🏢 Dun & Bradstreet Company Scraper

🕒 Last updated: 2026-05-05

Search and extract company data from Dun & Bradstreet's global directory of over 500 million business records. Collect company names, DUNS numbers, industries, locations, revenue, employee counts, key principals, competitors, and more - filterable by keyword, country, company size, and corporate hierarchy role.

The Dun & Bradstreet Company Scraper searches the world's largest commercial database, with DUNS numbers, revenue figures, employee counts, key contacts, industry classifications, and corporate hierarchy data for over 500 million businesses.

✨ What Does It Do

• 🏢 Company Profiles - business name, trade style name, company type, description, year founded, and DUNS number for unique identification
• 💰 Financial Data - revenue figures, sales growth percentage, and stock exchange listing for financial analysis
• 👥 Employee & Size Data - employee counts, key principal name and title, total principals, and total contacts per company
• 🏭 Industry Classification - primary industry name plus full industry list for sector-level analysis and segmentation
• 📍 Location Details - street address, city, region, zip code, and country for geographic filtering and market mapping
• 🔗 Corporate Hierarchy - company role (headquarters, branch, subsidiary) and competitor count for understanding organizational structure
• 🌐 Web & Contact - company website URL and phone number for outreach and lead enrichment
• 🔍 Flexible Search - search by keyword, filter by country, employee range, and corporate role, or paste D&B URLs directly

🔧 Input

• Search Query - company name or keyword to search (e.g. "Apple", "Goldman Sachs", "pharma")
• Max Results - number of companies to collect. Free users: up to 100. Paid users: up to 1,000,000. Default: 10
• Start URLs - paste D&B search URLs or direct company profile URLs to override the search query
• Country Code - ISO Alpha-2 country code to filter results (e.g. US, DE, GB, CA)
• Company Role - filter by hierarchy: All, Parent/Headquarters, Branch/Division, or Subsidiary
• Min/Max Employees - filter companies by employee count range
• Include Detail Data - fetch additional fields per company: revenue, website, year founded, industries, competitors. Slower but richer output

Example input:

{
  "searchQuery": "Tesla",
  "maxItems": 25,
  "countryCode": "US",
  "includeDetails": true
}

📊 Output

Each result includes a structured company record. Basic search returns 12 fields; with detail enrichment enabled, up to 27 fields per company. Download as JSON, CSV, or Excel.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

💳 Do I need a paid Apify plan to run this actor?

No. You can start right now on the free Apify plan, which includes $5 in free monthly credit. That is enough to run this actor several times and explore the output before committing to anything. Paid plans unlock higher limits, more concurrent runs, and larger datasets. Create a free Apify account here to get started.

🚨 What happens if my run fails or returns no results?

Failed runs are not charged. If the source site changes, proxies get rate-limited, or a specific input matches nothing, re-run the actor or open our contact form and we will investigate. You can also check the run log in the Apify console to see why the run stopped.

📏 How many items can I scrape per run?

Free users are limited to 10 items per run so you can preview the output and confirm the actor works for your use case. Paid users can raise maxItems up to 1,000,000 per run. Upgrade here if you need full scale.

🕒 How fresh is the data?

Every run fetches live data at the moment of execution. There is no cache or delay: the records you get reflect what the source returned at that moment. Schedule the actor to maintain a rolling snapshot of the data you need.

🧑‍💻 Can I call this actor from my own code?

Yes. Apify exposes every actor as a REST endpoint and ships first-class SDKs for Node.js and Python. You can start a run, read the dataset, and handle webhooks from your own app in a few lines. All you need is your Apify API token.

📤 How do I export the data?

Every Apify dataset can be downloaded in one click from the console as CSV, JSON, JSONL, Excel, HTML, XML, or RSS. You can also pull results programmatically via the Apify API or stream them into BigQuery, S3, and other destinations through built-in integrations.

📅 Can I schedule the actor to run automatically?

Yes. Use the Apify scheduler to run the actor on any cadence, from hourly to monthly. Results are saved to your dataset and can be delivered to webhooks, email, Slack, cloud storage, or automation tools such as Zapier and Make.
