🎯 Why Use This Actor?

In the DACH region, every commercial website is strictly required by federal law to publish an official imprint (Impressum) containing authoritative corporate governance data. However, scraping this data at scale is notoriously difficult:

• Navigation Inconsistencies: Imprint links are labeled in German (Impressum, Anbieterkennzeichnung, Rechtliches, Pflichtangaben, Kontakt & Rechtliches) or buried in nested footers.
• Aggressive E-Mail Obfuscation: To prevent spam, European businesses disguise email addresses using patterns like info(at)firma.de, contact [at] company [dot] com, @, or dynamic inline JS.
• SPA & Script Clutter: Naive DOM parsers choke on Next.js/Nuxt image assets (image@2x.png), GTM scripts, or misidentify supervisory boards (Aufsichtsrat) as executive directors.
• Register & Formatting Nuances: Amtsgericht names and HRB numbers appear in bidirectional orders ("Amtsgericht Köln, HRB 104617" vs. "HRB 48720, Local Court Mainz"), while VAT IDs contain random grouping spaces ("DE 81 36 17 001").

This Actor solves it completely:

• ⚡ Zero-Playwright High-Speed Engine: Powered by asynchronous httpx and lxml. Starts in milliseconds and crawls up to 20 domains concurrently without browser overhead.
• 💰 Transparent Pay-Per-Event (PPE) Pricing: Pay only $0.005 USD per successfully enriched domain ($5.00 per 1,000 domains). Unreachable sites, DNS errors, or empty results are never charged.
• 🛡️ Advanced Email De-Obfuscation: Decodes entity-escaped and obfuscated emails while filtering image paths (@2x.png), CSS/JS artifacts, and Sentry/Wix trackers.
• 🏛️ 100% Commercial Register KYB Compatibility: Seamlessly outputs standardized register_court, register_type, and register_number ready for automated handoff to our German Company KYB Actor #2!
• 🤖 Make.com, Zapier & n8n Ready: Built-in single-URL parameter (url) alongside batch lists (domains) makes it a drop-in enrichment tool for your CRM and webhook workflows.
