📊 Look up Brazilian company data by CNPJ with forms and Minha Receita API
⚡ 18 views · 📊 Market Research & Insights
Description
Quick overview
This workflow hosts an n8n form that accepts a Brazilian CNPJ, validates and normalizes the input, then queries the public Minha Receita API to fetch company registration details and displays either a formatted results page or an error page with a link back to the form.
How it works
- Receives a CNPJ through an n8n form submission.
- Sets the base URL for the Minha Receita API and the redirect URL used by the “Search Again” button.
- Removes punctuation from the CNPJ and validates that it contains exactly 14 digits.
- Requests company data from the Minha Receita API endpoint for the cleaned CNPJ.
- Displays a results form with key company fields (for example, status, CNAE, partners, and address) when the API returns data.
- Displays an error form when the CNPJ format is invalid or the API request fails, then redirects back to the input form.
Setup
- Activate the workflow and copy the Production URL from the form trigger.
- Paste that URL into the Set URL step (replace
REPLACE_WITH_PRODUCTION_FORM_URL) so completion pages can redirect users back to the search form. - Ensure outbound HTTP access to
https://minhareceita.org/from your n8n instance, since the workflow relies on the public Minha Receita API and uses no credentials.
