Dun & Bradstreet Company Scraper

Dun & Bradstreet Company Scraper - DUNS, Revenue & Employee Data

Scrape company profiles from the Dun & Bradstreet business directory by keyword or direct URL. Every company comes with its 9-digit DUNS number, employee count, annual revenue, industries, corporate role, named principal, and full address. No login or API key. Export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML.

D&B's official API needs a paid subscription, a contract, and strict usage limits. This reads the public company directory directly, filtered by country, family-tree role, and employee range, and returns each match in one fixed schema.

Who uses it	What they scrape Dun & Bradstreet for
Sales and RevOps teams	Prospect lists keyed by DUNS, with revenue and headcount for scoring
Market researchers	Industry landscapes sized by revenue and employees
Recruiters	Companies filtered by headcount and country for talent sourcing
Investors and analysts	Screening private companies that file nothing publicly
Data teams	DUNS numbers to reconcile CRM, ERP, and vendor records

What it does

This Actor collects Dun & Bradstreet company profiles by search query or direct URL, and returns each one as a flat row.

• 🔍 Search query: a company name or keyword like "Apple" or "logistics" returns matching profiles.
• 🔗 Direct URLs: paste D&B company profile URLs to pull specific companies, or D&B search URLs to run their query.
• 🌍 Country filter: restrict results to one country with an ISO Alpha-2 code like US, DE, or GB.
• 🏢 Family-tree role: parent, branch, subsidiary, domestic ultimate, or global ultimate.
• 👥 Employee range: minimum and maximum headcount, applied by D&B before results are returned.
• 📊 Detail enrichment: one extra request per company adds the DUNS number, employee count, revenue, website, industries, ranks, and the named key principal.
• 🌐 Split by country: re-runs a query once per country so a single keyword can return far more than the directory's 1,000-row-per-query ceiling.

What you can do with Dun & Bradstreet data

🎯 Build a scored B2B prospect list.

Search "software" with countryCode: US and minEmployees: 50, turn on detail enrichment, and every row lands with revenue and headcount to sort by.

Detail enrichment returns the real 9-digit DUNS number, which is the join key between your CRM, your ERP, and most vendor-risk databases.

Which fields come from where. Search results alone give you the identity and address block. Everything else needs Include company details, which fetches the company's profile page.

What D&B does not expose publicly, and this Actor therefore does not return: phone numbers, year founded or incorporated, legal company type, the full contact roster beyond the key principal, and the named levels of the corporate family tree. D&B blanks those out for anonymous visitors and sells them through D&B Hoovers. totalContacts still tells you how many contacts exist behind that wall. The employee-range filter works even though those values are gated, because D&B applies it server-side.

Configure the run

Drive the Actor from a search query, several queries, or direct D&B URLs. Filters are applied by D&B before results come back, so only matches reach your dataset. The Input tab lists every parameter.

A first run with the defaults:

{
  "searchQuery": "Apple",
  "maxItems": 10,
  "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"] }
}

A scored prospect list:

{
  "searchQuery": "logistics",
  "countryCode": "US",
  "minEmployees": 50,
  "includeDetails": true,
  "maxItems": 1000,
  "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"] }
}

Past the per-query ceiling, with several keywords and a country fan-out:

{
  "searchQueries": ["freight forwarder", "customs broker", "shipbroker"],
  "splitByCountry": true,
  "includeDetails": true,
  "maxItems": 20000,
  "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"] }
}

The 1,000-row ceiling. D&B stops paginating a query after its 1,000th row, whatever page size you ask for. A query with 300,000 matches still serves only the first 1,000. Three ways past it, and they combine: add more queries in Additional search queries, narrow with Country, or turn on Split by country to re-run each query once per country D&B reports for it. The run logs a warning whenever a query hits the ceiling with matches left behind.

Pricing

Pay-per-event: $15.99 per 1,000 result items, dropping to $11.99 at higher volume. You pay only for the company rows written to your dataset — nothing is billed for a company D&B refused to return, and detail enrichment is included at no extra charge.

Companies collected	Approximate cost
100	$1.60
1,000	$15.99
10,000	$159.90

Higher monthly volume moves you down a discount tier: Bronze $14.66, Silver $13.34, Gold and above $11.99 per 1,000. New Apify accounts start with $5 in free credit.

Free users

Free-plan runs return up to 10 companies as a preview. Upgrade your Apify plan to lift the limit.

Run it

1. Create a free Apify account with $5 in credit.
2. Open the Dun & Bradstreet Company Scraper.
3. Set your query and filters, then click Start.
4. Export the results as CSV, Excel, JSON, or XML from the Dataset tab.

Run it programmatically through the Apify API (run-sync-get-dataset-items) or the ApifyClient for JavaScript and Python.

Use with AI agents (MCP)

Give an AI agent live access to Dun & Bradstreet through the Model Context Protocol. Add the Actor to Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client:

$claude mcp add --transport http apify "https://mcp.apify.com?tools=parseforge/dnb-scraper"

Then prompt it in plain language to run the scraper and read back the results.

Troubleshooting

Why am I getting no results?

The run fails with an explicit message when D&B reports zero matches. Broaden the search query, and relax the country, family-tree role, and employee filters — a narrow employee range with a country filter can legitimately match nothing.

My query has 300,000 matches but I only got 1,000.

That is D&B's per-query ceiling, not a bug. Add more keywords under Additional search queries, set a Country, or turn on Split by country.

Employees, revenue, or DUNS are missing.

Turn on Include company details. Those fields live on the company profile page, not in search results, so they are empty on rows collected without it.

Phone and year founded are always empty.

D&B masks them for anonymous visitors. They are not scraped and are not billed. See the field table above.

The run is slow.

Detail enrichment costs one extra request per company. Turn it off, or lower Maximum companies, if you only need the identity and address block.

I get blocked or see 403s.

D&B guards its directory with a Cloudflare challenge. The Actor clears it with a real browser at the start of the run and then reads the directory API through that cleared session, so nothing extra is needed from you. Leave the proxy on RESIDENTIAL: the datacenter pool is refused on top of the challenge. If a run does fail end to end, it is because none of the exits it drew could clear the challenge — re-running draws a new set.

The first rows take longer than the rest.

Clearing the Cloudflare challenge costs one browser start, usually 15 to 25 seconds, once per run. Every page and profile after that is a plain JSON request, so a long run pays that start-up once.

FAQ

Question	Answer
Do I need a Dun & Bradstreet API key?	No. This Actor reads the public D&B business directory, so no registration, contract, or API key is required.
Is this the same data as D&B Hoovers?	No. It is the public directory subset. Hoovers sells the full commercial database, including the fields listed as unavailable above.
Do I get a real DUNS number?	Yes, the 9-digit DUNS, when Include company details is on. The companyId field is D&B's internal profile hash, which is not a DUNS number.
How many companies can I collect in one run?	As many as your queries return. D&B serves at most 1,000 rows per query, so volume comes from more queries, a country filter, or Split by country.
Can I scrape a specific company by URL?	Yes. Paste D&B company profile URLs into D&B URLs and each one is fetched directly.
Can I filter by country?	Yes, with an ISO Alpha-2 code like US, DE, or GB.
What is the difference between the roles?	They are D&B family-tree positions: Parent/Headquarters, Branch/Division, Subsidiary, Domestic Ultimate, and Global Ultimate.
Does the Actor handle pagination?	Yes, up to D&B's 1,000-row ceiling per query.
What does it cost?	$15.99 per 1,000 company rows, down to $11.99 at higher volume. Detail enrichment is included at no extra charge.
Can I export the data?	Yes: CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML from the dataset, or straight from the API.
