Norway Company Registry (Brreg): Search & Lookup

Search the Norwegian Business Register (Enhetsregisteret) by name, org number, industry (NACE), municipality, org form or headcount. Returns industry, employees, founding date, website, address, VAT/bankruptcy flags and share capital. Official open data. $1 per 1,000 companies.

Data source: the official open API of the Brønnøysund Register Centre (data.brreg.no, Norwegian Licence for Open Government Data, NLOD). It needs no login, proxy or browser. Results are returned as clean, flat JSON that is ready for spreadsheets, databases, BI tools and AI agents.

What can you use it for?

• Build Norwegian B2B lead lists by industry, municipality and headcount
• Enrich CRM records with org number, website and employee count
• Supplier checks: bankruptcy, liquidation and VAT registration flags
• Track newly founded companies in a sector (founded-from filter)
• Use it as a tool from AI agents through the Apify MCP server, or schedule it and send new results to Slack, Google Sheets or a webhook

Download the results as JSON, CSV, Excel or XML, or read them through the Apify API.

Pricing

This Actor uses pay-per-event pricing. You pay $0.001 per company returned, plus standard Apify platform usage, which is small because the Actor uses lightweight HTTP requests (no browser). You are never charged for results that are not returned. To cap spending, set a maximum cost per run in the run options.

Tips

• Start with a small max-results value to check your filters, then scale up.
• Schedule the Actor (for example daily) to monitor changes over time.
• The data comes straight from the source, so its freshness and completeness depend on that publisher.

This Actor is not affiliated with or endorsed by any website, platform or data publisher named here. Use it in line with the target sites' terms and applicable privacy laws (e.g. GDPR/CAN-SPAM for contact data). Verify critical decisions against the official source.
