FirmenABC Scraper – Austrian Business Directory

What does FirmenABC Scraper do?

FirmenABC Scraper extracts structured listing data from firmenabc.at — including contact details and location data. It supports full-catalog discovery, direct URL scraping, and controllable result limits, so you can run the same crawl consistently over time.

Key features

• Keyword + location search — target specific industries or regions (e.g. Bäckerei in Wien). Works across all 9 Austrian federal states.
• Full catalog crawl — automatically discover and scrape all 800,000+ companies via the sitemap.
• Direct URL mode — pass specific startUrls to scrape known company profiles.
• Balance sheet data — latest Jahresabschluss figures (total assets, equity, net income, fixed assets, current assets, provisions, liabilities) from Firmenbuch filings.
• Managers + Firmenbuchnummer — board members, officers, legal form, and Firmenbuchnummer parsed from each profile.
• Incremental mode — recurring runs emit and charge only for listings that are new or whose tracked content changed. First run builds the baseline state; subsequent runs emit only new or changed records.
• Compact mode — AI-agent and MCP-friendly payloads with core fields only.

What data can you extract from firmenabc.at?

Each result includes Core listing fields (listingId, listingKey, name, url, street, postalCode, city, and region, and more) and contact and apply information (telephone and email). 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.

Input

The main inputs are an optional list of start URLs and a result limit. Additional options are available in the input schema.

Key parameters:

• query — Search keyword (e.g. Bäckerei, IT-Dienstleistungen, Steuerberater). Leave empty to crawl via startUrls or the full sitemap.
• location — Austrian federal state or city (e.g. Wien, Oberösterreich, Graz). Leave empty to search all of Austria.
• startUrls — Optional: provide specific FirmenABC company detail URLs to scrape directly (e.g. https://www.firmenabc.at/wien-holding-gmbh_ocT). Ignored if query is set. Leave all search inputs empty for automatic full-catalog discovery.
• maxResults — Maximum number of companies to return. 0 = no limit (full catalog, 800k+). Use a small number for testing. (default: 100)
• compact — Return only core fields (name, url, address, telephone, vatId, rechtsform, changeType). Ideal for AI-agent and MCP workflows to reduce token usage. (default: false)
• incrementalMode — Only emit companies that are new or have changed since the last run. Requires stateKey. Saves cost on repeated runs. (default: false)
• stateKey — Unique identifier for this tracking session (e.g. "at-all-companies"). Required when incrementalMode is true.
• emitUnchanged — When incremental mode is on, also emit companies with no detected changes (changeType=UNCHANGED). (default: false)
• emitExpired — When incremental mode is on, also emit companies that disappeared since the last run (changeType=EXPIRED). (default: false)

Incremental fields

When incremental: true, each record also carries:

• changeType — one of NEW, UPDATED, UNCHANGED, REAPPEARED, EXPIRED. Default output covers NEW / UPDATED / REAPPEARED; set emitUnchanged: true or emitExpired: true to opt into the others.
• firstSeenAt, lastSeenAt — ISO-8601 timestamps tracking the listing across runs.

How to scrape firmenabc.at

1. Go to FirmenABC Scraper in Apify Console.
2. Enter a search query (e.g. Bäckerei) and optional location (e.g. Wien), or paste specific company URLs into startUrls, or leave everything empty to crawl the full catalog.
3. Set maxResults to control how many results you need.
4. Click Start and wait for the run to finish.
5. Export the dataset as JSON, CSV, or Excel.

Use cases

• Extract listing data from firmenabc.at for market research and competitive analysis.
• Monitor new and changed listings on scheduled runs without processing the full dataset every time.
• Build outreach lists using contact details and apply URLs from listings.
• Use structured location data for regional analysis, mapping, and geo-targeting.
• Feed structured data into AI agents, MCP tools, and automated pipelines using compact mode.
• Export clean, structured data to dashboards, spreadsheets, or data warehouses.

How much does it cost to scrape firmenabc.at?

FirmenABC Scraper uses pay-per-event pricing.

• Run start: $0.005 per run
• Business found (search-mode only): $0.0015 per company discovered in search results
• Business details extracted: $0.004 per fully enriched record

startUrls and sitemap modes charge only the detail event — you already have the URL. Search mode charges both (found + detail) per company. This matches the structure of other Austrian business-directory scrapers while coming in ~20% cheaper.

Example costs:

Mode	10 results	100 results	500 results
Search (query + location)	$0.060	$0.555	$2.755
startUrls / sitemap	$0.045	$0.405	$2.005

Example: recurring monitoring savings

These examples compare full re-scrapes with incremental runs at different churn rates. Churn is the share of listings that are new or whose tracked content changed since the previous run. Actual churn depends on your query breadth, source activity, and polling frequency — the scenarios below are examples, not predictions.

Example setup: 250 results per run in sitemap mode (detail-only charging), daily polling (30 runs/month). Event-pricing examples scale linearly with result count.

Churn rate	Full re-scrape run cost	Incremental run cost	Savings vs full re-scrape	Monthly cost after baseline
5% — stable niche query	$1.005	$0.055	$0.95 (95%)	$2.60
15% — moderate broad query	$1.005	$0.155	$0.85 (85%)	$5.50
30% — high-volume aggregator	$1.005	$0.305	$0.70 (70%)	$9.85

Full re-scrape monthly cost at daily polling: $30.15. First month with incremental costs slightly more for the first run (full baseline) before incremental savings apply on subsequent runs.

Platform usage (compute and proxies) is billed separately by Apify based on actual consumption. Incremental runs consume less on result processing, though fixed per-run overhead stays the same.
