What it costs

Companies	This actor	Most used Norway company actors on the Store
1,000	$1.00	$3.00 to $50.00
10,000	$10.00	$30 to $500
100,000	$100.00	$300 to $5,000

Plus $0.001 per run. A daily run that collects the 200 newest registrations costs about $0.20 a day, or about $6 a month.

Why people switch

• One flat price. Platform usage is included, so the bill follows the number of companies and nothing else.
• Main entities and business sites. Search companies, associations and public bodies, or switch to sub-units (branches and sites) and list every site of one parent with parentOrganizationNumber.
• Past the register's 10,000 limit. One Brreg search stops at 10,000 results. For bigger runs the actor splits the search by municipality, organisation form and registration date by itself and drops repeats.
• Useful filters. Name, organisation number, municipality (name or number), NACE industry code, organisation form, employees, registration date, VAT register and status.
• Roles when you need them. Switch on includeRoles for the managing director, board and auditor, with names only.

Quick start

1. Open the actor, type a company name, press Start.
2. Or paste this input:

{ "unitType": "entities", "names": ["Equinor"], "status": "active", "sortBy": "employees", "maxItems": 50 }

3. Download the results as JSON, CSV or Excel, or read them through the API.

Use it from code

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/one_dollar_store~norway-company-register-brreg/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"municipalities": ["Bergen"], "industryCodes": ["62"], "organizationForms": ["AS"], "maxItems": 100}'

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN")
run = client.actor("one_dollar_store/norway-company-register-brreg").call(
    run_input={"municipalities": ["Bergen"], "industryCodes": ["62"], "organizationForms": ["AS"], "maxItems": 100}
)
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item["organizationNumber"], item["name"], item.get("employees"))

Limits

• One Brreg search returns at most 10,000 results. When you ask for more than that, the actor splits the search into smaller ones. A single slice that still holds more than 10,000 results is cut at 10,000 and the run summary says so.
• Name search matches the registered name, not trade names that are not in the register.
• The register has no revenue or profit figures. lastAnnualAccountsYear only tells you the year of the latest filed accounts.
• Contact fields (website, email, phone, mobile) exist only when the entity has registered them.
• minEmployees and maxEmployees use the number the entity has reported. Entities that report none are treated as 0.
• Roles give the role, the name and whether the role is still registered. Birth dates are left out on purpose. Roles are for main entities only and cost one extra request each.

FAQ

How much does it cost to scrape 10,000 Norwegian companies? $10, plus $0.001 for each run.

Do I pay for compute or proxy on top? No. Platform usage is included in the $1 per 1,000 price. The actor needs no proxy.

Where does the data come from? From the open Enhetsregisteret API of the Brønnøysund Register Centre (data.brreg.no). It is published under the Norwegian Licence for Open Government Data (NLOD 2.0), which allows commercial use. Source: Brønnøysund Register Centre.

Is it legal? The actor reads open register data only, with no login. NLOD 2.0 asks you to credit the source, so mention the Brønnøysund Register Centre when you publish the data. Names of role holders are personal data: use them in line with the GDPR and Norwegian law, and for business purposes only.

Is this an official Brreg product? No. It is an independent tool and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Brønnøysund Register Centre.

How do I find only new companies? Set sortBy to registeredNewest, or use registeredFrom, and schedule a daily run. Use organizationNumber to drop companies you already have.

Can I look up many organisation numbers at once? Yes. Put them in organizationNumbers. They are looked up in batches of 200, and maxItems still applies.

Do I need an Apify account? Yes. Actors run from an Apify account, and a free account is enough to start: it includes $5 of platform usage every month. You can sign up here. This is a referral link and it costs you nothing.

Is there a limit on the free plan? Yes. A run started from a free plan account delivers the first 10 results, then ends with a message and a link to the plans. Any paid plan returns everything you ask for, up to your own limit. The price per result is the same on every plan.
