Borme Spain Corporate Acts Gazette Scraper

Pull Spain's daily corporate-acts gazette (BORME — Boletín Oficial del Registro Mercantil) as structured data instead of dense legal paragraphs. Every incorporation, director appointment or removal, capital change, address change, merger and dissolution published in Spain is parsed into typed fields — officer names with their roles, capital amounts as numbers, corporate purpose as its own field — with the raw published text always included alongside.

Borme Spain Corporate Acts Gazette Scraper Features

• Structured act parsing, not a raw paragraph dump — officer appointments/removals, capital amounts, registered addresses and corporate purpose are each their own field
• Covers all three BORME sections in one run: A (company registrations), B (other registry acts) and C (legal notices), across every one of Spain's 52 mercantile-registry provinces
• Every act keeps its raw published text (act_text) alongside the parsed fields, so nothing is lost when a clause form isn't one of the common types
• Date-range driven — pull the last few days for a lead feed, or dial in any historical range back to 2009 for a backfill
• Resumable — a capped or interrupted run picks up exactly where it left off, at no extra charge for records already delivered

Who Uses Spanish Corporate-Acts Data?

• B2B lead generation — newly incorporated companies (act_type_code: "constitucion") with registered address, corporate purpose and founding administrator in one row
• KYB / compliance monitoring — track officer appointments and removals on companies you already track, or watch a whole province for change
• M&A and legal research — capital increases/reductions, mergers and dissolutions as they're published, with the source PDF/HTML linked from every row
• Data vendors and analysts — a clean, typed feed of Spain's official company-formation registry instead of building your own text parser

How Borme Spain Corporate Acts Gazette Scraper Works

1. You give it a date range (or take the default: the last 7 days).
2. For each date, it reads that day's published gazette — every section, every province, in one pass.
3. Each entry's published text is parsed into typed fields: officers appointed/removed with role, capital amount as a number, corporate purpose, registered address, incorporation date, and more — matched against BORME's own act-type vocabulary (Constitución, Nombramientos, Ceses/Dimisiones, Ampliación/Reducción de capital, Disolución, Extinción, Cambio de domicilio, Fusión, and others).
4. The raw published text is always kept on the row too, so a clause form the parser doesn't recognize is never silently dropped.

Input

{
  "startDate": "2025-08-18",
  "endDate": "2025-08-22",
  "maxItems": 100
}

Field	Type	Default	Description
startDate	string	7 days before today	First publication date to fetch, inclusive (YYYY-MM-DD). BORME has published since 2009.
endDate	string	today	Last publication date to fetch, inclusive (YYYY-MM-DD).
maxItems	integer	15	Maximum number of corporate-act records to save. Set higher for a wider pull; there is no cap on how far back startDate can go.

Weekends and Spanish public holidays have no gazette issue — those dates are skipped, not treated as an error.

Pulling a full historical backfill

{
  "startDate": "2009-01-01",
  "endDate": "2026-09-26",
  "maxItems": 0
}

maxItems: 0 pulls everything in the date range. A full backfill is a large, long-running pull — see Resuming a large crawl below if it's capped or interrupted partway through.

A row's act_type_code can carry more than one code (e.g. "ceses_dimisiones; nombramientos") when the same publication both removes and appoints an officer in one entry — this is how BORME itself publishes it. Fields that don't apply to an entry's act type (e.g. officers_appointed on a change-of-address entry) come back as an empty array or null rather than a placeholder.

Resuming a large crawl

Every run emits a resumeCursor in its Output. If a large date-range pull stops before it finishes — because it hit maxItems, your spend cap (maxTotalChargeUsd), or was aborted — start a new run with the same input plus that resumeCursor to continue from where it left off.

• You are not re-charged for records the earlier run already delivered.
• Resume within your account's run-retention window — on the free tier, roughly your 10 most recent runs. Once the source run is pruned, its resumeCursor is no longer valid.
• resumeCursor is opaque — supply it unmodified.

FAQ

How far back does this go?

BORME has published daily since 2009. Set startDate to any date from 2009 onward to include it.

Why do some rows have act_type as two labels joined with a semicolon?

BORME itself publishes some entries with more than one act in a single paragraph — most commonly an officer removal followed immediately by a new appointment. Every recognised label present is listed, in the order it was published.

Why is nif_cif empty on most rows?

BORME's registry announcements generally don't carry a tax id — it's assigned separately from the mercantile registration this gazette covers. It appears mainly on insolvency-administrator appointment entries, where BORME publishes it directly.

What happens on a weekend or public holiday?

There's no gazette issue that day, so it's skipped — not treated as an error or a missing date.

Why Use Borme Spain Corporate Acts Gazette Scraper?

• Structured, not raw text — officer names, roles, capital amounts and corporate purpose come back as typed fields you can query, not a paragraph you have to parse yourself.
• Full coverage by construction — every province and every section for a given date comes back in the same pass; there's no province or section to add later.
• Nothing lost — the raw published text rides alongside the parsed fields on every row, even when a clause form isn't one of the common types.
