Kompass Scraper for Apify — a Kompass API alternative that turns the global B2B directory into clean JSON. Scrape company profiles across 70+ country domains and export phone, email, website, VAT, registration number, address, GPS, employees, products, certifications, and optional catalogue PDFs.

Built for supplier sourcing, lead generation, CRM enrichment, and market mapping. Run from the Console or with Python, Node.js, cURL, or MCP / AI assistants. Uses Camoufox plus residential proxy to clear Kompass DataDome.

When to use this Actor

• You need a Kompass company scraper for structured dataset rows
• You want keyword search or startUrls (search pages / profile links)
• You need phone, email, VAT and firmographics for outbound or procurement
• You want a global ↔ Europe chain with Europages / WLW

When not to use this Actor

• Guaranteed email on every profile — many free listings publish phone and website only
• Authenticated / gated Kompass fields — public profile + JSON-LD only
• Sending RFQs through Kompass contact forms — read-only extraction
• Datacenter-only runs — DataDome blocks most non-residential traffic; use Apify Residential matching the market country

Key features

• Kompass API alternative — structured dataset instead of manual browsing
• Keyword → searchCompanies — builds country-host search URLs automatically
• Start URLs — paste search pages or /c/{slug}/{id}/ profile links
• 15+ markets — de, fr, gb, us, es, it, nl, be, pl, in, …
• Country post-filter — drop off-target SERP companies before detail fetch
• Detail enrichment — JSON-LD Organization + firmographics (VAT, register, employees)
• Smart enrich — skip profile fetch when listing already has email + phone + website
• Optional catalogues — fetchCatalogues attaches PDF / video links from /c/cv/…
• Streaming results — dataset rows appear while the run is in progress (per keyword)
• Deduped push — unique by companyId within a run
• DataDome bypass — Camoufox stealth Firefox + residential session rotation

FAQ

Why do I need residential proxies?
Kompass uses DataDome. Datacenter IPs usually get an interstitial challenge; Apify Residential with a matching country code clears it reliably.

Why is detail mode slower than Europages?
Kompass requires a real browser (Camoufox) per page. For large volumes, start with fetchDetails: false, then enrich only new companyIds.

Why filter by country?
Long searches mix foreign companies on later pages. countryFilter drops non-matching rows before detail fetch.

Do listings include email?
Usually not. Keep fetchDetails on (and smartEnrich off when you need maximum VAT/contact coverage).
