D&B Company Scraper - Business Directory Data

Dun and Bradstreet Company Directory Scraper

Scrape company firmographic data from the Dun and Bradstreet business directory, the public-facing index of D&B's 234M+ company profiles. Returns company name, DUNS number, address, phone, website, industry classification, NAICS/SIC codes, revenue range, employee count, founding year, parent company, and key executives — searchable by company name, location, NAICS/SIC code, or direct profile URL.

D&B Company Scraper Features

• Extracts 20+ firmographic fields per company record
• Searches by company name, location filter, NAICS/SIC industry code, or direct profile URLs
• Defaults to sitemap-driven discovery — samples D&B's business-directory sitemap index for broad coverage
• Returns DUNS numbers, parent company relationships, and pipe-delimited executive lists with titles
• Handles the managed JS challenge automatically
• Pay-per-event pricing tied to records returned, not pages crawled

Who Uses D&B Company Data?

• B2B sales teams — build prospecting lists by NAICS code, region, or revenue band, then push them into a CRM
• Compliance and risk analysts — verify vendor identity and corporate hierarchy via DUNS numbers and parent-company links
• Market researchers — quantify company counts by industry, geography, or revenue tier
• M&A and corporate development teams — screen acquisition targets by industry and size band before opening a data room
• Lead generation agencies — enrich existing contact lists with firmographics and verified addresses

How D&B Company Scraper Works

1. You pick a mode — a search term (optionally narrowed by location and NAICS/SIC code), a list of D&B profile URLs, or nothing at all for sitemap-driven discovery.
2. The scraper resolves the input to a queue of company profile URLs on dnb.com.
3. Each profile loads in a real browser, the bot challenge resolves itself, and the firmographic fields are pulled from JSON-LD, meta tags, and the hydrated DOM.
4. Records are emitted with a normalized schema, capped at your maxItems limit.

Input

Search by company name:

{
  "searchTerm": "Acme Corporation",
  "maxItems": 25
}

Narrow a name search by country or city, and by NAICS/SIC code:

{
  "searchTerm": "software",
  "location": "Hamburg, Germany",
  "industryCode": "5415",
  "maxItems": 100
}

A search needs a searchTerm (at least 3 characters); location and industryCode narrow it. A run with only a location or code stops with an explicit error instead of returning an empty dataset.

Direct profile URLs for targeted extraction:

{
  "companyUrls": [
    "https://www.dnb.com/business-directory/company-profiles.acme_corp.123456.html",
    "https://www.dnb.com/business-directory/company-profiles.another_co.789012.html"
  ]
}

Sitemap discovery (default — no filters):

{
  "maxItems": 50
}

FAQ

How do I scrape company data from Dun and Bradstreet?

D&B Company Scraper runs from the Apify console — pick a search term, a NAICS code, a list of profile URLs, or leave everything blank for sitemap-driven discovery. The scraper handles search resolution, bot challenges, and field extraction. You get one record per company.

Can I look up companies by NAICS or SIC code?

D&B Company Scraper accepts NAICS or SIC codes via the industryCode field. Pass 541511 for Custom Computer Programming, 622110 for general hospitals, or whichever classification you care about. The scraper filters the directory to that code.

Can I scrape specific companies by URL?

Yes. Drop D&B profile URLs into companyUrls and the scraper goes straight to those pages, skipping search and sitemap discovery. Useful when you have a vendor list and want firmographic enrichment for exactly that list.

How fresh is the data?

D&B Company Scraper hits the live business directory on every run, so each record reflects whatever D&B is publishing at the moment. D&B updates its public profiles continuously based on filings, registrations, and verified vendor updates.

How much does it cost to run?

D&B Company Scraper is pay-per-event. You're charged per company record returned. Sitemap discovery, search resolution, and challenge handling are all included — no separate page fees.

Why Use D&B Company Scraper?

• Four input modes, one actor — Search term, NAICS/SIC code, direct URLs, or sitemap discovery. Pick the one that matches your workflow instead of stitching three scrapers together.
• Bot protection handled — the actor returns records instead of "Just a moment" challenge pages.
• DUNS numbers and parent-company hierarchy — Returned as first-class fields, not buried in unstructured profile text. Useful when you're verifying entities for compliance or rolling up subsidiaries.
