Brazil CNPJ Scraper — Receita Federal Company Records

Look up Brazilian companies by CNPJ — full Receita Federal record: legal name, address, status, share capital, CNAE industry codes, partners (QSA), tax regime history, and contact details. Bulk batch. No API key.

What you get

• One row per Brazilian company, fetched live from Brazil's federal tax registry (Receita Federal)
• Legal name (razão social), trade name (nome fantasia), and CNPJ in both raw and formatted (19.131.243/0001-97) forms
• Registration status — Active / Suspended / Inactive / Closed — with the date and reason
• Address — street, number, complement, neighborhood, city, state, ZIP, IBGE code, country
• Industry classification — primary CNAE code + description, plus the full list of secondary CNAEs
• Share capital, company size (ME / EPP / DEMAIS), legal nature, founding date
• Partners (QSA) — every officer / shareholder with their name, role, join date, age range, and masked tax ID
• Tax regime history — annual Simples Nacional / MEI / Lucro Real status (optional)
• Contact — phone (DDD + number), fax, email
• Direct export to JSON, CSV, Excel, or Google Sheets

Use cases

• Lead generation — enrich a list of CNPJs scraped elsewhere with full company profiles for outbound campaigns
• Due diligence — verify a Brazilian counterparty's legal status, partners, and tax-regime history in seconds
• B2B sales — filter prospects by CNAE (industry), state, size, or active/inactive status
• AML / KYC — pull the QSA (partners list) for ultimate beneficial ownership review
• Financial / lending — check situacao_cadastral, capital social, and founding date for credit decisions
• Research / journalism — bulk-enrich datasets of government contractors, exporters, or news subjects

How to use

1. Paste one or more CNPJs — with or without punctuation. Both 19.131.243/0001-97 and 19131243000197 work.
2. Choose what to include: Partners (QSA), Secondary CNAEs, Tax regime history (off by default).
3. Set Concurrency (default 5; max 10) to control how fast we hit BrasilAPI.
4. Set Max items (0 = no cap) and run. One company per row in the Dataset tab.

Notes

• Data is fetched live from BrasilAPI, a public consortium-maintained mirror of the Receita Federal CNPJ registry
• Tax IDs in the QSA (partners list) are masked by Receita Federal (e.g. ***112108**) — full IDs are not publicly available
• BrasilAPI is generally rate-limited around 3–5 requests per second per IP; the default concurrency of 5 stays under that
• Invalid CNPJs (anything other than exactly 14 digits) are skipped with a warning, not a fatal error
