Bundesanzeiger Germany Scraper

What does Bundesanzeiger Germany Scraper do?

Bundesanzeiger Germany Scraper extracts structured company publication data from bundesanzeiger.de: the entity name and city, the publication area, title and date, the fiscal year period, and exempt subsidiaries — including the full publication text where it is publicly readable. It supports keyword search and controllable result limits, so you can run the same query consistently over time. The actor also offers detail enrichment (extra per-record fields the search results omit).

Key features

• 🔍 Keyword search: search bundesanzeiger.de by keyword with the query input.
• 🔗 Paste-mode: paste bundesanzeiger.de URLs into startUrls to scrape exactly the pages you picked in the browser.
• 📰 One row per gazette publication: each record names the filing company (entity_name / entityName), its seat (entity_city / entityCity), the Bundesanzeiger area (publication_area / publicationArea), the title (publication_title / publicationTitle), the notice line (publicationInfo) and the ISO date (publication_date / publicationDate). Narrow a search to one area with area (echoed as areaFilter); with details on you also get the report as fullText and document_excerpt / documentExcerpt, with contentKind (plain text, ESEF filing or access-protected) and contentGated for documents the site did not release. Each row links to its search via document_url / documentUrl and is stamped scraped_at.
• 📊 Annual-report figures and fiscal year: the reporting period lands in fiscalYearStart and fiscalYearEnd (also fiscal_year_end), and group annual reports list the subsidiaries exempted under §§ 264(3) / 264b HGB in exemptSubsidiaries. Turn on extractFinancials to get revenue (Umsatzerlöse), total_assets (Bilanzsumme), total_equity (Eigenkapital), net_income (Jahresüberschuss/-fehlbetrag) and employee_count as numbers; a figure stays null when the report does not state it plainly.
• 📋 Detail enrichment: toggle two-stage scraping: first collect listings, then enrich each with full description + detail-page-only fields. Off by default to keep runs fast; flip on when you need the deep payload.
• ♻️ Incremental mode: recurring runs emit only directory entries that are new or updated — keep your supplier-outreach lists fresh without re-fetching the full directory. Saves 80–95% on weekly syncs.
• 🔔 Notifications: Telegram, Slack, Discord, WhatsApp Cloud API, and generic webhook out of the box. Pair with incremental for daily new-listing alerts without pipeline glue.
• 📦 Compact mode: compact directory entries — name, contact, location, industry — ready to import into your CRM or outreach tool.
• 🔌 MCP connectors: push your leads into Notion via Apify's MCP connectors — a tidy run-summary page, no export step, no glue code. Opt-in, deterministic field-mapping (no AI). More destinations as Apify's connector catalog grows.
• 🧹 Empty-field stripping: drop null, empty-string, and empty-array fields from each record before push. Smaller payloads for AI agents and dashboards that already handle missing fields gracefully.
• 📤 Export anywhere: Download the dataset as JSON, CSV, or Excel from the Apify Console, or stream live via the Apify API and integrations (Make, Zapier, Google Sheets, n8n, …).

What data can you extract from bundesanzeiger.de?

Each result includes Core company fields (listingId, searchQuery, contentQuality, scrapedAt, changeType, entity_name, entity_city, and publication_area, and more) and detail fields when enrichment is enabled (detailFetched). In standard mode, all fields are always present — unavailable data points are returned as null, never omitted. In compact mode, only core fields are returned.

Detail enrichment is on by default and fetches each record's detail page — extra fields the search results omit.

Input

The main inputs are a search keyword and a result limit. Additional filters and options are available in the input schema.

Key parameters:

• query — Company name or full-text search terms (e.g. "SAP SE"). Leave empty and choose a Publication Area to browse the newest publications in that area. Use a JSON array for several searches.
• area — Restrict the search to one area of the Bundesanzeiger. Leave empty for all areas.
• maxResults — Maximum total results (0 = unlimited). (default: 100)
• startUrls — Paste raw search URLs from the target site. Each URL becomes its own search task; results are merged and deduped by listing ID across all URLs. When provided, startUrls REPLACE the query/area fields (each supported URL becomes one task; unsupported URLs are skipped, and if none is supported the run stops with an input error). (default: [])
• includeDetails — Fetch full listing details. (default: true)
• extractFinancials — For annual reports (Rechnungslegung/Finanzberichte), read the published report and fill revenue (Umsatzerlöse), total assets (Bilanzsumme), equity (Eigenkapital), net income (Jahresüberschuss/-fehlbetrag) and average employee count. A figure the report does not state plainly stays null (small companies often publish no revenue). Off by default: opening each annual report adds time to the run. Needs Include Full Details. (default: false)
• descriptionMaxLength — Truncate description to N chars. 0 = no truncation. (default: 0)
• compact — Core fields only (for AI-agent/MCP workflows). (default: false)
• descriptionFormat — Pick a single description representation. all keeps every variant; text / html / markdown drop the others. (default: "all")
• excludeEmptyFields — Drop null, empty-string, and empty-array fields from each record before push. Smaller payloads for AI agents and dashboards. (default: false)
• incrementalMode — Compare against previous run state. stateKey is optional — defaults to a value derived from search inputs (queries, locations, startUrls, country) so different filter sets never share state. (default: false)
• stateKey — Optional. Stable identifier for the tracked search universe. Leave empty to auto-generate from search inputs.
• ...and 14 more parameters
