Website to Company: Impressum & Mentions Légales Scraper

Give it a list of websites. Get back the legal entity behind each one, verified. The Actor reads the site's legal-notice pages (🇫🇷 mentions légales, 🇩🇪 Impressum, 🇪🇸 aviso legal, 🇮🇹 note legali, terms and privacy pages), extracts the company identifiers, skips the hosting provider's, and checks the company in official registries and the EU VIES VAT service.

Also known as: Impressum scraper, imprint scraper, mentions légales scraper, legal notice extractor, domain to company, website to SIREN, VAT number from website, company from domain enrichment. 🇫🇷 trouver le SIREN d'un site web, extraire les mentions légales · 🇩🇪 Impressum auslesen, Firma hinter Domain finden.

• Identifiers found: French SIREN/SIRET and RCS, EU VAT numbers (all 27 member states + XI, checksum-validated for France), Norwegian org.nr, Finnish Y-tunnus, Czech IČO, LEI, and German/Austrian trade-register entries (HRB/HRA/FN, kept as information).
• Verification: official register for 🇫🇷 France, 🇳🇴 Norway, 🇫🇮 Finland, 🇨🇿 Czechia (name, status, legal form, address, activity code), live EU VIES VAT check, BODACC insolvency notices (FR), optional GLEIF LEI.
• One clear row per website with a status, a verdict (verified / review / inactive) and the reasons behind it.

Use cases: lead qualification and CRM enrichment (domain → SIREN/VAT), supplier and customer onboarding (KYB), marketplace seller checks, fraud checks ("is there a real, active company behind this site?"), invoice data cleaning. It also works as a tool for AI agents over MCP.

Pricing (pay per event)

• $0.004 per company identified (company-identified): a checksum-valid company identifier was found on the site.
• +$0.005 per company verified (company-verified): the company was found in an official register or VIES (verdict verified, review or inactive).
• Free: blocked sites, sites without identifiers, invalid inputs, errors, sole traders.
• Set a maximum cost per run: the Actor stops cleanly before going over it.

Use it from AI agents (MCP)

{ "mcpServers": { "apify": { "url": "https://mcp.apify.com?tools=ostrata/website-company-check" } } }

"Which company is behind acme.fr, and is its VAT number valid?"

How it crawls (and what it doesn't do)

• Fetches robots.txt first and obeys it (group website-company-check or *, longest-match rules, Crawl-delay up to 10 s). A robots.txt answering 401/403/429/5xx is treated as "do not crawl".
• One plain HTTP GET per page, no browser, no retries, no proxies, no CAPTCHA solving, at least 1 second between pages of the same site, max 4 pages per site by default (homepage + legal pages).
• Sites protected by bot-detection (Cloudflare, DataDome…) are reported as blocked and are free. We do not try to get around them.

Limitations

• Pages that only render with JavaScript are not read.
• Germany, Spain and some other countries never return the company name in VIES: you get vatValid and the VAT number, legalName: null. Register adapters exist for FR, NO, FI and CZ.
• When a site names several group companies, the Actor picks the one presented as publisher with the most consistent identifiers; the others are in otherIdentifiers.
• Results reflect the sources at query time. This is a data tool, not legal advice.

Privacy

Only company identifiers are extracted. Names of directors or publication managers, emails and phone numbers on legal pages are never stored or returned. Sole traders (natural persons) are excluded by default and not billed.

🇫🇷 En bref

Du site web à l'entreprise vérifiée. L'Actor lit les mentions légales (ou CGU, politique de confidentialité, Impressum…) d'une liste de sites, extrait le SIREN/SIRET, le numéro de TVA intracommunautaire et les autres identifiants, écarte ceux de l'hébergeur (OVH, IONOS, Gandi…), puis vérifie l'entreprise dans le registre officiel (API Recherche d'entreprises), dans VIES et dans le BODACC.

0,004 $ par entreprise identifiée + 0,005 $ si elle est vérifiée. Sites bloqués, sans identifiant ou en erreur : gratuits. Requêtes HTTP simples, robots.txt respecté, aucune donnée personnelle (ni dirigeants, ni e-mails, ni téléphones), entrepreneurs individuels exclus.
