## 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.

### Who is it for

| Use case | Who benefits |

### Frequently Asked Questions

**Which taxpayers does this cover?**\
It covers any taxpayer registered with Ecuador's SRI, including both companies (sociedades) and natural persons (personas naturales), active or inactive. You look them up by their 13-digit RUC number.

**How many records can I get in one run?**\
You get one record per RUC you supply, and you can supply as many as you like. A single large company can also expand into hundreds of establishments, since some chains register hundreds of branches across the country.

**What happens if a RUC does not exist?**\
The scraper returns a clear record with an error note saying the RUC was not found in the SRI registry, so a missing match is itself a usable signal rather than a silent gap.

**Can I get a company's branches and addresses?**\
Yes. Turn on Include Establishments and each record gains an establishments array listing every matriz and sucursal with its commercial name, full address, status and head-office flag.

**Do I need a proxy to run this?**\
No. Runs work out of the box with no setup. An optional Ecuador residential proxy toggle is available only if you ever need it.

### 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).

# Actor input Schema

## `maxRecords` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of taxpayer records to collect across all RUC numbers. Optional.

## `rucs` (type: `array`):

Ecuadorian RUC tax-IDs (13 digits) to look up in the SRI taxpayer registry. One record is produced per RUC: company or natural-person legal name, status, economic activity, taxpayer type, regime, key dates and the registered establishments. Add one or more.

## `includeEstablishments` (type: `boolean`):

When enabled, the scraper also fetches every registered establishment (matriz and sucursales) for each taxpayer, including the establishment number, commercial name, full address, status and head-office flag.

## `useProxy` (type: `boolean`):

Route requests through an Apify residential proxy located in Ecuador. Enable this only if the SRI host starts blocking the run; direct datacenter requests normally work.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "maxRecords": 10,
  "rucs": [
    "1790016919001"
  ],
  "includeEstablishments": true,
