Norway Company Registry Scraper — Brreg Leads

---

📌 Overview

The Brreg Scraper turns brreg.no — Brønnøysundregistrene's Enhetsregisteret, Norway's official company registry — into an analysis-ready dataset. It reads directly from the brreg API (data.brreg.no/enhetsregisteret), the same open data the registry publishes, so there is no login, no API key and no captcha.

For every Norwegian company you get the organisation number, legal form, industry (NACE) code, email, phone, website, full business address, employee count, registration & founding dates and VAT / bankruptcy / liquidation status — and optionally the CEO (daglig leder) and board chair (styreleder) as director leads.

Perfect for Norway B2B lead generation, sales prospecting, market research, CRM enrichment, KYC / compliance and competitor mapping — exported to CSV, Excel, JSON or pushed to Google Sheets and your CRM via API.

✅ Combine an industry code + municipality filter and raise maxResults to assemble a large, targeted Norwegian prospect list in a single run.

❓ What does the Brreg / Norway company registry scraper do?

It queries the official Enhetsregisteret API with your filters, flattens brreg's nested JSON into clean spreadsheet-ready columns, de-dupes by organisation number, paginates automatically and (optionally) enriches each company with its CEO and chair from the /roller endpoint. You set filters in a simple form; you get a structured dataset back — no code, no registry account, no NACE-API integration work.

❓ FAQ

Is there a free Brreg API?

Yes. Brønnøysundregistrene publishes the Enhetsregisteret as a fully open, free JSON API (data.brreg.no/enhetsregisteret) — no key, no login, no signup, no rate-limit registration. This actor is a friendly, filterable export layer on top of it: set filters in a form, run, and download a clean dataset with pagination handled and nested fields flattened.

How do I export Norwegian company data to Excel?

Every run writes one row per company to a dataset you can export to Excel, CSV, JSON or HTML, or pull via the Apify API. Set your filters (industry, municipality, VAT, etc.), run, and use the Export button to download an .xlsx / .csv of the whole Norwegian company segment.

Does it include company emails and phone numbers?

It returns the email, phone, mobile and website that each company registered with brreg (epostadresse, telefon, mobil, hjemmeside). These come straight from the official registry — but not every company registers them. On broad queries the fill rate for email/phone/website is often single-digit %; filtering registrertIMvaregisteret=true surfaces more active, trading firms that are far more likely to have contact details.

Can I get CEO / director names?

Yes — turn on includeRoles and the actor fetches each company's roles from the /roller endpoint and adds CEO (daglig leder) and board chair (styreleder) names. This adds one request per company, so use rolesConcurrency to control speed.

Is scraping brreg.no legal?

This actor reads only the official open data that Brønnøysundregistrene publishes under Norway's open data licence (NLOD) via its public API — no login or circumvention involved. As always, credit the source (brreg.no / Enhetsregisteret) and follow brreg's terms and applicable law for your specific use case.

How do I find industry (NACE) or municipality codes?

NACE / naeringskode codes use the nn.nnn format (e.g. 47.111 grocery, 41.200 building construction, 73.110 advertising). Municipality codes (kommunenummer) are 4 digits (0301 Oslo, 4601 Bergen). You can also just use query for a name search and read the industryCode / municipalityCode columns in the output.

Is this a Brreg API alternative for bulk download?

Yes — it's the easiest brreg API alternative for non-developers: no code, automatic pagination, nested JSON flattened to columns, and direct export to CSV / Excel / JSON.

📈 Notes on coverage & limits

• Contact-detail fill rate varies. email, phone, mobile and website only appear when the company registered them. On broad queries this is often single-digit % — many entities (especially dormant or very small firms) leave them blank. Filter registrertIMvaregisteret=true (and/or konkurs=false) to focus on active, contactable businesses.
• ~10,000 results per query. The Enhetsregisteret API hard-caps deep pagination at about 10k records per query. For larger segments, split your run by municipality, postcode or registration-date range and combine the datasets.
• Main entities only. This actor scrapes main companies (/enheter); sub-units / business locations (/underenheter) are out of scope.
