Fonecta Finland Business Directory Scraper [Just 💰$0.61]

What does Fonecta Finland Business Directory Scraper do?

Fonecta Finland Business Directory Scraper extracts structured company data from fonecta.fi — including contact details, full descriptions, and location data. It supports keyword search, location filters, and controllable result limits, so you can run the same query consistently over time. The actor also offers detail enrichment (full descriptions, company metadata, and contact information) where the source provides them.

Key features

• 🏢 Employer details: companyName name the employer behind each record.
• 📍 Coordinates: latitude and longitude on each record that has a location, ready for a map.
• 🏘️ Address: streetAddress and postalCode as separate fields for every record that lists them.
• 📇 Contact details: phone, email and website where the record publishes them.
• 🕒 Opening hours: openNow and openingHours where the record publishes them.
• 👤 Owner and applicant: ownerName name who owns each record.
• 🔍 Keyword search: search fonecta.fi by keyword with the query input, in the place you name in location.
• 🔗 Paste-mode: paste fonecta.fi URLs into startUrls to scrape exactly the pages you picked in the browser.
• 📋 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.

What data can you extract from fonecta.fi?

Each result includes Core company fields (listingId, portalUrl, businessId, title, entityName, officialName, prhAliases, and brands, and more), detail fields when enrichment is enabled (descriptionTitle, description, descriptionParagraphs, and detailFetched), contact information (contactId, contactType, companyContactId, and officeContactId), and company metadata (companyName, companyForm, and companyFormFull). 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.

Enable detail enrichment in the input to get richer fields such as full descriptions, company metadata, and contact information where the source provides them.

Input

The main inputs are a search keyword, an optional location filter, and a result limit. Additional filters and options are available in the input schema.

Key parameters:

• query — What to look for: an industry keyword, a company name or a brand — in Finnish, as the directory is Finnish (e.g. siivous = cleaning, ravintola = restaurant, tilitoimisto = accounting firm). A search term is required. Use a JSON array for several searches in one run, e.g. ["siivous","ravintola"].
• location — Narrow the search to a Finnish city or region, e.g. Helsinki, Tampere, Pirkanmaa. Leave empty to search all of Finland. Use a JSON array for several locations.
• maxResults — Maximum total company records (0 = unlimited). (default: 100)
• includeDetails — Fetch each company's full profile: registry and VAT registration dates, company form, financial figures per fiscal year, opening hours, offices and all contact details. (default: true)
• descriptionMaxLength — Truncate each company's own description text to N chars. 0 = no truncation. (default: 0)
• compact — Core fields only (for AI-agent/MCP workflows). (default: false)
• 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 and return only new or changed companies. stateKey is optional — it defaults to a value derived from your search inputs (search terms, locations) so different searches never share state. (default: false)
• stateKey — Optional. Stable identifier for the tracked set of companies. Leave empty to auto-generate from the search inputs.
• skipReposts — When incremental, skip companies whose content matches a record that disappeared in a prior run (cross-run duplicate detection). (default: false)
• notifyOnlyChanges — When Incremental Mode is on, only send notifications for new and updated companies. Has no effect outside incremental mode. (default: false)
• notificationLimit — Maximum number of companies included in each notification message (1–20). (default: 5)
• ...and 13 more parameters

Input examples

Basic search — Keyword-driven search scoped to a city with a tight radius.

→ Full payload per result — all standard fields populated where the source provides them.

{
  "query": "siivous",
  "location": "Helsinki",
  "maxResults": 50
}

Incremental tracking — Only emit records that changed since the previous run with this stateKey.

→ First run builds the baseline state. Subsequent runs emit only records that are new or whose tracked content changed. Set emitUnchanged: true to include unchanged records as well.

{
  "query": "siivous",
  "maxResults": 200,
  "incrementalMode": true,
  "stateKey": "siivous-tracker"
}

Compact output for AI agents — Return only core fields for AI-agent and MCP workflows.

→ Small payload with the most important fields — ideal for piping into LLMs without token overhead.

{
  "query": "siivous",
  "maxResults": 50,
  "compact": true
}

Output

Each run produces a dataset of structured company records. Results can be downloaded as JSON, CSV, or Excel from the Dataset tab in Apify Console.

Incremental fields

When incremental mode is on, each record also carries:

• changeType — one of NEW, UPDATED, REAPPEARED.
• isRepost, repostOfId, repostDetectedAt — populated when a new listing matches the tracked content of a previously expired one. Set skipReposts: true to drop detected reposts from the output.

How to scrape fonecta.fi

1. Go to Fonecta Finland Business Directory Scraper in Apify Console.
2. Enter a search keyword and optional location filter.
3. Set maxResults to control how many results you need.
4. Enable includeDetails if you need full descriptions, contact info.
5. Click Start and wait for the run to finish.
6. Export the dataset as JSON, CSV, or Excel.

Use cases

• Extract company data from fonecta.fi for market research and competitive analysis.
• Monitor new and changed records on scheduled runs without processing the full dataset every time.
• 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 fonecta.fi?

Fonecta Finland Business Directory Scraper uses pay-per-event pricing. You pay a small fee when the run starts and then for each result that is actually produced.

• Run start: $0.01 per run
• Per result: $0.00061 per company record

Example costs:

• 10 results: $0.016
• 25 results: $0.025
• 100 results: $0.071
• 200 results: $0.13
• 500 results: $0.32

Example: recurring monitoring savings

These examples compare full re-scrapes with incremental runs at different churn rates. Churn is the share of records 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 records per run, daily polling (30 runs/month). Costs scale linearly with the number of records.

Churn rate	Full re-scrape run cost	Incremental run cost	Savings vs full re-scrape	Monthly cost after baseline
5% — stable niche query	$0.16	$0.02	$0.15 (89%)	$0.53
15% — moderate broad query	$0.16	$0.03	$0.13 (80%)	$0.99
30% — high-volume aggregator	$0.16	$0.06	$0.11 (66%)	$1.68

Full re-scrape monthly cost at the same cadence: $4.89. First month with incremental costs $0.67 / $1.12 / $1.78 for the 5% / 15% / 30% scenarios because the first run builds baseline state at full cost before incremental savings apply.

Platform usage is included in the per-result fee shown above.
