Company Enrichment & Research

Enrich messy CRM leads with structured company data pulled from public web sources. Feed in whatever you have -- a company name, domain, VAT number, or just a freeform query -- and get back a clean profile with website metadata, contact details, social links, SSL signals, and Wayback Machine history. Built for reliable enrichment pipelines that avoid brittle anti-bot sources.

Features

• Flexible input — accepts any combination of company name, domain, website URL, VAT number, or freeform query
• Website intelligence — extracts page title, meta description, organization name, logo, and technology signals
• Contact discovery — finds emails, phone numbers, and social media links (LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube)
• EU VAT validation — verifies VAT numbers against the official VIES service and returns registered name and address
• SSL certificate signals — checks certificate expiry, issuer, and subject CN for trust assessment
• Wayback Machine history — retrieves earliest/latest snapshots and total snapshot count to gauge domain age
• Evidence trail — every data point includes its source URL so you can verify findings
• Bulk processing — enrich hundreds of companies in a single run with configurable concurrency

Notes

• This actor uses only reliable public sources (website HTML, VIES, SSL, Wayback Machine) and avoids brittle anti-bot targets for maximum reliability.
• VAT validation requires both countryCode (2-letter EU code) and vatNumber (without country prefix).
• The includeWebsiteText option can significantly increase output size -- enable it only when you need full-text analysis.
