North Data Scraper: European company register data, financials and history

North Data Scraper collects company profiles from northdata.com for the names or links you give it, without a North Data account, cookies or a browser. Each company comes back as one clean row: the official name and former names, legal form, status (active, in liquidation, terminated), the register court and number, EUID and LEI, the registered address, industry, corporate purpose, share capital, the published financial figures by year (revenue, earnings, total assets, employees), the balance sheet when North Data shows it, and the dated register history: registration, name, address and capital changes, statute filings, trademarks, public funding, mergers and acquisitions.

It covers Germany in depth (Handelsregister data) and the other registers North Data indexes: Austria, Switzerland, France, the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, the UK, the Nordics, Spain, Poland and more.

It is used for KYB and supplier checks, B2B lead lists with register numbers, credit and risk screening, M&A and investor research, market maps by industry, and to enrich a CRM with the legal data of each account.

Company data only. Names of managing directors, board members, shareholders who are people and authorized signatories are never delivered, and search results that are people are skipped.

At a glance

What	Price
Company delivered	US$ 3.90 per 1,000 companies (US$ 0.0039 each)
Run start	US$ 0.005 per run

• 100 companies = US$ 0.395 (100 x 0.0039 + 0.005).
• Error rows, duplicates and companies skipped by the status filter are never charged.
• maxItems is a hard cap, and a spending limit set on the run stops it cleanly with everything delivered so far.
• The proxy is included in the price.

Quick start

One company name, German companies only:

{
  "searchQueries": ["Siemens"],
  "countries": ["DE"],
  "maxItems": 20
}

Several names, active companies only, across Germany and Austria:

{
  "searchQueries": ["Bosch", "solar energy", "logistics"],
  "countries": ["DE", "AT"],
  "companyStatus": "active",
  "maxItems": 100
}

Exact companies by link (the fastest way to enrich a list you already have):

{
  "startUrls": [
    "https://www.northdata.com/Siemens%20AG,%20M%C3%BCnchen/HRB%206684",
    "https://www.northdata.com/Software-123%20Ltd%C2%B7,%20Inverness/Companies%20House%20SC418909"

How the search works

A name is searched on North Data and the results are merged without duplicates, up to about 60 companies per name. For a long list of companies, put one name per line, or paste the company links directly.

The country filter keeps companies whose page sits in that country. The status filter is applied after each page is read, and skipped companies are free.

Errors you may see

Error rows have type: "error", an errorCode and a message. They are never charged.

errorCode	Meaning	What to do
INVALID_INPUT	A field has a value the Actor cannot use (for example an unknown country code)	Fix the field
INVALID_URL	The link is not a North Data company or search link	Paste a link from northdata.com
PERSON_PAGE	The link points to a person's page	This Actor delivers company data only
NO_RESULTS	No company matched the name in the chosen countries	Try another spelling or fewer countries
NOT_FOUND	The company page no longer exists	Check the link
BLOCKED	North Data refused every attempt	Run again in a few minutes

Integrations, scheduling and AI agents

• Schedules: run the same list every week or month to catch new capital, address, status or name changes in the history field.
• Export: download the dataset as JSON, CSV, Excel or XML, or read it from the Apify API.
• Make, n8n and Zapier: use the Apify integration to send each new company to a sheet, CRM or Slack.
• Webhooks: get a call when a run finishes and pull the dataset from there.
• AI agents: the Actor works as a tool through the Apify MCP server, so an agent can look up a company's register number, status and latest figures on demand.

FAQ

Do I need a North Data account? No. The Actor reads the public company pages. Data that North Data keeps behind its premium plans (full KPI tables, ownership graphs, documents) is not included.

Why are some financial fields empty? Because the company did not publish them, or North Data shows them only to premium users. Empty fields stay null.

Can I get the managing directors or shareholders? No. People's names are personal data and are left out on purpose. Corporate shareholders and merger partners that are companies do appear in mergersAndAcquisitions and history.

How fast is it? A run of 100 companies usually takes a few minutes.

Which countries are covered? All countries North Data indexes; Germany, Austria and Switzerland have the richest register data.

Limitations

• The quick search returns up to about 60 companies per name; for more, use more specific names or company links.
• Advanced filters of the North Data Power Search (legal form, industry, radius) are premium on the site and are not available; the country and status filters are applied by the Actor.
• legalForm comes from the register history when it is there, otherwise from the name suffix, and can be empty for funds, branches and unusual names.
• The balanceSheet field appears only for the larger companies where North Data shows a drill-down.

Changelog
