German Company Registry Scraper - Firms & Officers

Scrape German commercial-register data — company name, register court and number, address, founding date, LEI code — plus the full list of directors and officers with their job titles. No login, no API key.

Also covers 15 other European registers in the same run: Austria, Switzerland, Belgium, France, the Netherlands, the Nordics, the Baltics and more.

The European sibling to my Companies House Scraper (UK).

Pricing

$0.01 per company. You are charged only for records actually delivered.

You are not billed for the wrong companies

Search an unknown name and the source answers with a page of unrelated companies rather than an empty result. By default (requireNameMatch) this actor rejects results whose name doesn't match your search before their page is even fetched — no request, no charge — and the run tells you so. Turn it off to keep everything returned.

Honest limits

• registerCourt is German-only. It's parsed out of the register identifier, and the other European registers this covers use a plain number with no court — Belgian KBO, French Siren, Bulgarian UIC, Lithuanian JAR. registerType and registerNumber are populated either way.
• leiCode exists only for companies required to hold one (typically those active in financial markets). Most SMEs have none; it's never fabricated.
• officers are present on ~83% of records. Branches, dormant and very new entities may list none — officerCount is then 0, never null, so the two fields can't disagree.
• No revenue or employee figures. The source renders those behind its paid tier, so shipping the fields would mean shipping them permanently empty.

Tips

• onlyWithOfficers: true gives a clean decision-maker list for B2B outreach.
• Search by legal-form keyword ("ug haftungsbeschraenkt", "software gmbh") plus country to build sector lead lists.
• Dedupe on northDataUrl when accumulating scheduled runs.
