GEMI Greece Scraper — Greek Business Registry & KYB Data

Search and extract Greek company data from GEMI (Γενικό Εμπορικό Μητρώο — the General Commercial Registry), Greece's official national business register run by the Ministry of Development. Look up a company by name, ΑΦΜ (tax registration number), or GEMI registration number and get its legal form, registry status, registered address, phone, email, founding date, share capital, board members, legal representatives, branch offices, and filing history — in one structured pass, straight from the same public API GEMI's own search page uses.

How to scrape Greek company register data

This actor calls GEMI's own public search and company-profile API directly — the exact endpoints publicity.businessportal.gr itself uses, no login and no API key required. It returns one structured record per matching company: a company snapshot plus its board, legal representatives, branches, and GEMI filing history, exported via the Apify API, CSV/Excel/JSON, or scheduled runs.

Search by name, ΑΦΜ, or GEMI number

Enter a company name (e.g. ΟΠΑΠ, Coca Cola), a Greek tax number/ΑΦΜ (e.g. 094024697), or an exact GEMI registration number (e.g. 263601000) in Company Name, AFM or GEMI Number — GEMI's own search matches all three transparently, so one field covers every lookup style.

Result limit

Max Results caps how many full company profiles the actor fetches per run (default 20, up to 200). GEMI paginates its search results 10 per page; the actor walks as many pages as needed to reach your limit, pacing requests to stay under GEMI's own rate limiter.

You can download the dataset in various formats such as JSON, HTML, CSV, or Excel.

Common use cases

• Build B2B prospecting lists enriched with ΑΦΜ, legal form, address, phone, and email.
• Verify a Greek supplier's, customer's, or partner's legal status, registered office, and board before signing a contract.
• KYB / KYC pre-checks — pull ΑΦΜ, legal form, registry status, share capital, and legal representative names in one pass.
• Track board and representative changes for companies you monitor, using GEMI's own filing history dates.
• Feed structured Greek company data into CRM enrichment or market-research pipelines, matching the field shape of our other European company-register actors.

Cost estimate

Pricing is pay-per-result. Each run makes one lightweight JSON search request per 10-result page plus one JSON profile request per matched company — no HTML parsing or browser rendering is used, so compute cost per run is low. A run returning 20 companies typically makes around 22 total HTTP requests, paced a couple of seconds apart to respect GEMI's own rate limiter. A run's usage cost only settles after it reports SUCCEEDED.

Tips

• A very specific query (an exact legal name, or an ΑΦΜ) returns just the matching company/branches — use this when you already know who you're looking for. A broader query (a brand or group name) returns every company and branch GEMI has on file under that name.
• Searching by ΑΦΜ returns every GEMI-registered branch that shares that tax number, which is a fast way to map out a group's full branch network.

Limitations

• GEMI's board/representative history goes back only as far as the company's own GEMI filings — older companies that migrated from the pre-2013 legacy registries may have a shorter officer history than their real incorporation date suggests.
• Contact fields (phone, email, website) are genuinely sparse for smaller or dissolved companies on the source registry itself — this mirrors what a human visitor sees on the GEMI site, not a scraping gap. Core identity fields (name, ΑΦΜ, legal form, status, address, share capital) are populated for the large majority of results.
• Full deposited financial statements and PDF filing documents are referenced by GEMI (as file paths in the filing history) but not downloaded by this actor — only the structured profile fields above are extracted.

Data source and legality

This actor reads publicly available company data directly from GEMI's own public search API, the same one publicity.businessportal.gr uses for its search page. It does not access any login-protected area, does not require an API key, and identifies itself with a standard browser user agent. Use the data in line with applicable data-protection rules, in particular when handling personal data of named board members and legal representatives returned in some results.
