Input
| Setting | Type | Required | Default | What it does |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| mode | string | Yes | byName | What to fetch. |
| businessNames | array | No | ["Amazon"] | One or more names (mode=byName, availability). Name search is a prefix match: 'Amazon' finds names starting with Amazon, and a leading 'The' is ignored. Availability checks need a base name without a designator (no LLC, Inc., Corp., etc.) and at least 4 effective characters. Up to 50 names. |
| keywordSearches | array | No | [] | One or more keyword phrases (mode=byKeyword). Each phrase is split into words, and every word must appear in the business name; up to 5 words per phrase and 20 phrases. |
| entityIds | array | No | [] | Exact 10-digit New Jersey entity IDs (mode=byEntityId, documents). Invalid IDs are reported in the run status instead of being dropped silently. Up to 200 IDs. |
| linkType | string | No | principal | Which free Business Records Service search to use (mode=byLinkedName). |
| linkedName | string | No | – | Last name, business name, registered-agent name, or previous/alternate name to search (mode=byLinkedName). |
| linkedFirstName | string | No | – | Optional first name when linkType=principal (mode=byLinkedName). |
| linkedMiddleName | string | No | – | Optional middle name when linkType=principal (mode=byLinkedName). |
| linkedCity | string | No | – | Optional city filter for principal or registered-agent searches (mode=byLinkedName). |
| entityTypes | array | No | [] | Keep only these New Jersey entity types. Empty means no filter. Filters run on every page, not only after the 500-row display cap. |

The same run through the Apify API, with the example input. You need an Apify API token; the run is billed to your account at the Store price.
Python
from apify_client import ApifyClient
client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>")
run_input = {
"mode": "byName",
"businessNames": [
"Amazon"
],
"keywordSearches": [],

if run is None:
raise RuntimeError("The Actor run was not found.")
for item in client.dataset(run.default_dataset_id).iterate_items():
print(item) pip install apify-client
JavaScript
import { ApifyClient } from "apify-client";
const client = new ApifyClient({ token: "<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>" });

} Adds this Actor as a tool in an MCP client that takes a remote server URL (Cursor, VS Code, Claude Code) through Apify's hosted MCP server. OAuth sign-in also works without the header. Clients that only start local servers can wrap the URL with npx mcp-remote.
What a run costs
The result rate falls on higher Apify plans. Each figure is the published per-result rate times the number of results.
| Apify plan | Per 1,000 | 10,000 results | 100,000 results |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free plan | $0.99 | $9.90 | $99 |
| Starter plan | $0.82 | $8.20 | $82 |
| Scale plan | $0.66 | $6.60 | $66 |
| Business plan | $0.49 | $4.90 | $49 |
- Every run also has a start event, charged per GB of memory (minimum one): $0.10 on Free, $0.03 on Business. At its default memory of 4 GB a run starts at $0.40 on Free. Fewer, larger runs keep this small.
- The Free plan includes $5 of monthly usage (Apify pricing, checked 2026-11-11); at the Free rate that covers at most about 5,050 results, less start events and platform usage.
- Worked example: 10,000 results in one run on the Free plan cost $10.30 ($9.90 for results + $0.40 start), plus Apify platform usage (compute), billed separately by Apify.
- Pay per event. Platform usage (compute) is billed by Apify on top of the event prices. Compare other tools in the cost estimator.
