Dun & Bradstreet Companies Scraper

Scrape company firmographics from the Dun & Bradstreet business directory (dnb.com, 120M+ business records) — by industry and geography, or from URLs you paste. Returns clean, structured JSON: company name, DUNS identifier, full address, sales revenue, industries with NAICS context, website, and ranking. MCP-ready for AI agents.

What you get

One record per company:

Field	Description
companyName	Primary company name
duns	D&B profile identifier (hashed DUNS)
profileUrl	Link to the company's D&B directory profile
website	Company website (enriched)
streetAddress, locality, region, regionCode, postalCode, countryName, countryCode, fullAddress	Structured address
salesRevenue	Sales revenue as published by D&B
primaryIndustry, industries	Industry name(s) (enriched)
fortuneRank, fortuneRankLabel	Ranking, e.g. Fortune 1000 revenue rank (enriched)
principalCount, contactCount	Counts of directors / contacts D&B lists (enriched)
competitorIndustry, similarCompanies	Competitive context (enriched)
financialYears	Reported financial years (enriched)
scrapedAt, sourceUrl	Provenance

When to use it

• Lead generation & sales prospecting — build company lists by industry + region with DUNS numbers.
• Market & competitor research — size an industry, pull the companies in it, see revenue and ranking.
• Data enrichment — resolve a D&B profile URL into a structured firmographic record.
• AI agents (MCP) — a clean query/URL-in, JSON-out tool for company intelligence.

Not for: deep paid D&B Hoovers data (individual contact emails, detailed financial statements). Those are behind D&B's paywall and are returned as null.

Input

Two ways to drive it — use either or both:

1. Search mode — by industry and geography:

{
  "industryPath": "oil_and_gas_extraction",
  "countryIsoCode": "us",
  "regionName": "texas",
  "maxResults": 100,
  "enrichDetails": true
}

2. URL mode — paste D&B directory or profile URLs (auto-detected):

{
  "startUrls": [
    "https://www.dnb.com/business-directory/company-information.software_publishers.us.california.html",
    "https://www.dnb.com/business-directory/company-profiles.apple_inc.ec7f550b3a97b94d919d837672573959.html"
  ],
  "maxResults": 50,
  "enrichDetails": true
}

• industryPath — the underscore slug exactly as it appears in a dnb.com industry-analysis.<slug>.html URL (e.g. software_publishers, construction, oil_and_gas_extraction).
• countryIsoCode — 2-letter ISO code (default us).
• regionName — optional state/region slug (e.g. california, texas). Omit for whole-country.
• maxResults — 1–1000. D&B caps any single industry+region listing at 1000 companies.
• enrichDetails — true (default) fetches each company's full profile; false is faster (listing data only).

Pricing

Pay-per-event:

• Actor start — $0.00005 per run.
• Company scraped — $0.006 per company returned.

A 100-company enriched run costs about $0.60. You only pay for companies actually returned.

Use via API

from apify_client import ApifyClient
client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")
run = client.actor("khadinakbar/dnb-companies-scraper").call(run_input={
    "industryPath": "construction",
    "countryIsoCode": "us",
    "regionName": "texas",
    "maxResults": 200,
})
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item["companyName"], item.get("salesRevenue"))

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';
const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' });
const run = await client.actor('khadinakbar/dnb-companies-scraper').call({
    startUrls: ['https://www.dnb.com/business-directory/company-information.software_publishers.us.california.html'],
    maxResults: 100,
});
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(items);

FAQ

How do I find an industry slug? Open any industry on dnb.com's business directory; the URL is …/industry-analysis.<slug>.html. Use that <slug>.

Why are some financial / contact fields empty? D&B keeps deep financial statements and individual contact details behind its paid D&B Hoovers subscription. This actor returns the public firmographic layer; gated fields come back as null.

How many companies can I get per industry? D&B caps a single industry+region listing at 1000 companies (20 pages × 50). Narrow by regionName to slice a large industry into states.

Do I need a proxy? No special setup — the actor defaults to Apify datacenter (US) and handles the rest.
