Italy Company Registry & PEC Scraper - Registro Imprese, VAT, REA

Turn any Italian company name, VAT number (Partita IVA) or REA code into a structured registry record. The data comes from the public company pages on ufficiocamerale.it, which republish Registro Imprese / Camera di Commercio information: VAT number, tax code, REA, chamber of commerce, legal form, status, ATECO activity, registered address, employees, revenue, profit, share capital, the PEC certified email and the SDI codice destinatario for e-invoicing - one flat row per company.

Search by name, VAT number or REA code, paste company page URLs, or send a whole batch list. Cloudflare and the Italy-only IP requirement are handled for you. Optional add-on: the company's own verified website and contact email.

Why use this scraper

• Every VAT number works. Each Partita IVA is looked up through the site's own search, so it finds the company whatever its page address looks like. An 11-digit number is matched as the Partita IVA or the numeric codice fiscale (Enel S.p.A.: codice fiscale 00811720580, Partita IVA 00934061003 - both find it). Mistyped numbers fail the check digit and are never fetched or charged.
• REA lookup that returns the right company. A REA code is resolved to candidate companies and a record is delivered only when that company's own card carries the same chamber and REA number.
• $0.001 per company + $0.10 per run. No charge for companies that are not found, invalid numbers or unreachable lookups.
• Financials from the free page. Revenue (Fatturato), profit (Utile), share capital and employees, each with the year the card prints beside it.
• PEC confirmed twice. The card carries the PEC in its visible block (Cloudflare-obfuscated) and in its schema.org data; both are read and compared (pec_matches_structured_data).
• Only-with-PEC filter. onlyWithPec skips companies without a PEC - not delivered, not charged.
• Verified websites only. With enrichEmails, a website is attached only when one of its pages shows the company's tax code / VAT number, its registered postcode and town, or its registered name with its legal form. Anything else goes to website_candidate, with no email taken from it and no charge.

Coming from another Registro Imprese scraper?

Input names (mode, query, province, directUrls, maxItems, maxConcurrency, includePec, enrichEmails) and output field names (vat_number, rea_number, legal_name, pec_email, codice_destinatario, ...) follow the conventions already used for ufficiocamerale.it data on the Store, so an existing input or pipeline works unchanged.

	This actor
Price per company	$0.001
Actor start	$0.10 per run
VAT lookup	every Partita IVA, through the site's own search (not only VATs that appear in a page address)
REA lookup	resolved and checked against the company's own card
Revenue / profit / share capital / employees from the free page	yes, each with its year
SDI codice destinatario	yes (the 0000000 default is kept apart in codice_destinatario_as_published)
PEC from the page	yes, confirmed against the page's structured data
PEC from INI-PEC when the page has none	no - INI-PEC asks for a CAPTCHA on every search (see FAQ)
Only companies with a PEC	yes (onlyWithPec, skipped companies not charged)
Website + email add-on	$0.0009 per verified website, proof type in website_matched_by
Directors, shareholders, insolvency, XBRL bilancio	null - those are paid visure, not on the free page
Batch list mixing VAT numbers, names, REA codes and URLs	yes (identifiers)

Supported inputs

The actor takes a search (mode + query), a list of direct company URLs, a batch list, or any combination.

Search modes

• by_name - searches the company name on the site, best match first: exact name, then names that start with yours, then names containing every word you typed (e.g. BCC Felsinea). province narrows it to one province.
• by_vat_number - looks up each Partita IVA (e.g. 00159560366). Several can go in query, separated by commas or new lines.
• by_rea_number - looks up each REA code with its chamber (e.g. MO-187940). A bare number takes its chamber from province.

Direct company URLs look like https://www.ufficiocamerale.it/1295/bcc-felsinea-banca-di-credito-cooperativo-dal-1902-sc and override mode/query.

Batch list (identifiers): VAT numbers, company names, REA codes and URLs mixed, one per line.

Not supported: the paid "ACQUISTA VISURA / ACQUISTA BILANCIO" documents and anything behind them (directors list, shareholders, insolvency detail, XBRL accounts). Those fields are returned as null.

Use cases

Team	What they build
KYC / KYB compliance	Verify company identity, legal form, VAT, status and registration before onboarding
B2B sales & lead gen	Prospect lists by name or keyword and province, with PEC and (add-on) website + email
Credit & risk analysts	Screen revenue, profit, share capital and filing status before extending credit
Accounting & e-invoicing	Bulk PEC certified emails and SDI codes for invoicing and formal correspondence
Data enrichment	Append Italian company attributes to CRM records using VAT as the join key

How it works

1. Give a query, URLs or a batch list. VAT numbers are checked against the Partita IVA check digit first.
2. Each company is found through the site's own search (VAT or name), or read straight from its URL. REA codes are resolved to candidate VAT numbers and kept only when the card's REA matches.
3. Each page is fetched through an Italian residential IP with a real browser fingerprint - the site refuses datacenter and non-Italian IPs. A challenged IP is replaced and the lookup retried; it is never read as "not found".
4. The card is parsed: registry fields, financials with their years, the PEC (decoded and cross-checked) and the SDI code.
5. Optional enrichment: the company's own website is looked for (the domain of its PEC, then its registered name as .it / .com domains), checked for proof of ownership, and a contact email is read from it.
6. One row per company is pushed, up to maxItems.

Input configuration

Field	Type	Default	Description
mode	string	by_name	by_name, by_vat_number or by_rea_number
query	string	-	Company name, VAT number(s) or REA code(s), matching mode
province	string	all of Italy	Two-letter province code (or name) to filter name searches; in REA mode, the chamber for a bare REA number
directUrls	array	-	ufficiocamerale.it company page URLs. Override mode/query
identifiers	array	-	Batch list: VAT numbers, names, REA codes, URLs, one per line
maxMatchesPerName	integer	1	Companies opened per name in the batch list (1-200)
maxItems	integer	10	Maximum company records delivered (and charged) in the run (1-10,000)
maxConcurrency	integer	8	Company pages fetched in parallel (1-16)

Measured coverage

Field fill of the company card, measured on three samples (n = companies read):

	30 random pages from the site's own sitemap	40 VAT numbers printed on Italian company websites	27 pages - 24 small businesses (19 sole traders) + 3 large firms
active / cessata	29 / 1	39 / 1	17 / 10
PEC, active companies	28 / 29	38 / 39	12 / 17
PEC, ceased companies	0 / 1	0 / 1	0 / 10
SDI code (not 0000000)	22 / 30	29 / 40	6 / 27
legal form, ATECO, employees	28 / 30	38 / 40	20 / 27
revenue / profit / share capital	18 / 18 / 19	24 / 25 / 26	5 / 5 / 6
postal code / map pin	29 / 29	38 / 38	23 / 27

An active company publishes its PEC on its card 71% to 97% of the time depending on the mix (sole traders less often); a ceased one did in none of 12.

enrichEmails, measured in verification runs on the first two samples (2026-09-30):

	30 random sitemap companies	35 companies known to have a website
verified website	9 (30%)	12 (34%)
...of which with a contact email	4	8
unverified website_candidate only	11	13
how the verified sites were proven	7 VAT/tax code, 1 postcode, 1 registered name	12 VAT/tax code

Every verified site was checked by hand: each is the company's own site or its group's site. A website whose domain comes from neither the company's registered name nor its PEC (a brand or shop name) is not found; that is what website_candidate and the rates above reflect.

Speed (verification runs, default settings): 5 companies by VAT number in 5 seconds, 35 in 15 seconds; with enrichEmails, 30 companies in 174 seconds.

Pricing

$0.10 per run + $0.001 per company record. Optional add-on: $0.0009 per company delivered with a verified website.

Outcome	Charged
Run starts	$0.10 (once per run)
Company found and delivered (with or without a PEC)	$0.001
Company skipped by onlyWithPec	no
VAT number, name or REA the site does not know	no
Invalid VAT number (fails the check digit)	no - never fetched
Unreachable after retries	no
The same company twice in your input	charged once
enrichEmails: verified website attached	+$0.0009
enrichEmails: only an unverified website_candidate, or nothing found	no

Examples: 10 companies = $0.11; 1,000 companies = $1.10; 1,000 companies with enrichEmails at the ~30% verified-website rate measured above = about $1.37. maxItems caps what one run can charge.

Run summary

Each run writes RUN_SUMMARY to its key-value store: delivered vs charged, name-search totals (results the site reported, openable companies, queued), each REA lookup (candidates checked, the one verified), enrichment statistics, and every lookup that did not produce a record, each in its own list - invalidInput (with the reason), notFound, skippedNoPec, unreachable (with the last error).

FAQ

How do I search Italian companies by name? Set mode to by_name and put the name in query. Add province to narrow it. The best matches come first: exact name, then names starting with yours, then names containing every word. Some listings on the site carry no VAT number and cannot be opened (58 of 451 results for enel in Rome); they are counted in the run summary.

Can I look a company up by VAT number (Partita IVA)? Yes - by_vat_number, or VAT numbers in identifiers. Every VAT is looked up through the site's own search, so it works whatever the company's page address is. IT prefixes, spaces and dots are fine.

Can I look a company up by REA number? Yes - by_rea_number with the chamber, e.g. MO-187940 (or a bare number plus province). The site's own search does not accept REA numbers, so the actor finds candidate VAT numbers published next to that REA on the web and delivers a company only when its own card carries the same chamber and REA. A REA that no web page links to a VAT number is reported as notFound and not charged.

What is PEC and why does it matter? PEC (Posta Elettronica Certificata) is Italy's certified email, legally equivalent to registered post. Every Italian company must file one with the Registro Imprese. The actor reads it from the company page and confirms it against the page's structured data.

Does it use INI-PEC when the page has no PEC? No. includePec is accepted, but INI-PEC (inipec.gov.it) asks for a CAPTCHA on every company search, so it is not queried. pec_source is page or null.

Which fields are always null? amministratori, soci, has_insolvency and bilancio_xbrl_url sit behind the site's paid visura/bilancio; trade_name, cessation_date, last_modification_date, phone and website are not printed on the free card. With enrichEmails, the company's website and email come in contact_website / contact_email.

Do I need to configure proxies? No. The default is Apify RESIDENTIAL with country Italy, which the site requires. If another setting is refused, the run switches to it by itself.

How many companies can I get per run? Up to 10,000 via maxItems.

Why is a company I know missing? Check RUN_SUMMARY: notFound (the site has no card for it), invalidInput (the VAT fails the check digit), skippedNoPec (with onlyWithPec) or unreachable (re-run just those).
