Kompass Scraper - Global B2B Company Directory

Scrape company data from Kompass.com, a global B2B directory with 60M+ companies across 70+ countries.

Anti-Bot Protection Note

Kompass.com uses DataDome anti-bot protection. For best results, use residential proxies (RESIDENTIAL group) with country matching enabled (e.g., countryCode: "DE" for German results). If you experience empty results, try running again — a fresh residential IP often passes the challenge.

Use with AI Agents (MCP)

Connect this actor to any MCP-compatible AI client — Claude Desktop, Claude.ai, Cursor, VS Code, LangChain, LlamaIndex, or custom agents.

Apify MCP server URL:

Example prompt once connected:

"Use kompass-scraper to scrape company data from kompass. Return results as a table."

Clients that support dynamic tool discovery (Claude.ai, VS Code) will receive the full input schema automatically via add-actor.

What data do you get?

For each company, the scraper extracts:

• Company name and description
• Website URL, phone number, and email
• Full address (street, postal code, city, country)
• GPS coordinates (latitude/longitude)
• Employee count (e.g., "Von 20 bis 49 Mitarbeiter")
• Year founded
• Revenue/turnover
• Supplier type (Exporter, Manufacturer, Service provider, etc.)
• Product categories and certifications (ISO, etc.)
• Company logo

How to use

Option 1: Paste a search URL

1. Go to any Kompass country site (e.g., de.kompass.com) and search for companies
2. Copy the search results URL
3. Paste it into the Search URLs field

Works with all Kompass country domains: de.kompass.com, fr.kompass.com, gb.kompass.com, it.kompass.com, es.kompass.com, and 70+ more.

Option 2: Use search query + country

Set the Search Query (e.g., "software") and Country code (e.g., "DE") fields. The scraper builds the URL automatically.

  "includeDetails": true,
  "proxyConfiguration": {

Tips

• Include Details = ON gives you email, full address, coordinates, employee count, founding year, and more. Highly recommended.
• Include Details = OFF is faster but only returns name, city, phone, website, and categories from search results.
• RESIDENTIAL proxy with country matching is recommended. Kompass uses DataDome bot protection which may challenge datacenter IPs. Set countryCode in proxy config to match the Kompass domain (e.g., "DE" for de.kompass.com).
• The scraper works with all 70+ Kompass country domains.
• The scraper rotates through multiple Chrome TLS profiles and proxy sessions automatically for best success rates.

Known limitations

Kompass.com uses DataDome bot protection which requires JavaScript execution for initial challenge solving. The success rate depends on the proxy quality and IP reputation. If you consistently get 0 results, try:

1. Using RESIDENTIAL proxy group with country matching
2. Running at different times of day
3. Reducing maxResults to avoid rate limiting
