Eastern Europe Company Registry Scraper

Pull official company-registry data from Poland (KRS), Czech Republic (ARES), and Slovakia (ORSR) in one unified output. Useful for EU sanctions screening, KYC, M&A research, and pan-European B2B enrichment.

All three sources are open public registries — no captcha, no proxy, no auth.

What You Get

A single normalized record per company, regardless of source country:

• registry_id — KRS number (PL), IČO (CZ), or IČO (SK)
• country — PL / CZ / SK
• legal_name, legal_form, status, incorporation_date
• nip_vat — tax ID (NIP for PL, DIČ for CZ)
• regon_id — REGON statistical number (PL)
• address, address_city, address_postal_code, address_country
• industry_codes, industries — NACE / PKD / OKEČ classifications
• capital, currency — registered share capital
• board_members — statutory body / management
• partners — shareholders / partners (where published)
• last_update_date, source_url, scraped_at

How To Use

Pick which countries to query in the Countries field, then provide country-specific input:

Poland (KRS)

The Polish public registry exposes a lookup-by-KRS-number API only — there is no public name-search endpoint. Provide a list of 10-digit KRS numbers in pl_krs_numbers. You can find KRS numbers at https://wyszukiwarka-krs.ms.gov.pl/.

• pl_krs_register — P = entrepreneurs/companies (default), S = associations & foundations
• pl_krs_full_extract — fetch the full historical extract instead of just the current state. Slower and much larger response per company.

Czech Republic (ARES)

ARES supports both name search and direct IČO lookup. Use either or both:

• cz_search_name — partial name match (Czech diacritics supported)
• cz_ico_numbers — list of 8-digit IČO numbers for direct lookup

Slovakia (ORSR)

Slovak ORSR supports name search only:

• sk_search_name — partial name match (Slovak diacritics supported)

Global

• maxItems — caps total records across all countries

What's Not Covered (Yet)

This actor covers the three open, captcha-free, non-geofenced registries. Three other Eastern European countries from the original brief require dedicated actors with country-specific proxies and captcha solving:

• Romania (ONRC) — geofenced + captcha on search portal
• Hungary (e-cégjegyzék) — SPA with strict referrer enforcement
• Ukraine (USR) — geofenced + Cyrillic encoding + heavy login wall

Those are tracked as separate actors. Contact us if you need them prioritized.

Pricing

Pay-Per-Event:

• $0.10 per actor start
• $0.001 per company record

A typical lookup of 50 companies costs about $0.15.

Limitations

• Polish KRS personal data is masked with asterisks (J**** K*******) by the Ministry of Justice for privacy reasons. The role and structure are preserved; only the personal name is redacted.
• No real-time monitoring — each run is a snapshot at request time. Re-run the actor to pick up changes.
• Slovak ORSR detail pages are served in windows-1250 encoding (legacy ASP) — the actor decodes them transparently, but expect occasional special characters to differ from the canonical Latin-2 form.
