Business verification¶

While all Zyte API features are available to every customer, the following features are disabled by default:

Unless you are on a free trial, you can enable these features by completing our business verification: a short form about your organization and how you intend to use the data you collect.

Tip

If you are on an Enterprise plan, you have already completed business verification.

Until your application is approved, the disabled features remain unavailable, and requests that rely on them fail. For example, if you connect a Playwright or Puppeteer script to the CDP headless browser before completing business verification, the connection is refused with an HTTP 403 status. See Errors for details. Once your application is approved, the same script works without any changes.

Starting your application¶

You complete the form in the Zyte dashboard. When you try to use a feature that requires business verification, such as the CDP headless browser, the dashboard prompts you to fill it in.

What the form asks¶

The form collects your organization’s registration details, along with a few questions about how you intend to use the data you collect.

Field	Notes
Legal name	Your organization’s registered legal name.
Company registration number
Country of registration	And state, if registered in the US.
Use case	What you intend to use Zyte API for, chosen from a list of options.
Do you need to log into any websites to collect data?	If yes, list the websites.
Do you plan to collect any personal data?	If yes, describe it and where the affected individuals are located.
Will you be directly republishing or reselling the data you collect?	If yes, provide details.
Do you plan to collect images, articles, videos, or music files?	If yes, provide details.
Do you plan to use the data for AI training?	If yes, provide details.

After you submit¶

Many applications are approved automatically, unlocking the disabled features straight away. Depending on your answers, some are reviewed by our legal team first. Either way, we email you when you submit your application, and again once a decision is made.

While an application is under review, the disabled features stay disabled. You can submit the form only once: afterwards it is locked, whether it is approved or declined.
