EU Company Data Extractor – domain to company record (+ VIES VAT check)

Run it on Apify: https://apify.com/etse/eu-company-data-extractor · Source: MIT, https://github.com/Estefanolabudda/eu-company-data-extractor

Give it a list of company websites from anywhere in the EU, UK or Switzerland and get back one clean, structured company record per domain: legal name, legal form, address, company registration number, VAT ID validated live against EU VIES, representatives, contact data, share capital, hosting provider and the company's social profiles.

It reads the page every European business has to publish anyway: the Impressum (DE/AT/CH), Mentions légales (FR/BE/LU), Colofon (NL), Legal notice / Company information (UK/IE), Note legali (IT), Aviso legal (ES), plus terms and privacy pages as a fallback, and turns the free text into fields for your CRM, KYB workflow or AI agent.

Why this Actor

• Legal-page aware in 10+ languages. Finds Impressum, Mentions légales, Aviso legal, Note legali, Colofon, Legal notice, Company information; follows index pages with several sub-pages; falls back to terms and privacy pages where UK/NL companies hide their entity.
• Handles JavaScript sites. Pages rendered client-side are re-fetched with a headless browser automatically (cookie banners are accepted so the legal text is in the DOM).
• Country-specific formats built in. UK one-line registered offices (10 Downing Street, London SW1A 2AA), Dutch 1015 CJ postcodes, French number-first streets, Belgian 0123.456.789 enterprise numbers, Italian P.IVA = VAT, obfuscated e-mails.
• VIES validation included. Every EU VAT ID is checked against the official service, with registered name and address where available.
• Enrichment in the same run. Website title and description plus LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, X, YouTube and Xing links from the homepage, so a domain list becomes a CRM-ready company list in one step.
• Agent-ready. Works through the Apify MCP server, so an AI agent can look up the legal entity behind a website before writing an offer, a contract or a due-diligence note.

Typical uses (domain to company, company enrichment, KYB)

• Enrich a lead list of domains with legal entity, registration number, VAT ID and LinkedIn page before importing into HubSpot, Pipedrive or Salesforce.
• Supplier / customer onboarding (KYB): confirm that the entity on the website matches the entity on the invoice, VIES status included.
• Build a European company dataset from a list of websites.
• Agencies: check legal-page completeness across client sites.

Pricing

Pay per event: you are charged only for records with confidence >= 0.25, i.e. domains where company data was actually found. Unreachable or blocked sites and sites without a legal page cost nothing.

Accuracy and limits

• Legal pages are free text; extraction is heuristic. Keep impressumUrl and confidence next to the data and spot-check records below 0.75.
• Live benchmark (October 2026, BENCHMARK.md): on a deliberately hard set of 22 large consumer/tech sites across 12 countries, 10 returned CRM-grade records (confidence ≥ 0.75) and 16 a country; the misses were sites with bot protection (bol.com, allegro.pl, doctolib.fr, cabify.com) or whose legal entity only appears deep inside terms pages. On the simpler DACH benchmark of the sibling Actor, 18 of 20 sites succeed. Typical SME websites with a normal legal page are the easy case.
• Sites with aggressive bot protection may return errors; use Apify Proxy (residential) via proxyConfiguration if you need those.
• UK and Swiss VAT numbers are not in VIES; vies.checked = false with a reason is returned.
• Companies that publish only a trading name and no identifiers get a low confidence by design.

Data protection

The Actor only reads information that the website operator is legally obliged to publish or has chosen to publish about the company. Under the Apify Store terms you (the user) are the controller of the data you collect and responsible for a lawful basis for the intended use (e.g. B2B contact, KYB). Do not use the output for unsolicited marketing where local law requires consent.
