## 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

## Iceland Company Registry Scraper (Kennitala, VAT, Directors)

> Look up any Icelandic company by name or kennitala and get a clean, structured record: registration ID, legal form, registered and postal address, municipality, ISAT activity, VAT (VSK) number, directors, ultimate beneficial owners (with ownership share and citizenship) and the full annual-accounts filing history. Export to JSON, CSV or Excel for KYB, lead generation and due diligence.

### Who is it for

| Use case | Who benefits |
|---|---|
| KYB and onboarding | Compliance and fintech teams verifying Icelandic counterparties |
| Due diligence | Analysts checking legal form, status, VAT and directors |
| Lead generation | Sales teams building lists of active companies by activity |
| Data enrichment | Teams appending kennitala, VAT and addresses to their CRM |

### How to use it

1. Add one or more **company names** to search (for example `Marel`, `Icelandair`), one or more **kennitala numbers** to fetch directly, or both.
2. Set **Max Companies** to cap how many records you collect.
3. Run it. Export the results as JSON, CSV or Excel, or pull them through the Apify API.

### Frequently Asked Questions

**What is a kennitala?**
A kennitala is the official Icelandic ID number for a company (or a person). For companies it uniquely identifies the entity in the national register. You can pass it with or without the hyphen.

**Can I search by name instead of ID?**
Yes. Provide one or more company names and every match is expanded into a full record. You can mix name searches and direct kennitala lookups in the same run.

**Does it return VAT numbers and directors?**
Yes, when they are publicly listed. Active companies typically include the VAT (VSK) number, ISAT activity, addresses and directors. Inactive or deregistered entities may show fewer fields.

**Do I get beneficial owners?**
Yes, when they are on file. Each record includes the registered ultimate beneficial owners with their ownership share, ownership type, residence country and citizenship, plus the company's annual-accounts filing history by year, so you can run deeper KYB and AML checks in one pass.

**How fresh is the data?**
Every record is read live at run time, so it reflects the register at the moment of the run (see observedAt).

### Export, API and AI agents (x402 + MCP)

Export the scraped data to **JSON, CSV or Excel**, pull it as a **dataset** through the Apify **API**, or wire it into your app with **no code**. This web scraper and data extractor also works for bulk data extraction and scheduled runs.

For AI agents: this Actor is available on **x402**, Apify's agentic payment standard built with Coinbase. An AI agent can discover, pay for and run it on its own with a funded wallet and a single HTTP request: no account, no subscription, no API key and no human in the loop. It also runs as an **MCP** tool inside Claude, Cursor and other AI clients out of the box. Learn more about [x402 agentic payments on Apify](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/x402).
