It has two run modes. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md. ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run. For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below. Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`). # README ## Austrian Business Directory & Company Register — WKO Firmen A-Z Scrapes Austria's Wirtschaftskammer (WKO) chamber-member register — the country's compulsory business directory, since every trade-licensed company in Austria has to join. Returns name, address, phone, email, website, legal form, VAT/UID number and Firmenbuch (company register) number, filtered by trade category and province. *** ### WKO Firmen A-Z Scraper Features - Filters by **814 official trade categories** and all **9 Austrian provinces**, or leave both empty to crawl the whole register - Pulls contact details straight off the listing — name, phone, email, website, street address - Adds VAT/UID number, Firmenbuch number, legal form, founding year and a company description from each company's own profile page - Skips duplicate companies automatically when the same business turns up under more than one trade category - Resumable — a run that stops partway through picks back up without re-charging for records you already have *** ### Who Uses an Austrian Company Register Scraper? - **Outbound sales teams** — build a prospect list of Austrian companies in a specific trade and province, complete with phone and email - **KYB and compliance vendors** — match a company name to its VAT/UID and Firmenbuch number for verification workflows - **Market-entry researchers** — measure how many businesses operate in a given trade across Austria's provinces before committing to a market - **DACH-region data vendors** — extend a Germany dataset into Austria using the same trade-category taxonomy *** ### How WKO Firmen A-Z Scraper Works 1. You pick one or more trade categories and provinces (or leave both empty for everything) 2. The scraper walks the WKO directory's listing pages for each combination, paging through to the end of the results 3. For each company found, it visits the company's own profile page to add VAT/UID, Firmenbuch number, legal form and founding year 4. Records land in your dataset as they're found — flat JSON, one row per company *** ### Input ```json { "maxItems": 10, "branchen": ["installateur"], "bundeslaender": ["wien"], "fetchDetailPages": true } ``` | Field | Type | Default | Description | |--------------------|---------|---------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | `maxItems` | Integer | `10` | Maximum number of records to return. `0` runs unlimited — every selected category × province combination, to exhaustion. | | `branchen` | Array | `[]` | Trade categories to search, from WKO's own 814-category taxonomy. Empty means all of them. | | `bundeslaender` | Array | `[]` | Provinces to search, from the 9 Austrian Bundesländer. Empty means all of them. | | `fetchDetailPages` | Boolean | `true` | Visit each company's profile page for VAT/UID, Firmenbuch number, legal form, founding year and description. Turn off for a faster run of just the public listing (name, address, phone, email, website). | | `resumeCursor` | String | — | Cursor from a previous run's Output. Leave empty for a fresh crawl. | #### Resuming a large crawl Every run emits a `resumeCursor` in its Output. If a large crawl 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. The crawl resumes from the queued work the previous run didn't reach. - 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. *** ### WKO Firmen A-Z Scraper Output Fields ```json { "firmaid": "a3a7cfa6-77d1-452f-aad2-05202925f071", "name": "Brantner Österreich GmbH", "legal_form": "GmbH", "branche": "Abfallsammler und -behandler", "branchen_all": ["Abfallsammler und -behandler"], "gewerbe": ["Abfallsammler und -behandler"], "street": "Hutweide 1", "postal_code": "7041", "city": "Wulkaprodersdorf", "bezirk": "Eisenstadt-Umgebung", "bundesland": "Burgenland", "phone": "01 524 74 00", "email": "office@example.at", "website": "https://www.example.at", "uid_number": "ATU61631201", "firmenbuch_number": "475207i", "founded_year": 2004, "description": "Full-service waste management contractor covering Burgenland and Vienna.", "member_since": "2022-11-25", "listing_url": "https://firmen.wko.at/brantner-oesterreich-gmbh/burgenland/?firmaid=...", "source_query_branche": "abfallbehandler", "source_query_ort": "burgenland", "scraped_at": "2026-09-20T15:38:10.390Z" } ``` | Field | Type | Description | |------------------------|---------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | `firmaid` | String | WKO's own internal ID for the company — the stable key across runs. | | `name` | String | Company name. | | `legal_form` | String | Legal form (GmbH, e.U., KG, OG, AG, etc.), where published. | | `branche` | String | Primary trade category on the company's own profile. | | `branchen_all` | Array | Every trade category the company holds a licence for. | | `gewerbe` | Array | Full licensed trade descriptions (Gewerbewortlaut) behind those categories. | | `street` | String | Street address. | | `postal_code` | String | Postal code. | | `city` | String | City. | | `bezirk` | String | District (Bezirk), where derivable from the company's licensing authority. | | `bundesland` | String | Province — one of the 9 Austrian Bundesländer. | | `phone` | String | Phone number, where published. | | `email` | String | Email address, where published. | | `website` | String | Company website, where published. | | `uid_number` | String | Austrian VAT/UID number, where published. | | `firmenbuch_number` | String | Firmenbuch (commercial register) number. | | `founded_year` | Integer | Year the company was founded, where published. | | `description` | String | Company description from its own profile page, where published. | | `member_since` | String | Earliest WKO membership/licence grant date on record (ISO date). | | `listing_url` | String | Direct link to the company's WKO profile page. | | `source_query_branche` | String | The trade category slug this record was found under. | | `source_query_ort` | String | The province slug this record was found under. | | `scraped_at` | String | When this record was collected. | *** ### FAQ #### How do I scrape the WKO Firmen A-Z directory? WKO Firmen A-Z Scraper needs no account and no API key. Pick a trade category and a province — or leave both blank — set a `maxItems` cap, and run it. You get back a dataset of companies with contact details and registry numbers. #### What data can I get from the WKO directory? Company name, address, phone, email, website, legal form, VAT/UID number, Firmenbuch number, founding year and trade licenses. Contact details and registry numbers are only as complete as what each company chose to publish — some sole traders list a name and address and nothing else. #### Can I filter by trade category and province? Yes. `branchen` takes any of WKO's 814 official trade categories, `bundeslaender` takes any of the 9 provinces, and you can combine both. Leave either empty to cover every value on that axis. #### How much does this cost to run? Billed per record via Apify's pay-per-event pricing, plus a small per-run start fee. Turn off `fetchDetailPages` for a cheaper, faster run of just the listing fields if you don't need VAT/UID or Firmenbuch numbers. #### Do I need to know German to use this? No. The `branchen` values are WKO's own German-language trade category names, presented as a dropdown in the Apify Console — you don't need to type any German, just pick from the list. *** ### Need More Features?

E.g. lead lists, KYB checks, price tracking. ## `sp_improvement_suggestions` (type: `string`): Provide any feedback or suggestions for improvements. ## `sp_contact` (type: `string`): We'll personally help with your use case. No spam. ## `resumeCursor` (type: `string`): Leave empty for a fresh crawl. To CONTINUE a previous run where it stopped — without paying again for records you already received — paste the `resumeCursor` value from that run's Output (the run's OUTPUT key). Resume promptly: the previous run's data expires with your account's retention window (free tier: your ~10 most recent runs). ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of records to scrape. 0 = unlimited (crawls every selected Branche x Bundesland combination to exhaustion). ## `branchen` (type: `array`): WKO's official Branchen A-Z trade categories to search. Leave empty to crawl ALL 814 categories (the full compulsory-membership census). ## `bundeslaender` (type: `array`): Austrian provinces to search. Leave empty to crawl ALL 9 provinces. ## `fetchDetailPages` (type: `boolean`): Visit each company's own profile page to add VAT/UID number, Firmenbuch (company register) number, legal form, founded year and description. Turn off for a faster, lighter run of just the public directory listing (name, address, phone, email, website). ## Actor input object example ```json { "sp_intended_usage": "Describe your intended use...", "sp_improvement_suggestions": "Share your suggestions here...", "sp_contact": "Share your email here...", "maxItems": 10, "branchen": [], "bundeslaender": [], "fetchDetailPages": true } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `results` (type: `string`): No description # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
