Belgisch Staatsblad Scraper - Moniteur Belge & KBO Filings

What does Belgisch Staatsblad Scraper do?

Belgisch Staatsblad Scraper reads the Belgian Official Gazette (Belgisch Staatsblad / Moniteur belge / Belgisches Staatsblatt) on ejustice.just.fgov.be and returns one row per company publication from the Annexes (Bijlagen bij het Belgisch Staatsblad / Annexes du Moniteur belge): every incorporation, statute change, director appointment or resignation, registered-office move, capital change, merger and dissolution a Belgian company publishes. Search by KBO/BCE enterprise number (a whole list at once), company name or publication date, filter by act type, legal form, postal code or municipality — or switch to the gazette itself and read its daily table of contents (laws, royal decrees, ministerial orders, notices).

Also known as: Moniteur belge scraper, Staatsblad API, Belgian company filings, KBO publications, BCE publications, Bijlage Rechtspersonen.

• 🏢 Company acts by enterprise number — paste one number or a whole portfolio; each is searched over the whole archive (1983 → today) or your date window.
• 🗓 Every new company of the day — act type "Incorporation" + a date gives the gazette's new-company feed (measured: 11 result pages — over 1,000 incorporations — published 2026-10-09 → 2026-10-15).
• 🧮 The enterprise number checked — normalised to 0417.497.106, mod-97 verified, with the BE VAT number and a link to KBO Public Search.
• 🏷 Act types you can filter on — the printed act line split into the gazette's own codes (c01-c16) and English labels; one publication often carries two to five acts.
• 🗣 The filing's own language — filingLanguage tells you whether the act was filed in Dutch, French or German, whatever interface language you search in.
• 🔎 Text inside the act — optionally keep only publications whose PDF text contains a phrase (a person's name, "vereffening", "faillissement"), with a snippet.
• 🔁 Monitoring — "Only new publications" remembers what earlier runs delivered: schedule it daily and get only the new acts of your companies.
• 🔓 No login, no API key, no browser.

Search by number for a company's history, by date for the market

A number or a name with no dates searches the whole archive, newest first (AB InBev's number returns 667 publications from 2026 back to 1991). A search with neither number nor name is a market query: it needs a date window and defaults to the last 7 days. The gazette refuses any search over 10,000 results ("Verfijn uw opzoeking"); the Actor then splits the date window in halves, newest half first, until every part fits — reaching the newest week of September 2026 took three searches.

Pick several act types instead of reading everything

The gazette's form takes one act type per search; the Actor runs one search per type you pick and removes duplicates (a statutes change that is also a capital change is delivered once). Measured on 2026-10-15: of the day's 777 publications, 437 are listed without address, legal form or act type — an act-type filter or onlyIndexed leaves them out.

Use the full-text phrase for people and events

fullTextQuery downloads each candidate act's PDF and keeps it only when the phrase is inside (accents and case ignored). Measured: "bestuurder" over 2026-10-15's resignation/appointment acts matched 20 of 32 PDFs in 60 s. Scanned acts without a text layer (the PDF is an image) never match. Narrow the search with dates and act types first: every PDF is a request.

Fields and how often they are filled

Measured on real runs: 1,000 incorporations (2026-10-09 → 15), 150 publications of all types (2026-09-30), 100 resignation/appointment acts (2026-10-13 → 15), and 262 gazette entries (2026-10-10 → 16).

enterpriseNumberValid	100% true	every one of the 2,000+ numbers read passed mod-97
legalForm, address, postalCode, city, street, category, actTypeCodes, actTypes, filingLanguage	100% on act-type searches	the all-types day list holds rows without them (437 of 777 on 2026-10-15)

Older history differs: before about 1997 the gazette printed only the municipality (city, no street) and no PDF; pre-2005 annual-accounts notices carry a year only (publicationYear, publicationDate null).

Limits & empty runs

• The gazette answers about one request per second; the Actor reads serially at that pace (100 rows per page: 1,000 rows in about a minute).
• One search tops out at 10,000 results on the gazette side; date windows are split automatically, a single day is never split further.
• The site only answers European residential connections; keep the default proxy (RESIDENTIAL, a European country).
• If the gazette ever answers with its image CAPTCHA, the Actor stops reading and keeps what it delivered; the run message says so.
• An empty run means the gazette has no publication for that search (for a number: no act published under it).
