Proff.no Business Details Scraper: Extract Norwegian Company Intelligence Data

Excerpt: Scrape comprehensive business information from Proff.no, Norway's leading company database. Extract company details, financial data, contact information, and organizational structures. Essential for B2B prospecting, market research, and competitive intelligence in the Norwegian business landscape.

Understanding Proff.no and Its Business Value

Proff.no serves as Norway's most comprehensive business information portal, providing detailed data on Norwegian companies, their finances, leadership, and operations. The platform aggregates information from official registries, financial reports, and public records, making it the go-to resource for B2B intelligence in Norway.

For businesses targeting the Norwegian market, sales teams building prospect lists, investors conducting due diligence, or researchers analyzing market dynamics, Proff.no contains invaluable data. However, manually collecting information on hundreds or thousands of companies is impractical. This scraper automates that process, delivering structured business intelligence ready for analysis or CRM integration.

What This Scraper Delivers

The Proff.no Business Details Scraper extracts complete company profiles from individual business pages on Proff.no. It captures everything from basic contact details to complex organizational relationships, premium listing indicators, and multimedia content. The tool is designed for users who need comprehensive, structured data about Norwegian companies for sales prospecting, market analysis, or competitive research.

Primary users include B2B sales teams building targeted prospect databases, market researchers analyzing industry sectors, investment firms conducting company due diligence, and data analysts tracking Norwegian business trends. The scraper provides clean, normalized data that integrates seamlessly with CRMs, business intelligence tools, or custom databases.

Input Configuration Explained

The scraper requires URLs of individual company detail pages from Proff.no.

Input example:

{
  "proxy": {
    "useApifyProxy": true,
    "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"],
    "apifyProxyCountry": "US"
  },
  "urls": [
    "https://www.proff.no/selskap/a-str%C3%B8m-larsen/oslo/produsenter/IFFJULD016D"
  ]
}

Example Screenshot:

Key configuration points:

• URLs array: Include company detail page URLs (not search results or category pages)
• Proxy settings: Residential proxies recommended to avoid detection; country selection doesn't need to match Norway for this scraper
• Multiple URLs: Add dozens or hundreds of company URLs for batch processing

The scraper processes each URL sequentially, extracting all available data fields from the company profile.

How to Use the Scraper

1. Identify target companies: Browse Proff.no or use their search to find relevant businesses, then copy individual company page URLs
2. Configure input: Add URLs to the JSON array with appropriate proxy settings
3. Run the scraper: Start execution via Apify console; typical processing time is 1-2 minutes per company
4. Review results: Check the dataset tab for data quality and completeness
5. Export data: Download in JSON for database import or CSV for spreadsheet analysis

Best practices:

• Batch URLs into groups of 50-100 for easier monitoring
• Use residential proxies for consistent access
• Schedule regular runs to maintain updated company information
• Verify URL format matches company detail pages, not search results

Error handling:

The scraper includes retry logic for temporary failures. If URLs consistently fail, ensure they're properly formatted company detail pages. Check the activity log for specific error messages.
