New Business Filings API — Fresh LLC Registrations by State
The New Business Filings actor is an API that pulls newly registered LLCs and corporations straight from official state open-data portals — Colorado, New York, Connecticut, Oregon, Pennsylvania and Delaware — and returns one clean, normalized record per filing, with formation-mill filings flagged.
Capabilities
What it does
Primary-source freshness
The same public-record data list brokers resell — at the source, on your schedule. Every new entity needs banking, insurance, bookkeeping, a website, payroll and phones, and on day one it has none of them.
Formation-mill noise removed
Filings made through Registered Agents Inc, Northwest, CSC, LegalZoom, ZenBusiness and the like list the agent's office as the address. Those are auto-flagged agent_is_commercial and their addresses blanked, so your outreach lists aren't polluted with 5,000 “businesses” at 30 N Gould St.
One schema across states
Entity name, state, filing date, entity type, status, registered agent, address, and a link to the official source record — identical fields for every covered state.
Business data only
Entity, filing, status and registered-agent information. No officer home addresses, no personal data.

Questions
Frequently asked
Which states are covered?
Colorado, New York, Connecticut, Oregon, Pennsylvania and Delaware — each from its official state open-data feed. Coverage details differ by state (e.g. NY doesn't publish agent names; Oregon rolls monthly) and are documented honestly per state.
How fresh are the leads?
As fresh as the state publishes: Colorado and Connecticut update daily; New York publishes a daily filings feed; Oregon rolls monthly. Run daily with daysBack: 1–7 for a continuous feed.
What is the formation-mill flag?
Commercial registered agents (LegalZoom, ZenBusiness, Northwest, CSC, …) file thousands of entities at their own office address. Those records are flagged agent_is_commercial: true and the useless office address is blanked by default.
Is this personal data?
No — business-context records only: entity, filing, status and registered-agent business information. No officer home addresses, no consumer data.
