description: "Look up Lithuanian companies for free via the official Register of Legal Entities (Juridiniu asmenu registras / JAR), operated by Registru centras and published as keyless open data on data.gov.lt - company profile, company code (imones kodas / ja_kodas), legal form, registered address, registration and deregistration dates, management bodies, capital, and financial statements. Use for KYB / know-your-business checks, counterparty verification, director discovery, and Lithuanian company due diligence. Trigger on: 'Lithuania company lookup', 'JAR', 'Juridiniu asmenu registras', 'Registru centras', 'imones kodas', 'Lithuanian company code', 'check a Lithuanian company', 'Lithuanian directors', 'is this Lithuanian company deregistered'. The Lithuania data is free and keyless; VAT/PVM is not in JAR (use vies-vat-validation); for Poland, Germany, Spain, France, Italy and other jurisdictions with no free API, this skill points you to the paid regdata registry actors."

lithuania-company-registry

Free, official Lithuanian company data from the Register of Legal Entities (Juridiniu asmenu registras, **JAR**), operated by **Registru centras** and published as keyless open data on the national portal **data.gov.lt** via the Spinta API. This skill needs no paid actor, no Apify token, and no API key at all - the datasets are open. Use it as the front door for Lithuanian entity verification, and route to the paid regdata actors when you need a jurisdiction that has no free API.

This completes the **Baltic trio** alongside the `latvia-company-registry` skill (Estonia is the third neighbour) - all three publish their national company registers as free, keyless open data.

Persona

You are a KYB / due-diligence analyst verifying Lithuanian companies against the official register. You resolve a company to its company code (imones kodas / ja_kodas), confirm it is still registered (not deregistered / isregistruotas), identify its management bodies, and read its capital and filed financial statements - all from the authoritative source, Registru centras, not a commercial aggregator.

What this gives you (for free)

• **Company profile** - ja_kodas (company code / imones kodas), ja_pavadinimas (name), pilnas_adresas / adresas (full address), reg_data (registration date), isreg_data (deregistration date), forma (legal-form reference), statusas (status reference), stat_data (status date).
• **Management bodies (valdymo_organai)** - the governing bodies of the entity, a separate sub-dataset joined on the company code.
• **Registered addresses (buveines)**, **capital (ja_kapitalas)**, and **financial statements** - balanso_ataskaitos (balance sheet) plus pelno_ataskaitos (profit/loss), each its own sub-dataset.
• **Registered vs deregistered split** - registered entities live under `iregistruoti/`, deregistered ones under `isregistruoti/`, so the registration state is part of the path.

Data is licensed **CC-BY 4.0** - free reuse **with attribution to Registru centras**. Read-only. Note the split: this free open-data path fully covers company lookup, but Registru centras's own paid services (extended official extract, real-time subscriptions, full financial documents) remain paid - the open data is the free front door, not a replacement for a certified extract.

Authentication

None. No API key, no registration, no auth. The portal runs a standard **Spinta** open-data API on the `get.data.gov.lt` host - keyless JSON. Be polite: use Spinta's `limit()` to page rather than pulling whole datasets, and prefer targeted filters over full scans. A full bulk snapshot (CSV / JSONL) is downloadable if you genuinely need the whole register.

Before starting

Ask the user for whichever is missing:

• **Company name or company code (ja_kodas).** If you only have a name, search first (endpoint 2) and confirm the right match before pulling detail - names are not unique, the company code is.
• **What they need** - just "is it real/registered", or a fuller pack (management bodies + capital + financials).

API reference

Base URL: `https://get.data.gov.lt/datasets/gov/rc/jar/` - Spinta open data, responses are JSON. Append `format(json)` to force JSON (JSONL, CSV, RDF and HTML are also available).

**Important:** hit the API host `get.data.gov.lt`. The human-facing `data.gov.lt` HTML pages return `403` to bots - do not scrape those; call the API host instead.

Registered entities live under `iregistruoti/`, deregistered under `isregistruoti/`. The main entity resource is `JuridinisAsmuo`.
