Norway Company Registry Scraper — Brønnøysund Enhetsregisteret

---

🎯 What this scrapes

Enhetsregisteret is the authoritative record of every registered organisation in Norway, and it is free and open — but the API answers in Norwegian, nests the address and industry code three levels deep, and returns forty fields when you want twelve. This Actor flattens it into one row per company with English field names, so a Nordic prospect list or a KYC check becomes a spreadsheet rather than a parsing exercise.

🔥 What we handle for you

renames every Norwegian field to English and flattens the nested address and industry blocks pages the register cleanly and stops exactly on your result cap retries transient 429/5xx responses instead of failing the whole run

💡 Use cases

• Build a Nordic B2B prospect list filtered by industry code and municipality.
• Run a KYC or supplier check against the authoritative Norwegian register.
• Track new company registrations in an industry over time.
• Screen a partner list for bankruptcy and liquidation flags before contracting.

❓ FAQ

Do I need an API key?

No. Enhetsregisteret is open government data and needs no credentials.

Is the data in Norwegian?

The source is, but this Actor renames every field to English and flattens the nested blocks.

Can I get every company in an industry?

Yes — set an industry code and raise Maximum companies; the Actor pages until the register runs out or your limit is reached.
