Finder.fi Scraper

Pull Finnish business listings from Finder.fi at scale — names, official business IDs (Y-tunnus), phone, email, website, full postal address, company status and map coordinates, plus opening hours, logos and social profiles on the businesses that publish them, one clean row per business location. A company that operates several outlets returns one row per outlet, each with its own street address and — on the 85% of locations where Finder publishes one — its own phone number, so you capture each contactable location, not just the head office. Search by keyword and city, or paste a Finder.fi search link to run its exact search words, page and sort order. You get companies only unless you ask for more: Finder also files named individuals — estate agents, lawyers, managing directors — alongside businesses, and those stay out of your export (and off your bill) until you switch them on. Built for B2B sales teams, lead-generation agencies, and market researchers who need verified Finnish company contacts without clicking through the directory profile by profile.

Why This Scraper?

• Canonical Finnish business IDs (Y-tunnus) — every company comes with its hyphenated official ID (e.g. 2467766-5), the key that joins straight to PRH, VAT, and Finnish accounting systems.
• One row per business location, not just the head office — a chain or multi-branch company returns a separate record for each outlet, each with its own street address, phone and post office, so a 6-restaurant group gives you 6 contactable leads instead of one. Group by businessId afterward if you ever want a single row per legal entity.
• Map-ready geo coordinates on ~88% of records — latitude and longitude straight from Finder: 60-98% of a result set depending on the vertical, and 100% of premium listings. All 2,067 coordinates we measured fall inside Finland's borders, so you can plot results, run radius searches, or feed a territory map without geocoding first.
• Direct contact fields, ready for a dialer — the published phone number, email address and website as three discrete columns instead of one contact blob, with phone landing on 51-98% of rows depending on the vertical. Finder also exposes a mobile field, but it repeats the same published number, so phone is the one line to call.
• Logo, images and social profiles — with a column that tells you which rows have them — company logo (2-76% of a result set), up to 20 profile and cover images (2-86%) and normalized Facebook/Instagram URLs (2-42%, expanded from the bare handles Finder returns) all ride on Finder's premium listings, and the hasPaidPackage column marks exactly those rows so you can filter before you build on them.
• 7-day opening hours plus a live open-now flag — every business that publishes hours gives you all seven weekdays, never a partial week (true of all 880 schedules we measured), each day carrying its own open/closed status and its opening intervals so a split lunch-break day survives intact, plus a boolean saying whether it is open at extraction time. Expect 11-77% of a result set to carry hours, highest on restaurants and car dealers.
• Company form and active/inactive status — the legal form spelled out the way the Finnish trade register does, never abbreviated: Osakeyhtiö (81% of rows), Yksityinen elinkeinonharjoittaja — the sole-trader form (14%), Kommandiittiyhtiö, Avoin yhtiö, Osuuskunta and 6 rarer forms, alongside a normalized status (Active, Dissolved, Bankruptcy) so you can filter out dead entities before they hit your CRM.
• Finnish postal address as five discrete columns — street, postal code and post office on 99% of branches, city and region (maakunta) on 100% — never one mashed-together string, and every value describes the outlet in that row, so a Tampere branch of a Helsinki chain is filed under Pirkanmaa, not Uusimaa. Only 23 of the 2,350 locations we measured publish no street address at all, and even the thinnest vertical we tested still filled 93.6%.
• Keyword + city search, or paste the link from a search you already ran — run Finnish industry terms across all of Finland or narrow them to one city, and pick up any finder.fi search link exactly as it stands: its search words, its page number and its sort order (relevance or A-Z). Finder.fi files businesses by search words rather than by a category or city parameter, so ?what=hotelli+Helsinki is how a link is scoped to one market — and anything a link carries that Finder cannot search by is named in the run log instead of being dropped without a word.

Input Reference

What to Scrape

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
searchUrls	string[]	[]	Paste Finder.fi search-result URLs. The link's search words, page number and sort order are reused exactly. Finder.fi has no category or location setting in its links, so any other parameter is named in the run log and final message rather than quietly ignored. Leave empty if you'd rather build a search using the fields below.
keywords	string[]	["ravintola"]	One or more business or industry terms to search for (e.g. "ravintola", "hotelli", "autokorjaamo"). Each keyword is searched in turn. Leave empty if you're using Search URLs above.

Search Filters

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
location	string	""	Limit the keyword search to a Finnish city or area (e.g. "Helsinki", "Tampere", "Turku"). Leave blank to search all of Finland. Only applies to the keywords — for a Search URL, put the city in the URL's own search words.

Extra Records

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
includePeople	boolean	false	Finder's results mix companies with named individuals who work at them (estate agents, lawyers, managing directors). They are left out by default, so you only pay for business records. Switch this on to collect them too — each arrives with the person's name, job title, direct phone and email, and the employer they work for, marked person in recordType. Leave it off and the run still reports how many people it left out, so a thin result set is never a mystery.

Limits

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
maxResults	integer	100	Maximum number of business locations to return across all keywords and URLs (a company with several outlets counts as one row per outlet). Set to 0 for unlimited (up to 100,000 per run). Start with 10-50 to test, then increase.

Output

Each business location is one flat record — a company with several outlets returns one record per outlet, each with its own address, phone and, where Finder holds them, its own coordinates. Here's a representative result:

The example above is a premium Finder listing. A logo, images, a description and Facebook/Instagram links are premium-only — they are empty on every free listing, and the hasPaidPackage column tells you which kind of row you are looking at. Opening hours are the exception: they are commonest on premium rows (69% carry them) but 21% of free listings publish them too, and free rows supply 37% of all the schedules in a typical export — so filter on openingHours itself, never on hasPaidPackage, when hours are what you need.

A few things to note before you map the fields into your own system. openingHours is an object keyed by weekday, each day holding a status (open or closed) and a times list of {start, end} intervals — a day with a lunch break returns two intervals, a closed day returns an empty list. Every optional field arrives as null when Finder holds no value for it — including openingHours and openNow, which are null on the 63% of locations that publish no hours, so check for null before you index into the object. The single exception is images, which comes back as an empty list []. category and mainLineOfBusiness overlap by design: the full list always contains the headline category, and on 87% of rows the company lists only one line of business, so the two columns read identically — pick mainLineOfBusiness if you want just one industry column. postOffice comes through in capitals (HELSINKI), the Finnish Posti convention, while city is title-cased. And phone is the number exactly as the company publishes it, which in Finland means the national format (09 596 659, 044 402 1660) rather than +358 — normalize it yourself if your dialer needs E.164.

Turning on includePeople adds a second kind of row. A person record names an individual rather than a business, so name is a personal name, jobTitle and employerName are filled in, and companyForm, status, openingHours, images and description are null — those are registry and premium-listing fields a person does not have. The businessId, streetAddress and website on a person row belong to their employer, whose own company row normally appears in the same export, so group on recordType before you count companies. Leave the option off and every row is a business, exactly as in the example above.

Identity

Field	Type	Description
recordType	string	company on every business record, person on the named individuals you get when includePeople is on. Filter on it if you ever mix the two in one run.
listingId	string	Unique ID for this specific business location. Two outlets of the same company share a businessId but have different listingIds — use it to deduplicate locations.
name	string	Registered company or location name
tradingName	string	Trading name or alias, when the company uses one
businessId	string	Official Finnish business ID (Y-tunnus), hyphenated (e.g. 2467766-5). Shared by every location of the same company.
companyForm	string	Legal form, written out in full as the Finnish trade register spells it — never the Oy/Tmi abbreviations. Observed values: Osakeyhtiö (81.4% of rows), Yksityinen elinkeinonharjoittaja — the sole-trader form (13.8%), Kommandiittiyhtiö (3.2%), Avoin yhtiö (0.9%), plus Osuuskunta, Kiinteistöosakeyhtiö, Julkinen osakeyhtiö, Aatteellinen yhdistys and a few rarer forms.
status	string	Company status: Active, Dissolved, or Bankruptcy
category	string	The headline line of business Finder files this profile under — the same one that appears in the profile url.
mainLineOfBusiness	string	Every line of business Finder lists for the company, comma-separated. It always contains category; on 87% of rows the company lists only that one line, so the two columns are byte-identical, and on the other 13% this is the longer of the two. If you want a single industry column, use this one.

Contact

Field	Type	Description
phone	string	Published phone number for this location, in Finnish national format (09 596 659) rather than +358
mobile	string	Finder's mobile field. In practice it repeats the same number as phone rather than adding a second line.
email	string	Company email address
website	string	Company website URL
facebookUrl	string	Facebook profile URL, when the company publishes one
instagramUrl	string	Instagram profile URL, normalized from Finder's bare handle, when published

Address & Geo

Field	Type	Description
streetAddress	string	Street address
postalCode	string	Postal code
postOffice	string	Post office (post town) name, in capitals as Finnish Posti writes it — HELSINKI
city	string	City this location is in
province	string	Region (maakunta) this location is in, derived from its own postal address — not the parent company's registered region
latitude	number	Latitude for mapping, when Finder holds coordinates for this location
longitude	number	Longitude for mapping, present on the same rows as latitude

Hours & Media

Field	Type	Description
openingHours	object | null	Weekly opening hours keyed by weekday (monday … sunday). Each day is an object: status (open or closed) plus times, a list of {"start": "17:00", "end": "23:00"} intervals — two entries for a day with a midday break, an empty list when closed. All seven weekdays for businesses that publish hours; null — not an empty object — for the 63% that don't, so test for null before you index into it.
openNow	boolean | null	Whether the business is open at extraction time; present on exactly the same rows as openingHours, and null on the rest
logo	string	Company logo URL, served from Finder's image CDN (premium Finder listings)
images	string[]	Gallery of up to 20 profile and cover image URLs on Finder's image CDN (premium Finder listings)
description	string	Company description text, when the company publishes one

Meta

Field	Type	Description
hasPaidPackage	boolean	Whether the company runs a premium Finder.fi listing
jobTitle	string	The person's role as Finder publishes it (myyntijohtaja, kiinteistönvälittäjä LKV, kaupanvahvistaja). Only on person rows; null on company rows.
employerName	string	The company the person works for. Only on person rows; null on company rows.
searchKeyword	string	The search term that surfaced this company — your keyword with location appended when you set one (ravintola Helsinki), or the term read out of a pasted search URL
url	string	Direct link to this location's Finder.fi profile page, in the form finder.fi/{category}/{name}/{post town}/yhteystiedot/{listingId}

Tips for Best Results

• Use Finnish keywords — Finnish terms like "ravintola" (restaurant), "hotelli" (hotel), or "autokorjaamo" (auto repair) return far more matches than their English equivalents, since the directory is Finnish-first.
• Paste a search URL so you don't rebuild the search — run the search on Finder.fi first, then paste that link into searchUrls; the search words, page number and sort order carry over exactly. Finder.fi has no category or location setting in a link, so if you clicked anything else on the site the run tells you it couldn't be applied instead of handing you an unfiltered set.
• Scope a pasted URL to a city by putting the city in what — Finder.fi folds the location into the search term, so write ?what=hotelli+Helsinki (not a separate location parameter) to keep a pasted search limited to one city.
• Combine keyword + city to narrow a crowded category — broad terms like "ravintola" return thousands of hits nationwide; add a location such as "Helsinki" to focus on one market.
• Start small, then scale — set maxResults to 10-50 on your first run to confirm the data fits your needs, then raise the cap.
• Filter on status after the run — keep only Active companies to drop dissolved and bankrupt entities before importing into your CRM.
• Each location is its own lead — a company with several outlets returns one row per location, each with its own street address and, wherever Finder publishes one, its own phone number (85% of rows overall, 51-98% by vertical), so you reach every branch. If you instead want a single row per legal entity, group your results by businessId after the run and keep the first row in each group.
• Let hasPaidPackage tell you which rows will be rich — but not for opening hours — logos, images, descriptions and social links come only from businesses that pay Finder for a premium listing, so filter on that column when a workflow depends on those four. Hours behave differently: 21% of free listings publish them too, and free rows account for 37% of every schedule in a typical export, so filtering hours on hasPaidPackage throws away more than a third of them — filter on openingHours itself instead. Premium rows carry coordinates 100% of the time; 97% of the locations that arrive without coordinates still ship a full street-level postal address you can geocode yourself.
• Search the industry, not the job title — Finnish job titles like kiinteistönvälittäjä (estate agent), asianajaja (lawyer) or toimitusjohtaja (managing director) make Finder return mostly named individuals, so a company-only run comes back thin or empty. Search the industry noun instead — kiinteistönvälitys, asianajotoimisto — or turn on includePeople when the named contact is what you actually want. Either way the run states how many people it set aside, so you always know whether a thin result set means "no such businesses" or "they were all people".
• Match records by Y-tunnus — the hyphenated businessId is the most reliable join key for matching a location back to its parent company in existing Finnish company data; listingId uniquely identifies each individual location.
• Run multiple keywords in one job — list several related industry terms in keywords to sweep a whole sector in a single run instead of one job per term. The same location matching more than one of your keywords is returned only once, so you never pay twice for the identical listing in a single run.
