How it works
The actor calls the Companies Office JSON search API for each query, then fetches the HTML detail page for each matching company to extract directors, shareholders, and full address data. No authentication or proxy required — the register is fully public.
Use cases
- KYC (Know Your Customer) / supplier verification
- Corporate research and due diligence
- Director and shareholder network analysis
- Enriching company datasets with official NZ register data
- Finding all subsidiaries of a holding company
Rate limits
The New Zealand Companies Office is a public government service. This actor paces requests politely (300 ms between detail page fetches) to avoid overloading the service. For large-scale bulk lookups, set maxItems to a reasonable limit per run.
