Troubleshooting

Why am I getting no results?

Check your search query or start URLs. Ensure the country code is valid and the employee range is not too narrow. Try a broader query like a single keyword.

The run is slow or times out.

Reduce maxItems or disable Include Detail Data, which fetches an extra page per company. Also ensure your proxy configuration is set to residential.

I get blocked or see CAPTCHAs.

Use Apify residential proxies and increase the proxy country coverage. If the issue persists, lower the concurrency or add delays between requests.

Some fields are empty in the output.

Not all D&B profiles have every field populated. Enable Include Detail Data to fetch more complete information, but note that some data may still be missing.

FAQ

Question	Answer
Do I need a Dun & Bradstreet API key?	No. This Actor scrapes the public D&B website directly, so no registration or API key is required.
Can I scrape a specific company by URL?	Yes. Paste one or more D&B company profile URLs into the Start URLs field, and the Actor will extract data from each.
What data fields are returned?	Each company row includes name, address, phone, website, industry, employee count, revenue, and more. Enable Include Detail Data for competitors and year founded.
How many companies can I scrape in one run?	You can set maxItems up to 1,000,000. The Actor will stop after collecting that many profiles.
Can I filter by country?	Yes, use the Country Code field with an ISO Alpha-2 code like US, DE, or GB to restrict results.
