Proff.no Scraper

Pull Norwegian company records from proff.no at scale — 9-digit organisation numbers, credit ratings, NACE industry codes, revenue and operating profit in NOK, verified phone, mobile, fax and email, websites, visitor and postal addresses, employee counts and named contacts, all in one clean row per company. Built for Norwegian B2B sales teams, market researchers, credit and risk analysts, and recruiters who need structured business intelligence without copying it out of proff.no one company page at a time.

Why This Scraper?

• 9-digit organisation number (orgnr) on every record — the unique Brønnøysundregistrene identifier that lets you dedupe, enrich, and join against any other Norwegian business dataset.
• Credit rating on every company — the proff.no rating (e.g. A+) surfaced as its own field, so risk and credit teams can screen a whole result set in one pass instead of opening profiles one by one.
• Financials in NOK — revenue and operating profit (in thousands NOK), reporting currency, and the accounts year (e.g. 2025) the figures cover, all delivered ready to sort and filter.
• Full NACE industry classification — every industry the company is registered under by name, plus its primary current industry, for precise sector targeting.
• Verified contact block — primary and secondary phone, mobile, fax, email, and company website pulled straight from each listing, ideal for outbound prospecting lists.
• All of Norway across 16 regions — filter a keyword search to any one of the 15 post-2024 fylker (Oslo, Akershus, Vestland, Rogaland, Trøndelag, Innlandet, Agder, Østfold, Buskerud, Vestfold, Nordland, Møre og Romsdal, Telemark, Troms, Finnmark) plus Svalbard.
• Two registered addresses — separate visitor address and postal address, each with street, postal code, and city, plus employee count as an exact number or band (e.g. 1–4).
• ~28 fields per company on one flat row — identity, status, contact, addresses, financials, credit rating, industries, named contact person, certificates, logo URL, and a direct proff.no profile link, with empty fields stripped to keep results clean.
• Three ways to target data — paste proff.no search-result URLs, search by keyword or company name, or narrow to a single region; zero-result searches return a clear, actionable message rather than failing silently.

Getting Started

Search by Keyword

The simplest way to start — a single business or industry keyword:

{
    "searchTerm": "restaurant",
    "maxResults": 100
}

Narrow to a Region

Limit a keyword search to a single Norwegian county (fylke):

{
    "searchTerm": "bygg",
    "county": "Vestland",
    "maxResults": 50
}

Paste a Search URL

Reuse the filters from any proff.no search-result page — just paste the URL:

{
    "startUrls": [
        "https://www.proff.no/bransjesøk?q=frisør&county=Oslo"
    ],
    "maxResults": 200
}

Collect Everything for a Search

Set maxResults to 0 to pull the full result set (a built-in 100,000 safety limit applies):

{
    "searchTerm": "Equinor",
    "county": "Rogaland",
    "maxResults": 0
}

Input Reference

What to Scrape

Provide search URLs, or type a search term — you only need one of the two.

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
startUrls	array	[]	Paste proff.no search-result URLs. Any filters already in the URL (industry, location, etc.) are applied automatically. Leave empty if you'd rather build a search using the fields below.
searchTerm	string	"restaurant"	A business or industry keyword, or a company name to search for (e.g. restaurant, bygg, Equinor). Leave empty if you're using Search URLs above.

Search Filters

This filter applies only to the Search Term. When using Search URLs, all filters come from the URL itself.

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
county	select	null	Limit results to one Norwegian county (fylke): Oslo, Akershus, Vestland, Rogaland, Trøndelag, Innlandet, Agder, Østfold, Buskerud, Vestfold, Nordland, Møre og Romsdal, Telemark, Troms, Finnmark, or Svalbard. Leave blank to search all of Norway.

Options

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
maxResults	integer	100	Maximum number of companies to return across all searches and URLs. Set to 0 to collect as many as are available (a built-in safety limit of 100,000 applies). Tip: start with 10-50 to test, then increase.

Output

Each company is returned as one flat record. Empty fields are omitted to keep results clean.

Tips for Best Results

• Start with maxResults set to 10-50 to preview the data, then raise it once the search looks right.
• A keyword in searchTerm runs the broadest industry-and-name match — try a sector word like bygg or restaurant rather than an exact company name for the widest coverage.
• Power-user tip: filter a search on proff.no exactly how you want it, then copy the page URL straight into startUrls — every filter in that URL is reused, so you never have to rebuild it here.
• Shard a large industry by region — run the same searchTerm once per fylke (county) to break a huge sector into clean, regional batches you can process and store separately.
• revenue and profit are reported in thousands NOK — multiply by 1,000 for the figure in kroner.
• Use creditRating to pre-screen a result set before outreach or underwriting; it lets you triage thousands of companies without opening a single profile.
• Set maxResults to 0 to collect every available company for a search; for broad keywords this can be a very large dataset, so confirm your filters first.
