Finder.fi Scraper

Pull Finnish business listings from Finder.fi at scale — names, official business IDs (Y-tunnus), phone, mobile, email, website, social profiles, full postal address, map coordinates, opening hours, and company status, one clean row per business location. A company that operates several outlets returns one row per outlet — every branch with its own address, phone, and coordinates — so you capture each contactable location, not just the head office. Search by keyword and city, or paste a Finder.fi search link and reuse its exact filters. 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 GPS, 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 — latitude and longitude on every record, so you can plot results, run radius searches, or feed a territory map without geocoding addresses yourself.
• Full direct contact set — separate phone, mobile, email, and website fields per company, so dialers and email tools get exactly the channel they need.
• Facebook and Instagram profiles — normalized social URLs alongside the website, ready for social-selling and account research.
• 7-day opening hours plus a live open-now flag — the complete weekly schedule for each business, plus a boolean telling you whether it is open at scrape time.
• Company form and active/inactive status — legal form (Oy, Ay, Tmi, and more) and a normalized status (Active, Dissolved, Bankruptcy) so you can filter out dead entities before they hit your CRM.
• Complete Finnish postal address — street, postal code, post office, city, and province as discrete fields, not one mashed-together string.
• Keyword + city search or paste-a-URL — run Finnish industry terms across all of Finland or one city, or paste a Finder.fi search link to reuse its built-in category filters exactly.
• Logo and image gallery — the company logo plus a bounded gallery of profile and cover images for brand and creative research.

    "keywords": ["autokorjaamo"],
    "location": "Tampere",
    "maxResults": 200
}

Paste a Finder.fi Search URL

Reuse the exact filters from a search you built on the site:

Input Reference

What to Scrape

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
searchUrls	string[]	[]	Paste Finder.fi search-result URLs. Any filters already in the URL (category, location, etc.) are applied automatically. 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 — not to Search URLs.

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 coordinates. Here's a representative result:

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 to reuse category filters — build a search on Finder.fi with the exact category and location you want, then paste that URL into searchUrls; the actor reuses those filters precisely, no rebuilding required.
• 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 address, phone, and coordinates, 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.
• 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.

Pricing
