Europages Scraper: B2B Suppliers & Certificates (No Login)

Search Europages, the European B2B directory, by product keyword, country and company type. Get one row per supplier with website, address, employees, founding year, certificates, activities, VAT ID and company phone.

Use it to build supplier and manufacturer lists for sourcing, sales or market research. The smallest run is one keyword and one country: packaging in DE returns 20 German packaging companies in up to 4 minutes. No login and no account on Europages are needed.

What it does

The Actor runs a Europages search for every keyword in every country you choose. It reads the result pages (30 companies per page). Then it opens each company profile and adds certificates, activities, product categories, VAT ID and the company phone. Each company is one row in the dataset.

Data source: public search and company pages of Europages, read without login. This Actor is not affiliated with Europages or Visable GmbH. Company texts, logos and trademarks belong to their owners. You are responsible for using the data in line with GDPR and the Europages terms.

Good fit

• Find manufacturers or wholesalers of a product in one or more European countries.
• Build a supplier shortlist with website, size (employees) and founding year.
• Check which suppliers list a certificate such as ISO 9001 or ISO 14001.
• Enrich a lead list with the company VAT ID and main phone number.

Not a fit / limits

• No e-mail addresses and no personal contacts. The Actor returns only the company's main phone number. E-mail addresses in company descriptions are replaced with [email removed].
• Europages search is fuzzy. It also returns companies that only match part of a word, or a related term. Even a nonsense word can return a few companies. Check keywords, activities and mainActivity if you need exact matches.
• Up to 1,000 companies per search (one keyword in one country) and up to 20 searches per run.
• Fields depend on what each company publishes. Many companies have no certificates, VAT ID or activities.
• The Actor does not promise a complete list of all companies in a country. It returns what Europages search shows.

Quick start

1. Open the Input tab.
2. Add a product keyword in Search terms (queries), for example packaging.
3. Choose one or more Countries (countries), for example DE. Leave it empty to search all of Europe.
4. Keep Max companies per search (maxItems) at the prefill 20 for a first test.
5. Click Start.
6. Open the Output tab and check the Companies view: name, country, city, website, companyType.

Expected result: 20 rows of German packaging companies, each with detailStatus = complete.

Use cases

Buyer job	Input path	Output entity	Key fields	Next step
Find manufacturers of a product	queries, countries, companyType = production	Company	name, website, country, employees	Export to CSV or Google Sheets
Supplier check by certificate	queries, includeDetails = true	Company	certifications, foundedYear, distributionArea	Filter rows by certifications
Lead list for B2B sales	queries, countries	Company	website, phone, vatId, city	Import to CRM via API or integration
Quick market count	queries, includeDetails = false	Company (search result only)	name, country, companyType	Count rows per country

Input

Input fields

Field	Plain name	Type	Required	Default / prefill	Allowed values	Effect	Example	Recommendation
queries	Search terms	array of strings	yes	prefill ["packaging"]	1–20 terms, 2–100 characters each	Each term is a separate Europages search	["led street lighting"]	Use English product words
countries	Countries	array of country codes	no	prefill ["DE"]; empty = all countries	44 Europages countries (DE, FR, IT, PL, ...)	Each country is a separate search for every term	["DE", "PL"]	Leave empty for one Europe-wide search
companyType	Company type	string	no	any	any, production, customer_specific_manufacturing, distribution, wholesaler, service	Europages keeps only companies of this type	production	A company can have several types
maxItems	Max companies per search	integer	no	default 100, prefill 20	1–1000	Stops each search after this many companies	200	Start small, then raise it
includeDetails	Open company profiles	boolean	no	true	true, false	true adds certificates, activities, VAT ID, phone; false is faster	false	Turn off for quick counts

Duplicates are removed: if two searches find the same company, it is saved and charged only once.

Interacting settings

When	Input A	Input B	Effective behavior	Example	Cost/result effect
Several terms and countries	queries	countries	One search per term × country; at most 20 per run	4 terms × 5 countries = 20 searches	Up to 20 × maxItems rows
No countries	queries	countries empty	One search per term over all countries	["valves"], []	Fewer searches, mixed countries
Profiles off	includeDetails = false	—	Rows come from search pages only; detailStatus = listing_only	—	Same price per row, much faster
Too many searches	queries	countries	Run stops with INVALID_INPUT before any search	7 terms × 3 countries = 21	Only the start fee

Output entities and surfaces

Situation	Where	Result shape	What to do
Normal company	Dataset, view Companies	One row per company	Open, export or read via API
No companies found	Dataset empty; RUN_SUMMARY status empty, reason NO_RESULTS	No rows	Try a broader keyword or more countries
Some profiles not read	Dataset rows with detailStatus = detail_error; reason DETAILS_MISSING	Search-result fields only	Run again later for those companies
Run stopped early	RUN_SUMMARY status partial (CHARGE_LIMIT, INTERNAL_LIMIT, SOURCE_ERROR)	Rows saved before the stop are kept	Read message; use fewer searches or a lower maxItems
Invalid input	Run fails; RUN_SUMMARY reason INVALID_INPUT	No rows	Fix the input from the message

The key-value store record RUN_SUMMARY has the run status and reason, counts per search and request statistics.

This example is trimmed and shows one company from the packaging / DE run. An empty array means the profile has no such data. null means the field was not available (for example, profiles were turned off).

Pricing and limits

Pricing unit

You pay per event:

• Actor start: $0.005 per run (one event per GB of memory; the default 512 MB is one event).
• Company: one event for each saved company row. The price depends on your Apify plan:

Plan	Price per company	Per 1,000 companies
Free	$0.0054	$5.40
Bronze	$0.0051	$5.10
Silver	$0.0048	$4.80
Gold	$0.0045	$4.50

Platform usage (compute, proxy) is included. A run that finds no companies, or a filter with no matches, costs only the start fee. Rows with detailStatus = detail_error are not charged. Duplicates are not charged twice. You can set Max cost per run in run options: the Actor stops when the next row would go over it (reason CHARGE_LIMIT).

Cost examples (Free plan)

Scenario	Input scope	Rows	Start	Rows charge	Total
First test	packaging / DE / 20	20	$0.005	$0.108	$0.113
Normal	1 term / 1 country / 100	100	$0.005	$0.54	$0.545
Large	1 term / 1 country / 1,000	1,000	$0.005	$5.40	$5.405
Nothing found	any	0	$0.005	$0	$0.005

Limits and run time

• 20 searches per run, 1,000 companies per search, 20 terms per run.
• One run works for at most 1 hour. With profiles this is about 1,500 companies per run, so 20 searches × 1,000 companies do not fit in one run.
• 20 companies with profiles: about 20 seconds to 4 minutes. 1,000 companies with profiles: about 40 minutes.
• Default memory 512 MB; default timeout 3,600 seconds. For big runs keep the timeout at 3,600 seconds or more.

API, export and integrations

• API: start the Actor with the same JSON input and read rows from the default dataset (/items?view=companies).
• Export: download the dataset as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML or HTML from the Output tab.
• Scheduling and integrations: use Apify schedules, webhooks, or integrations such as Google Sheets, Make and Zapier to send new rows to your tools.

Use with AI agents (MCP)

• MCP server with only this Actor: https://mcp.apify.com?tools=cliqtomedia/europages-companies-scraper
• Smallest useful input: {"queries": ["packaging"], "countries": ["DE"], "maxItems": 20}
• Key output fields: name (company), website (own site), country (ISO code), companyType (manufacturer, wholesaler, ...), certifications (certificate names).
• Typical run: 20 companies in 20 seconds to 4 minutes, about $0.11 on the Free plan. Limits: 20 searches per run, 1,000 companies per search, about 1,500 companies with profiles per run (1 hour).

Troubleshooting

The run returned companies that do not match my keyword

Symptom: some rows are about a different product. Likely reason: Europages search is fuzzy and also matches related words. Check: look at keywords, mainActivity and searchRank. The best matches come first. Action: use a more specific keyword, a lower maxItems, or filter rows after export.

The run failed with "at most 20 per run"

Symptom: status INVALID_INPUT, message queries × countries gives N searches. Likely reason: too many terms × countries. Action: split the job into several runs, or leave countries empty for one Europe-wide search per term.

Some rows have detailStatus = detail_error

Symptom: certificates, activities, VAT ID are empty for a few rows. Likely reason: the profile page did not load in time. Action: these rows are free. Run the same search again later to fill them. If most profiles fail (10 in a row, or more than half), the run stops early with SOURCE_ERROR so you do not wait for free rows.

The run stopped with INTERNAL_LIMIT

Symptom: status partial, fewer rows than expected. Likely reason: the run reached the 1 hour limit. The Actor stops itself after 1 hour, even with a longer timeout. Action: split the job: use fewer searches or a lower maxItems per run.

FAQ

Do I need a Europages account or login?

No. The Actor reads public Europages pages. You need only an Apify account.

Does it return e-mail addresses?

No. It returns the company's main phone number and website. It does not collect personal contacts or e-mails.

Why does the same keyword give a slightly different list on another day?

Europages changes its ranking and its company data. The Actor returns what Europages shows at run time. Use companyId to compare runs.

What happens if nothing is found?

The run ends with status empty and reason NO_RESULTS. You pay only the start fee.
