New: Taiwan MOEA Company Registry (GCIS) — Taiwan corporate lookup by 統一編號 as clean JSON

What it does

This actor pulls Taiwan corporate registry records from the MOEA Department of Commerce Government Company Information System (GCIS), the statutory registry under Company Act §393. It talks directly to the open-data OData endpoint — no consumer-portal scraping, no Cloudflare, no captcha, no API key — and returns each company's unified business number (統一編號), name, capital, registration date, status, address, and full MOEA industry-code list as clean JSON.

Who it's for

KYC / AML / KYB onboarding teams, M&A; and supplier due-diligence analysts, APAC compliance and sanctions screeners, and journalists or data teams who need to verify or enrich Taiwan entities at scale.

Sample fields / output

unified_business_number — 8-digit 統一編號 — Taiwan unified business number
company_name_tc — full registered name in Traditional Chinese
company_name_en — English / romanized name where available
registration_date — incorporation date (ROC year auto-converted to ISO)
status / status_code — normalized active / dissolved / other plus raw MOEA code
industry_codes — array of MOEA business-item codes with Chinese descriptions
capital_TWD / capital_paid_in_TWD — authorized and paid-in capital when GCIS surfaces it

Example use cases

KYB onboarding — verify a Taiwan counterparty's legal name, status, and capital before signing.
M&A; and supplier due diligence on Taiwanese entities without portal captchas.
Entity resolution — map 統一編號 to canonical names when enriching APAC datasets.

Can I use the data commercially?

Yes. The endpoint is published under the Taiwan Open Government Data License v1 (a CC BY 4.0 equivalent), which permits commercial reuse with attribution.
