The most complete Danish CVR company scraper available. It returns every field the official CVR registry exposes for a company (CVR/VAT, legal form, address, industry, employees, start date, published phone and email), adds all production units (P-numbers) with their own addresses and contacts, and offers opt-in AI and contact-enrichment add-ons so you can target exactly the company records you need.

What it does

The actor takes one or more company names or 8-digit CVR numbers, resolves each to its official Danish company registry record, and writes one normalized record per company to the run's dataset. Each record carries the CVR/VAT number, registered name, status, legal form, full registered address, primary industry code and description, employee count, start date, and any published phone or email. Every production unit (P-nummer) belonging to the company is returned with its own address, industry, and contact details, so you get the full corporate footprint, not just the headquarters.

Missing source values are returned as null, never invented. Optional paid add-ons can attach a plain-English AI company summary, AI KYB risk flags, an AI industry sector, and a best-effort public contact email plus contact name.

Quickstart

Open the actor, paste this into the input, and press Run. It returns the official CVR record for Novo Nordisk.

{
  "searchQuery": "Novo Nordisk",
  "maxCompanies": 1
}

Pass several companies at once by separating names or CVR numbers with commas or new lines, for example Novo Nordisk, Maersk, 33256708. Every field except searchQuery is optional.

Run via API and CLI

Start a run and wait for it to finish, then read the dataset. Replace <TOKEN> with your Apify API token.

Run synchronously and get dataset items in one call:

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/scrapers_lat~denmark-cvr-companies-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=<TOKEN>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"searchQuery":"Novo Nordisk, Maersk, Carlsberg","maxCompanies":10}'

Start a run asynchronously:

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/scrapers_lat~denmark-cvr-companies-scraper/runs?token=<TOKEN>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"searchQuery":"33256708","maxCompanies":1,"withRiskFlags":true}'

Apify CLI:

apify call scrapers_lat/denmark-cvr-companies-scraper \
  --input '{"searchQuery":"Novo Nordisk"}'

Fetch results

Every run writes to a dataset. Fetch items as JSON, CSV, or Excel by changing format:

# JSON
curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/<DATASET_ID>/items?token=<TOKEN>&clean=true&format=json"

# CSV
curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/<DATASET_ID>/items?token=<TOKEN>&clean=true&format=csv"

# Paginate large datasets
curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/<DATASET_ID>/items?token=<TOKEN>&offset=1000&limit=1000"

<DATASET_ID> is returned as defaultDatasetId in the run object. Use offset and limit to page through large result sets. clean=true drops empty and internal fields.

Billing and limits

• Pay per result. You are charged per company record returned (result event). See the pricing tab for the current per-result price.
• Opt-in add-ons are billed separately. AI company summary, AI KYB risk flags, AI industry classification, and contact enrichment each charge only when they succeed and only when you enable them.
• No charge on failure. If a lookup fails or the source rate-limits the run, the actor writes an item with a populated error field and does not charge for it. Empty runs cost nothing.
• Spend cap respected. Set maxTotalChargeUsd on the run; once reached, the actor stops emitting and charging further billable results.
• Free Apify plans are capped at 10 records per run, and contact enrichment is capped at 3 attempts. AI add-ons are disabled on free plans. Upgrade for higher limits.

FAQ and troubleshooting

A run returned "no match". Why? No Danish company matched that name or CVR number closely enough. Try the exact registered name or the 8-digit CVR number. No-match entries are not charged.

Can I look up several companies at once? Yes. Put multiple names or CVR numbers in searchQuery, separated by commas or new lines. Each entry returns one best-matching record.

Why is email or owners null? The registry did not publish that value for the company. Missing source values are returned as null, never invented. Enable the contact-enrichment add-on to attempt to find a public business email.

The run says it was rate-limited. What do I do? The Danish registry occasionally rate-limits heavy traffic. The actor rotates residential exit IPs and retries automatically; if it still hits a wall it writes an error item (not charged). Retry in a few minutes.

What are production units? A Danish company can have many production units (P-numbers), each a physical site with its own address, industry, and sometimes its own phone or employees. All of them are returned in productionUnits.

Is this an official CVR tool? No. This actor is independent and has no affiliation with the Danish Business Authority or the CVR registry. It reads only data that is publicly available. Use it in accordance with the source's terms.
