## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

## Norway Company Registry & Brreg Scraper (Officers + Financials)

Scrape the **Norwegian company register** (Brreg / Brønnøysundregistrene, the Brønnøysund Register Centre) with no API key and no login. Search over 1 million Norwegian entities by name, do an **organisation number lookup**, or bulk-lookup a whole list of org numbers, and get clean, structured **company data for KYB, compliance and B2B lead generation**: legal form, NACE industry codes, addresses, employees, VAT (MVA) and bankruptcy status, the full **board, chair, CEO and auditor**, and filed **annual accounts / financials**.

This is the most complete Brreg scraper on Apify: every field the Norwegian business register exposes, plus officers, plus multi-year financials, plus derived fields (`active`, `ageYears`), with honest `null`s and never invented values.

Here is one real result, with every field the actor returns (the `officers` array is trimmed to 3 of the real entries for length; the actor returns all of them):

### What it does

The actor reads Norway's central register of business entities (Enhetsregisteret / Foretaksregisteret, published as open data by the Brønnøysund Register Centre, "Brreg"). It applies the filters you pass, paginates through the matches, and writes one normalized record per company to the run's dataset. You can:

- **Search by company name** (or part of it) with optional filters for municipality, NACE industry code, legal form, postal code, institutional sector, employee range, VAT status, founding date and registration date.
- **Look up one company** directly by its 9-digit **organisation number**.
- **Bulk-lookup a list of organisation numbers** in a single run (KYB batch enrichment) via the `orgNumbers` field.

When `withDetails` is on, the actor fetches the full leadership of each company (board members, chair, CEO / daglig leder and auditor) and fills `ceo`, `chair` and the `officers` array. When `withFinancials` is on, it fetches each company's filed **annual accounts** (revenue, operating result, profit, assets, equity, liabilities) into `financials` plus the multi-year `annualAccounts` history. Missing source values are returned as `null`, never invented.

### Why this Norway company scraper

- **No API key, no login, no captcha.** Public open data, delivered clean and structured.
- **Most complete field set.** Every register field, plus officers, plus financials, plus derived `active` and `ageYears`.
- **Real KYB depth.** Board, chair, CEO, auditor, share capital, sector code, group membership, historical names and statutory purpose in every record.
- **Export anywhere.** JSON, CSV, Excel or XML; call it from the API, CLI or any language.

### How it compares

| Capability | This actor | Typical Brreg scraper | Basic Brreg export |
|---|:--:|:--:|:--:|
| Name search + org number lookup | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ |
| Bulk list of org numbers in one run | ✅ | ❌ | ✅ |
| Filters: municipality, NACE, legal form, postal code | ✅ | ✅ | partial |
| Filters: employee range (min/max) | ✅ | ✅ | ❌ |
| Filters: VAT (MVA) status | ✅ | ✅ | ❌ |
| Filters: institutional sector code | ✅ | ✅ | ❌ |

| Output formats: JSON, CSV, Excel, XML | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ |

### Use cases

- **KYB and KYC / compliance:** verify a Norwegian counterparty by organisation number, capture legal form, status, officers and financials for onboarding files.
- **B2B lead generation and sales prospecting:** build targeted company lists by industry (NACE), municipality, size (employee range) or VAT status, with phone, website and address.
- **CRM and data enrichment:** feed a list of org numbers and enrich every account with fresh registry fields, leadership and accounts.
- **Market and competitor research:** map an industry or region, track new registrations, bankruptcies and liquidations.
- **Credit and risk:** pull revenue, equity, liabilities and multi-year annual accounts for a portfolio of companies.

### Quickstart

Open the actor, paste this into the input, and press Run. It returns up to 10 companies matching "Equinor" with officers and financials attached.

```json
{
  "query": "Equinor",
  "maxCompanies": 10,
  "withDetails": true,
  "withFinancials": true
}
```

To pull a single company directly, set `query` to its 9-digit organisation number, for example `923609016`. To enrich a list, leave `query` empty and pass `orgNumbers`:

```json
{
  "orgNumbers": ["923609016", "914778271", "923609016"],
  "withDetails": true,
  "withFinancials": true
}
```

Only one of `query` or `orgNumbers` is required; the filters are optional and combine with logical AND.

### 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:

```bash
curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/scrapers_lat~norway-companies-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=<TOKEN>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"query":"Equinor","maxCompanies":10,"withDetails":true,"withFinancials":true}'
```

Start a run asynchronously (industry + municipality filter):

```bash
curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/scrapers_lat~norway-companies-scraper/runs?token=<TOKEN>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"query":"","industryCode":"62.010","municipality":"0301","employeesFrom":10,"maxCompanies":100}'
```

Apify CLI (single organisation number lookup):

```bash
apify call scrapers_lat/norway-companies-scraper \
  --input '{"query":"923609016"}'
```

### Fetch results

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

```bash
## 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](https://apify.com/scrapers_lat/norway-companies-scraper/pricing) for the current per-result price.
- **Officers add-on.** When `withDetails` is on, a `details` charge applies per company whose officers were successfully fetched. Turn `withDetails` off to pay the base result price only.
- **Financials add-on.** When `withFinancials` is on, a `financials` charge applies only for companies that actually have filed annual accounts attached. Turn `withFinancials` off to skip it.
- **No charge on failure.** Partial-fetch problems are reported in the `error` field on the record; empty runs cost nothing. Add-ons are charged only after the record is delivered and only on genuine success.
- **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 `maxCompanies`.
- **Source ceiling.** The register caps a single search at 10000 results. For larger pulls, split the work with narrower filters or date ranges.

### FAQ and troubleshooting

**Do I need an API key or login for Brreg?**
No. The Norwegian company register (Brønnøysundregistrene) is public open data. This actor needs no API key, no login and no captcha solving.

**Can I look up a company by organisation number?**
Yes. Set `query` to a 9-digit organisation number, for example `923609016`, to return that single company. For many at once, pass a list to `orgNumbers`.

**A run returned 0 records. Why?**
The name or filter combination matched nothing in the register. Loosen filters (remove `municipality`, `industryCode` or the employee range), or confirm the name spelling. Zero-result runs are not charged.

**Why are `ceo`, `chair` and `officers` empty?**
`withDetails` was off. Turn it on to fetch the board, chair, CEO and auditor for each company.

**Why is `financials` null?**
Either `withFinancials` was off, or the company has not filed annual accounts (common for new, dormant or very small entities). Missing source values are returned as `null`, never invented.

**Can I filter by industry, size or location?**
Yes. Use `industryCode` (NACE), `municipality` (4-digit number), `postalCode`, `sectorCode`, `employeesFrom` / `employeesTo` and `vatStatus`. Filters combine with logical AND.

**How current is the data?**
It reflects the register at run time, so newly registered companies, status changes and freshly filed accounts appear as soon as the register publishes them.

**Is this an official Brønnøysund tool?**
No. This actor is independent and has no affiliation with the Brønnøysund Register Centre. It reads only data that the register publishes as open data.
