Polish REGON Scraper - GUS Business Registry | Wyszukiwarka REGON (baza firm GUS)

Look up any Polish company in the official REGON business registry (GUS) by NIP, REGON, or KRS - structured JSON with identifiers, legal form, ownership, full address, registration dates, and PKD codes. Unlike the official BIR web service (which makes you register for a key tied to your identity), this needs no key, no registration, nothing to configure - and it returns local units (jednostki lokalne) as separate rows, so you see every branch, not just the headquarters.

What data do you get?

One record per entity or local unit:

How much does the REGON data cost?

Pay per result - you are not charged for Apify platform usage, only a fixed price per record. The price drops on higher Apify subscription tiers.

Volume	Cost
1 result	$0.004
100 results	~$0.40
1,000 results	~$4.00
10,000 results	~$40.00

There is effectively no start fee (only Apify's synthetic $0.00005 start event). Apify's $5 monthly free credit covers roughly 1,250 results. No subscription, no minimum.

Is it legal, and where does the data come from?

Data comes from the official REGON register (Krajowy Rejestr Urzedowy Podmiotow Gospodarki Narodowej) at wyszukiwarkaregon.stat.gov.pl, maintained by GUS (Glowny Urzad Statystyczny / Statistics Poland). The registry is public - the actor reads only what GUS publishes openly. Extraction of this public data is permitted; you remain responsible for lawful, GDPR-compliant use of any personal data (e.g. sole-trader details) downstream.

How do I use it?

Click Try it and paste this input:

{ "searchMode": "nip", "identifiers": ["5260250995"] }

Look up by REGON or KRS by changing searchMode, and pass many identifiers in identifiers to enrich a whole list in one run.

Input options

Parameter	Type	Required	Default	Description
searchMode	string	No	nip	nip, regon, or krs
identifiers	array	Yes	-	List of NIP / REGON / KRS numbers to look up
pkdSections	array	No	-	Keep only records in these PKD 2007 sections (A-U)
pkdCodes	array	No	-	Keep only records whose PKD starts with one of these
pkdMatch	string	No	any	any = any reported PKD; main = only the main PKD
legalForms	array	No	-	Keep only entities whose legal form contains a phrase
fetchFullReport	boolean	No	true	Fetch each entity's full REGON report
fetchPkd	boolean	No	true	Fetch PKD activity codes
includeLocalUnits	boolean	No	true	Include local units as separate rows
maxResults	integer	No	0	Max records (0 = unlimited)

Search modes: nip (by tax ID), regon (by REGON, incl. local units), krs (by court-register number). Each takes the identifiers array.

Local units, not just headquarters

Most tools return only a company's registered seat. This actor returns every local unit (jednostka lokalna) as its own row - each physical branch or establishment with its own 14-digit REGON and address, linked to the parent through parentRegon. That is a real "one row per location" view of a company's footprint, which matters for site-level lead-gen, territory mapping, and physical-presence checks. Turn it off with includeLocalUnits: false if you only want headquarters.

What you can do with it

• B2B lead generation - build targeted company lists by region and industry, filtering on PKD sections/codes.
• KYB / company verification - confirm a company's identity, legal form, and status by NIP, REGON, or KRS.
• CRM enrichment - append official identifiers, structured address (with TERYT codes), and PKD to your records.
• Territory & market mapping - map business density and industry distribution across a region, down to branch level.
• Bulk validation - clean and enrich thousands of NIP/REGON/KRS numbers in one run.

FAQ

Is it legal to scrape REGON? Yes. REGON is the official public business register published by GUS. Extraction of public data is permitted; you remain responsible for lawful, GDPR-compliant use of any personal data downstream.

Do I need a key or registration, like the official BIR service? No. The official BIR API makes you register for a user key tied to your identity. This actor needs no key and no registration - just an Apify account.

What export formats are supported? JSON, CSV, Excel, or XML, or read live via the API.

How do I get every branch, not just the HQ? Leave includeLocalUnits: true (the default). Each local unit comes back as its own row with a 14-digit REGON and parentRegon.

Can I filter by industry? Yes. Set pkdSections (A-U) or pkdCodes (prefix match). Keep fetchPkd: true so the filter has data to match on.

Can I search by name or address? No - lookup is by identifier (NIP / REGON / KRS). The official keyed REGON service does not support name or address search either.

Limitations

• Lookup is by identifier (NIP / REGON / KRS); name and address search are not supported by the source register.
• PKD and legal-form filters are applied per record, so keep fetchPkd: true for PKD filtering to take effect.
• Employment figures are confidential in REGON and are not returned.
