Instructions
Colombia RUES Company Registry Scraper. Search the official Colombian RUES register by company name, NIT or matricula. Returns company and non-profit (RM and ESAL) identity, chamber of commerce, legal form and registration status. A verified "not found in the register" is a real answer. Advanced fields beyond this schema are also accepted (regdata_describe lists them).
Input Schema
TableJSON Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| nits | No | One or more Colombian NITs, each looked up separately. Accepts any format: '890.903.938-8', '890903938-8' or '890903938'. The verification (check) digit is optional and is not used for matching. A NIT lookup returns the entity and its registered branches across chambers of commerce. | |
| maxItems | No | Optional cap on billed dataset items returned. | |
| register | No | Which register to search. 'Registro Mercantil' covers companies and business establishments. 'ESAL' covers non-profit entities - foundations, associations and NGOs. A single run searches one register; run twice to cover both. | RM |
| matriculas | No | One or more matrícula (mercantile registration) numbers, each looked up separately. | |
| companyNames | No | One or more names to search, each looked up separately. Matching is the register's own name search (minimum 2 characters). Broad terms hit the register's 500-result ceiling - see Max results per query. | |
| statusFilter | No | Keep only entities in these registry statuses. Leave empty to export every match, which is the safer default for screening - a CANCELADA (cancelled) counterparty is usually the finding you most want to see, not one to filter away. | |
| maxResultsPerQuery | No | Maximum records to export per query. The register itself returns at most 500 matches and provides no pagination, so 500 is the ceiling here too. To reach matches beyond it, narrow the name or search by NIT or matrícula. |
