🔎 Why scrape Dun & Bradstreet?

Dun & Bradstreet maintains one of the world's largest commercial databases — hundreds of millions of business records, each tied to a unique D-U-N-S Number. Its public business directory exposes company profiles with firmographics that are gold for B2B prospecting: industry classification, location, revenue, key decision-makers and corporate hierarchy.

But D&B has no public bulk export, and its directory is a JavaScript app that's painful to copy by hand. This scraper automates the whole process: you give it search terms, it returns hundreds of clean company records you can filter, sort and import anywhere.

Common reasons people scrape Dun & Bradstreet:

• Build targeted B2B lead and prospect lists by industry and location
• Enrich a CRM with company firmographics (industry, address, revenue, DUNS)
• Run market sizing / TAM analysis for a sector or region
• Map corporate hierarchies (parent vs branch locations)
• Identify key principals / decision-makers for outreach
• Power competitive and industry research

🎯 Use cases

1. B2B lead generation & sales prospecting

Build targeted prospect lists by searching an industry or keyword and filtering by location. Each company comes with its industry, full address and profile link — and with deep mode, revenue and the key principal to prioritize and personalize outreach.

2. CRM & data enrichment

Already have company names? Search them and append fresh firmographics — DUNS number, industry classification, address, revenue and parent industry — to keep your CRM accurate and your segmentation sharp.

3. Market sizing & TAM analysis

Pull every company in a sector and region to estimate market size, map the competitive landscape, and quantify your total addressable market with real firmographic data rather than guesswork.

4. Corporate hierarchy mapping

The locationType field distinguishes parent companies from branches, so you can map multi-location enterprises and target the right entity for sales or research.

5. Decision-maker identification

Deep profile mode surfaces the key principal and the number of principals on file, helping you find the right person to contact at each company.

6. Competitive & industry intelligence

Combine industry classification, revenue and competitor signals to benchmark companies, track sectors and feed dashboards or analyst models.

7. Risk, credit & supplier research

Firmographics tied to DUNS numbers are the backbone of vendor onboarding, KYB (know-your-business) and supplier due-diligence workflows.

⚙️ How it works

1. Enter one or more search terms — company names or keywords.
2. Pick a country and how many companies you want per term.
3. Optionally enable deep profile mode for revenue, principals and more.
4. Run the Actor — it collects, de-duplicates and structures the data, then makes it available for download or via API.

No login, no D&B subscription, no captcha solving.

🔬 Deep company profiles (optional)

Most directory scrapers stop at the search list. Enable scrapeCompanyProfiles and this Actor also visits each company's profile to pull:

• Revenue — formatted (e.g. $5.63 billion) and as a number, with currency and fiscal year
• Key principal — the lead executive on file
• Parent industry, registered DUNS, number of principals
• Competitors and similar companies signals

It's optional because it adds one request per company (slower, more compute). Note: a few fields (exact employee count, phone, incorporation year) are gated by D&B and may come back empty — the scraper returns clean null for those rather than garbage.

---

✅ Proven results (real run)

A real run for software (US) with deep profiles enabled returned 18/18 companies with:

Field	Fill rate
companyName, DUNS, address, city, industry, locationType	100%
revenue & numeric revenue value	100%
key principal (executive)	100%
registered DUNS & number of principals	100%

Even when D&B masks the formatted revenue string, the scraper recovers the numeric revenue and rebuilds a clean figure (e.g. Koch Software → $3.17 billion). Gated fields like exact employee count and phone are returned as null rather than placeholder text.

⭐ What makes this scraper stand out

• Deep firmographics, not just listings. Revenue, key principal, parent industry and DUNS — the fields that actually qualify a B2B account.
• Clean revenue every time. When D&B hides the formatted figure, we reconstruct it from the underlying number.
• No garbage values. Gated fields become null, so your spreadsheet stays tidy.
• Country targeting + de-duplication built in for focused, clean prospect lists.

🔎 Popular searches & industries

You can search any keyword or company name. Popular B2B sourcing and prospecting examples include:

• Technology — software, SaaS, IT services, cybersecurity, semiconductors
• Industrial — manufacturing, machinery, automotive, aerospace
• Logistics — freight, warehousing, supply chain, distribution
• Energy — renewable energy, oil and gas, utilities
• Healthcare — medical devices, pharmaceuticals, biotech
• Finance — fintech, insurance, investment firms
• Consumer — retail, food and beverage, apparel

Pair any term with a country code to focus the search on a single market.

❓ Frequently asked questions

Does it include the numeric DUNS number? The search result includes a directory identifier, and deep profile mode adds the registeredDuns (numeric) when D&B exposes it publicly.

Does it include revenue? Yes — enable scrapeCompanyProfiles and most US companies return a formatted revenue (e.g. $5.63 billion) plus a numeric value, currency and fiscal year.

Why are employee count and phone sometimes empty? D&B gates a few fields (exact employee count, phone, incorporation year) behind its paid products. The scraper detects these and returns clean null instead of placeholder text, so your data stays tidy.

Can I search outside the US? Yes — set the country parameter to any supported ISO code (GB, DE, FR, CA, AU…). US has the most complete coverage.

How many companies can I get? Results are paginated automatically; set maxItemsPerQuery to your target. Broad terms can return many hundreds of companies.

What export formats are supported? JSON, CSV, Excel (XLSX), XML and RSS — plus direct API access.

Will I get duplicate companies? No. Results are de-duplicated within a run, so overlapping search terms won't create duplicate rows.

How much does it cost to run? You only pay for the results you collect (pay-per-result). The directory API is fast, so runs are economical even at scale.

Is scraping Dun & Bradstreet legal? This Actor collects only publicly available directory data. You are responsible for using the data in compliance with D&B's terms of use and applicable laws (including data-protection rules such as GDPR where relevant).

Can I search by company name to find one specific company? Yes. Put the exact company name in queries (e.g. Take-Two) and the directory returns matching companies; enable scrapeCompanyProfiles to get full firmographics for each match.

Does it return the parent company or the branches? Both — each record's locationType tells you whether it's a Parent or a branch location, so you can target the headquarters or map all sites of an enterprise.

How fresh is the data? Every run queries D&B's directory live, so firmographics reflect what's published at the time you run it. Schedule recurring runs to keep your database current.

Can I push results straight into my CRM or Google Sheet? Yes — use Apify's native integrations (Google Sheets, HubSpot, Make, Zapier) or webhooks to send each run's results wherever you need them, automatically.

What's the best way to build a large prospect list? Use several related keywords (e.g. software, SaaS, IT services) with a country filter and a higher maxItemsPerQuery. De-duplication keeps the combined list clean.

💡 Tips & best practices

• Use focused search terms. An industry keyword plus a country returns a clean, relevant set. Combine several terms for broader coverage.
• Enable deep profiles only when you need revenue/principals — it's slower and uses more compute, so keep it off for quick list-building.
• Target the country with the country parameter to avoid mixing markets.
• Set a realistic maxItemsPerQuery. 100–300 per term suits most prospecting and research projects.
• Export to a spreadsheet and sort by revenueValue or industryName to prioritize the best accounts.
• Schedule recurring runs to keep firmographics fresh and catch newly listed companies.
• De-duplication is automatic — feel free to add overlapping terms.
• Sort by revenueValue to instantly surface the largest accounts in a list.
• Use locationType to separate headquarters (Parent) from branches when planning outreach.
• Combine industry + country (e.g. fintech in GB) for tightly scoped market maps.

🔗 Built for B2B workflows

This scraper fits naturally into prospecting and research pipelines: pull a company list, enrich it with revenue and key principals, push it to your CRM or spreadsheet, and refresh it on a schedule.

---

⚠️ Limitations

• A few firmographic fields (exact employee count, phone, incorporation year) are gated by D&B and may be empty.
• Revenue and principal coverage is highest for US companies and larger businesses.
• Result volume per term depends on how many companies D&B lists for that keyword and country.
