Chilean Business Lookup (RUT Scraper)

Scrapes official Chilean business data from BoletaOFactua.com. Search by company name to retrieve legal details like RUT, business type, and economic activities in structured JSON.

Overview

This actor automates the extraction of public company data from the Chilean registry. It's designed for developers needing to programmatically validate or enrich records with official RUT numbers and legal classifications. Data is returned as parsed JSON, suitable for integration into databases, CRMs, or compliance systems.

Key Features

• Search by Name: Input company names (full or partial) to fetch complete business profiles.
• Structured Data: Outputs parsed details including RUT, legal name (razón social), business type/subtype, and a list of economic activities with official SII codes.
• Built for Reliability: Uses concurrent requests with Chilean residential proxies and automatic retries for robust performance.
• Audit Ready: Each result includes an extraction_datetime timestamp.
• Free Tier: Test with up to 10 results on a free Apify account.

How to Use

Configure the actor run with a JSON input object.

Input

The actor requires an input object with the following fields:

Example Input:

{
  "search_terms": ["Falabella", "Banco de Chile", "Codelco"],
  "max_results": 10
}

Tips:
* Use complete legal names (e.g., "Falabella S.A.") for precise matches.
* Partial names also work (e.g., "Banco" returns all related results).
* Free accounts process only the first term in search_terms, limited to 10 total results.
