How does Kart.1881 Scraper work?

1. It runs each search query against the directory you picked.
2. It moves through the result pages until it reaches your limit or 1881 has no more results.
3. It skips results it has already saved in this run.
4. If you turned on full details, it opens each new result and adds its contact data.
5. It saves each row to your dataset as it goes, so a stopped run keeps its results.

How much does it cost to scrape Kart.1881?

Kart.1881 Scraper uses pay-per-event pricing. Compute and proxy costs are included in the event price.

Event	Free	Bronze	Silver	Gold
result-scraped, per 1,000	$2.99	$2.49	$1.99	$1.49
details-scraped, per 1,000	$0.99	$0.99	$0.99	$0.99

A result event fires for each row saved. A details event fires only when you turn on full details and the result's details open successfully. On the Free tier, 1,000 companies cost $2.99 without details and $3.98 with them. On Gold, the same runs cost $1.49 and $2.48.

Duplicates, unsearchable queries and queries with no results cost nothing. To cap your spending, set a maximum cost per run in the run options. The run stops at that limit and keeps what it saved.

Is it legal to scrape Kart.1881?

Kart.1881 Scraper only collects data that 1881 shows publicly, without logging in. Web scraping of public data is generally legal, but what you may do with the data depends on your purpose and your country. You can read more in Is web scraping legal?

Person results and many sole-trader listings are personal data. The GDPR applies in Norway through the EEA, so you need a lawful basis to store or use them. Before any direct marketing, also check Norway's marketing rules and the Reservation Register (Reservasjonsregisteret). Check 1881's terms too, and ask a lawyer if you are unsure. This section is not legal advice.

FAQ

Do I need a 1881 account or an API key? No. The scraper only reads what kart.1881.no shows to any visitor.

How many results can I get per query? As many as 1881 returns for that search. In our tests, restaurant in the company directory returned over 14,000 results, while storgata in the address directory stopped at 76. Address searches return far fewer results than company and person searches.

Why does an address result have no house number? Without full details, 1881 can list a street without its number, such as Storgata, 0155 Oslo. Turn on full details to get the exact address, or include the number in your search.

How can I search within one town? Add the town to the query, such as restaurant bergen. There's no separate location filter.

Why did my query return nothing? Check the run log. 1881 answers text it can't search, such as ..., a single letter, or a word with a long string of nonsense after it, with a fixed list of unrelated entries. The scraper detects this, skips the query, logs a warning and charges nothing. Try a simpler search.

Can I look up a phone number? Yes. Enter the number without spaces, such as 21507220, and choose the matching search type.

Why do some rows have a different phone number in contactList? phone is the main number. contactList holds whatever else the entry lists, such as a mobile number, a fax number or a named contact, and keeps the labels 1881 uses in Norwegian.

Are the opening hours in English? No. Day names stay in Norwegian (Mandag to Søndag) as 1881 shows them.

Can I schedule recurring runs? Yes. Use Apify Schedules to run daily, weekly or at any interval.

Something doesn't work. Where do I report it? Open a ticket on the Issues tab. Include your run link so we can look into it.
