## 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

## Korea Company Data — OpenDART 🇰🇷

🎉 Turn Korean OpenDART into clean, structured company data — no login, no API key, one row per entity, with the corporate registration number, status, industry, address and listing details.
Built for B2B sales, lead generation, KYB / compliance and market-research teams.

### 🔍 What is the Korea Company Data — and when should you use it?

Give this actor company names or Korean corporate registration numbers and it returns matching companies from the Korean OpenDART corporate disclosure registry — as clean, deduplicated rows you can filter, export or feed to an AI agent. Every run queries the source live, so the data is as fresh as the registry itself.

**Use it when you need:** a Korea company list for outreach; formation / status monitoring; or a canonical registry record for KYB and due diligence.

**Use something else when:** you need firmographics the registry doesn’t hold (revenue, headcount, website, email) — pair this with an enrichment actor from [Fox Labs](https://apify.com/foxlabs).

### 🤖 Use with AI agents

**Already on the Apify MCP server?** Ask for this Actor by name: `foxlabs/korean-company-data`.

**Your agent can pay for its own runs.** This Actor is pay-per-event with agentic payments, so an agent can discover it, run it and settle the bill over **x402 (USDC on Base)** or **Skyfire** — no Apify account or API token of its own. Billing is the same either way: per delivered record, never for errors.

Otherwise paste this into Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any MCP-enabled assistant:

```
I want to pull Korea company records using the Apify Actor `foxlabs/korean-company-data`.
Input: `queries` is a list of company names or Korean corporate registration numbers. `maxResultsPerQuery` caps rows per query.
Start with: {"queries":["undefined"],"maxResultsPerQuery":50}
Ask me what to look up, run the Actor, then summarise the rows as a table.
```

The machine-readable API, MCP config and OpenAPI definition live at `apify.com/foxlabs/korean-company-data.md`.

### 📋 Overview

Everything you need to turn the Korean OpenDART corporate disclosure registry into clean, structured data — in one actor, with no login, cookies or API key.

**Why teams pick this actor:**

- ✅ **Whole registry, one call** — name or ID in, matching companies out.
- 🧹 **No empty-promise columns** — only fields this registry actually fills; degenerate columns are removed.
- 🔗 **Stable identifiers** — every row carries the source's own IDs, ready to join across runs and to other Fox Labs actors.
- 💰 **Pay only for results** — per-row pricing, empty/failed lookups never billed.
- 🤖 **Agent-ready** — MCP + x402 agentic payments.

### ✨ Features

- 🔍 **Name or ID lookup** — relevance-ranked name search or exact registry-ID lookup.
- 🏢 **Full entity profile** — status, legal form, formation date, address and the registry’s own contact fields.
- 🧹 **Clean schema** — deduplicated camelCase rows, ready for CSV/Excel/JSON.

### 🎬 Quick Start

```bash
curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/foxlabs~korean-company-data/runs?token=YOUR_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"queries":["undefined"],"maxResultsPerQuery":50}'
```

### 🚀 Getting Started (3 steps)

1. **Choose your targets** — company names or Korean corporate registration numbers.
2. **Set the cap** — `maxResultsPerQuery` limits rows per query.
3. **Run and export** — get a clean dataset as JSON, CSV or Excel.

### 📥 Input

```json
{"queries":["undefined"],"maxResultsPerQuery":50}
```

| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `queries` | array | Company names or Korean corporate registration numbers. |
| `maxResultsPerQuery` | integer | Caps rows per query. |
| `maxConcurrency` | integer | How many queries to fetch at once. |
| `includeRaw` | boolean | Attach the source’s untouched record under `raw`. |

### 📤 Output

One row per company, saved to the dataset. Every row also carries `query`, `scrapedAt`, and — when a lookup fails — an `error` explaining why (never silently dropped, never billed).

### 💼 Use cases

**1. Korea B2B lead lists** — Korean companies by name or industry.
*Input:* name searches. *Output:* entities + industry + address. *Use:* a ready list.

**2. Firmographic enrichment** — attach industry and listing details to a company.
*Input:* registration numbers. *Output:* the OpenDART record. *Use:* enrich a CRM.

### 🔗 Integration

**JavaScript / Node.js**

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';
const client = new ApifyClient({ token: 'YOUR_TOKEN' });
const run = await client.actor('foxlabs/korean-company-data').call({"queries":["undefined"],"maxResultsPerQuery":50});
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(items[0]);
```

**Python**

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient
client = ApifyClient('YOUR_TOKEN')
run = client.actor('foxlabs/korean-company-data').call(run_input={"queries":["undefined"],"maxResultsPerQuery":50})
for item in client.dataset(run['defaultDatasetId']).iterate_items():
    print(item)
```

**Automation (n8n / Zapier / Make):** schedule or webhook → HTTP request to the actor API with your `queries` → handle the JSON dataset → push to a sheet, CRM or dashboard.

### 📊 Pricing

Pay-per-event: **per delivered record**. Empty or failed lookups are never billed. [View current pricing.](https://apify.com/foxlabs/korean-company-data)

### ❓ FAQ

**Do I need an account, login or API key?** No. This reads the Korean OpenDART corporate disclosure registry.

**What do I search by?** Company names or Korean corporate registration numbers.

**How current is the data?** Every run queries the source live, so results are as fresh as the registry.

**Why are firmographics like revenue or website missing?** A public business registry doesn’t hold them; we don’t ship empty columns. Pair with an enrichment actor from Fox Labs.

**Can I export to CSV / Excel / JSON?** Yes — directly from the Apify dataset.

### 🐛 Troubleshooting

- **Fewer rows than expected** — raise `maxResultsPerQuery`, or refine the name.
- **A name returns an unexpected entity** — it matched a similar registered name; search the exact registry ID.
- **No rows for a name** — try the entity’s exact legal name or its registry ID.

### ⚖️ Is it legal to scrape this data?

This actor reads a public government business registry published as open data. Results can still contain personal data (e.g. a registered agent’s name); personal data is protected by the GDPR and similar laws, so only process it with a legitimate basis. See Apify’s blog post on the legality of web scraping.

#### 0.1 — 2026-09-07

- **Enabled AI-agent payments (x402) + rebuilt the README to the full standard** (What-is / when, AI-agents + x402 agentic payments + MCP, Overview, Features, Use cases, Integration, FAQ, Troubleshooting, Support & contact).

#### 0.0

- Initial release: data from the Korean OpenDART corporate disclosure registry by name or registry ID.

# Actor input Schema

## `stockCodes` (type: `array`):

6-digit Korea Exchange ticker codes — one per line (e.g. 005930 = Samsung Electronics, 000660 = SK hynix). Auto-resolved to a DART corp code.

## `corp_codes` (type: `array`):

8-digit DART internal corporate codes — the fastest, exact lookup (e.g. 00126380 = Samsung Electronics).

## `companyNames` (type: `array`):

Korean or English company names — one per line. Resolved against the 118K DART index; ambiguous names use the first match, so prefer stock or corp codes for precision.

## `industryCode` (type: `string`):

Optional. Scan LISTED (KOSPI/KOSDAQ) companies and keep those whose KSIC industry code starts with this sector prefix. API-intensive and slower — pair it with Max companies. Leave as 'none' to look up by code/name instead.

## `includeFinancials` (type: `boolean`):

Attach the most recent ANNUAL IFRS statements (balance sheet + income statement, 3-year, consolidated CFS + separate OFS). Adds one API call per company.

## `maxExecutivesPerCompany` (type: `integer`):

Cap the executive list per company (registered directors first, then by shares held). 0 = return all.

## `outputLanguage` (type: `string`):

How names, addresses and titles are presented. 'Both' keeps Korean and adds Romanized/English. 'English' makes Romanized/English primary and moves Korean to \*\_ko fields.

## `maxResults` (type: `integer`):

Hard cap on the number of company records returned. 0 = unlimited.

## `maxConcurrency` (type: `integer`):

Number of parallel OpenDART fetches. Higher = faster but more likely to hit rate limits (auto-retried). Default 5.

## `crtfc_key` (type: `string`):

Optional. Your own free OpenDART key (opendart.fss.or.kr) for higher rate limits. Leave blank to use the built-in shared key.
