Pull live company records from the Dun & Bradstreet (D&B) public business directory, the world's largest commercial database with over 500 million entities. The actor walks D&B search results with your filter combination, paginates through pages, and returns one structured record per company ready for sales prospecting, supply-chain due diligence, B2B enrichment, or competitive market mapping.

Every run fetches data live so you get the current state of D&B at run time. Records include the company name, trade style, DUNS number, industry classification, company type and role (parent / branch / subsidiary), revenue, employee count, year founded, key principal name and title, phone, full address, website, list of industries, list of competitors, and a back-reference URL.

👥 Built for	🎯 Primary use cases
Sales and BDR teams	Build prospect lists by industry and country
RevOps and CRM enrichment	Add DUNS and revenue to existing accounts
Supply chain and procurement	Vendor diligence and competitor mapping
Investment research	Map private companies in target markets
Compliance and KYC	Validate counterparty data with DUNS-keyed records
Researchers	Study industry composition and concentration

📋 What the D&B Scraper does

• 🔍 Keyword search. Pass a company name or industry keyword (e.g. pharma, Goldman Sachs).
• 🌍 Country filter. Restrict results by ISO Alpha-2 country code (US, DE, GB, etc.).
• 🏗️ Hierarchy role. Filter by parent, branch, subsidiary, or all.
• 👥 Employee size. Filter by min and max employee count.
• 🆔 DUNS number. Every record includes the unique D&B identifier.
• 🔗 Direct profile lookup. Pass D&B profile URLs in startUrls for direct enrichment of known companies.

The scraper accepts a search query plus filters, builds the matching D&B URL, walks the result pages, and pushes structured records to the dataset. Enable includeDetails to fetch each company's detail page for revenue, employees, year founded, industries list, and top competitors.

💡 Why it matters: D&B is the canonical source for company DUNS records but the public directory is paginated, JS-rendered, and filter-locked. A live, structured pull beats manual sourcing for B2B prospecting, KYC, and supply-chain mapping at scale.

⚠️ Good to Know: when startUrls is set, every other filter is ignored. Use it for ad-hoc enrichment from specific D&B URLs.
