What it does

The actor searches the official German attorney register (Bundesweites Amtliches Anwaltsverzeichnis, run by the BRAK) for the cities, chamber, name, firm, postcode and specialist title you set, and writes one normalized record per admitted lawyer to the run's dataset. Each record carries the lawyer's name, professional title, law firm, full contact details (email, phone, mobile, fax, website), address, bar chamber, admission dates, Fachanwalt specializations and their beA safe ID. Missing source values are returned as null, and optional AI add-ons (profile summary, lead score and tier) run per lawyer when enabled on a paid plan.

Data covers admitted lawyers (Rechtsanwälte) across Germany from the official BRAK register.

Quickstart

Open the actor, paste this into the input, and press Run. It returns 2 lawyers in Freiburg, with both AI add-ons enabled.

{
  "cities": ["Freiburg"],
  "maxLawyers": 2,
  "withAiProfileSummary": true,
  "withAiLeadScore": true
}

Pass several cities to cover them in one run, and combine with a chamber, name or specialization to narrow large cities. Every input field is optional; with an empty input the actor searches Berlin.

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~germany-lawyers-brak-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=<TOKEN>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"cities":["München"],"specialization":"1","maxLawyers":25}'

Start a run asynchronously:

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/scrapers_lat~germany-lawyers-brak-scraper/runs?token=<TOKEN>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"cities":["Berlin","Hamburg"],"chamber":"B","maxLawyers":100}'

Apify CLI:

apify call scrapers_lat/germany-lawyers-brak-scraper \
  --input '{"cities":["Freiburg"],"lastName":"Adam"}'

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 lawyer record returned (result event). See the pricing tab for the current per-result price.
• Optional AI add-ons (ai_profile_summary, ai_lead_score) are billed separately and only when they produce usable output, and only on paid Apify plans.
• No charge on failure. If a run errors, the actor writes a single 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. Upgrade for higher maxLawyers.

FAQ and troubleshooting

A run returned 0 records. Why? No lawyers matched the city, chamber, name or specialization filters. Try another city or remove a filter. Zero-result runs are not charged.

Why is the phone or specialization null? Not every lawyer publishes a phone number or holds a Fachanwalt title. Those fields are returned as null when absent; the actor never invents them.

How do I find specialists (Fachanwalt)? Set specialization to the numeric code for the specialist title (for example 1 for Arbeitsrecht, 5 for Familienrecht, 18 for Strafrecht).

What is beaSafeId? The lawyer's beA (besonderes elektronisches Anwaltspostfach) safe ID, a stable identifier in the electronic attorney mailbox system.

Do the AI fields cost extra? Yes. They are opt-in paid add-ons, billed only when they return usable output, and disabled on free Apify plans.

Is this an official BRAK tool? No. This actor is independent and has no affiliation with the BRAK. It reads only data that is publicly available in the official attorney register. Use it in accordance with the source's terms of service.
