0.1)

| Country | Path | Quality |
| --- | --- | --- |
| UK | UK Companies House (free, PAT-gated) | Excellent (full directors, filings, history) |
| BE | KBO HTML scrape | Good (identity + status + NACE) |
| DE | Wikidata | Identity-level (name, founded, HQ, industry) |
| IT | Wikidata | Identity-level |
| ES | Wikidata | Identity-level |
| NL | Wikidata (KvK gated) | Identity-level |
| IE | Wikidata (CRO paid) | Identity-level |
| AT | Wikidata | Identity-level |
| FR | **Use fr-company-intelligence-mcp instead** | n/a |

### Limits

- **Wikidata** only has data for companies notable enough to be on Wikipedia/Wikidata (~30k EU companies). For SMBs and recent startups outside UK/BE, expect `not_found`.
- **Belgium KBO scrape** is HTML-based; if KBO changes their template the parser breaks until updated.
- **UK Companies House PAT** rate-limit: 600 requests per 5 minutes. Reasonable for agent loops.
- **No FR coverage** - delegate to the dedicated `fr-company-intelligence-mcp` actor.

### Pairs naturally with

- `fr-company-intelligence-mcp` for French companies (covers what this actor doesn't)
- `web-company-intelligence-mcp` for web fingerprint / tech stack on the same company's domain
- `domain-intelligence-mcp` for domain registration data

### Sources, freshness, legality

- **UK Companies House** - official UK government registry, public open data API.
- **Wikidata** - Wikimedia's open knowledge base, CC0 licensed.
- **KBO** - Belgian official enterprise registry, public consultation portal.
- All data exposed is publicly available regulatory information. No personal data beyond what's already published in the public registers.

# Actor input Schema

## `query` (type: `string`):

Free-text company name (e.g. 'Stripe Payments UK'), UK Companies House number ('06989966'), or BE KBO/CBE number ('0859.039.965' or '0859039965').

## `country` (type: `string`):

Constrain the lookup to a specific country. Empty = best-effort across all sources.

## `ukCompaniesHouseToken` (type: `string`):

Optional. Free at https://developer.company-information.service.gov.uk/. Lifts rate limit from 600/5min to higher. Without it, UK lookup still works at lower rate.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "query": "Revolut",
  "country": ""
