European Company Registry API – France, Norway, Finland (unified)

Search, enrich or monitor newly registered companies across three official European business registers through one clean schema:

Country	Registry	Licence
FR	recherche-entreprises.api.gouv.fr (INSEE Sirene + RNE)	Licence Ouverte 2.0
NO	Brønnøysund Enhetsregisteret (data.brreg.no)	NLOD 2.0
FI	PRH / YTJ open data v3 (avoindata.prh.fi)	CC BY 4.0

Modes

• search: find companies by name or keyword in the selected countries.
• newCompanies: list companies registered since a date (NO, FI), optionally filtered by NACE code. Use it to build fresh B2B lead lists (e.g. new software companies, NACE 62, registered this week).
• lookup: enrich a list of SIREN/SIRET numbers, Norwegian organisasjonsnummer or Finnish Y-tunnus.

Why this Actor

• One schema across countries: country, registryId, name, tradingName, legalForm, legalFormCode, isLimitedCompany, status, registrationDate, foundedDate, naceCode, industry, address, city, postalCode, employees/employeesRange, shareCapital, vatRegistered, inBankruptcy, website, registryUrl, license.
• Correct NACE filtering. PRH matches NACE codes by substring on the server, so 62 also returns 46620. This Actor re-checks prefixes client-side.
• Real registration dates for Finland. It uses the trade-register entry date, not the older business-ID date.
• Data minimisation by design. Sole traders (a natural person) are excluded by default. Officer and director names are never output.
• De-duplicated. A SIREN and a SIRET of the same company produce one row.

Pricing (pay per event)

• Company record: $0.003

Notes

The registries are public open data. Respect each licence's attribution requirement; every row includes registryUrl and license.

How much does it cost?

You pay only for results (pay per event). There is no separate compute charge, and you can cap any run with Max total charge.

Scenario	Cost
30 company records (one example run)	30 × $0.003 = $0.09
Weekly new-company lead list, ~100 records/week	400 × $0.003 = $1.20 / month
Enrich a CRM list of 1,000 registry IDs (lookup)	1,000 × $0.003 = $3.00

A tiny "Actor start" event (about $0.00005) is also charged once per run.

Use it from your code or tools

Run it and get the results in one call:

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/Tendoyo~eu-company-registry/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=$APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"mode": "newCompanies", "countries": ["NO"], "naceCodes": ["62"], "daysBack": 7}'

from apify_client import ApifyClient
client = ApifyClient("<APIFY_TOKEN>")
run = client.actor("Tendoyo/eu-company-registry").call(run_input={"mode": "newCompanies", "countries": ["NO"], "naceCodes": ["62"], "daysBack": 7})
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item)

To get alerts, add a Schedule (for example daily at 07:00) with onlyNew: true where available. Then connect Slack, e-mail, Google Sheets, Make, Zapier, n8n or a webhook in the Integrations tab. It also works with AI agents through the Apify MCP server.

FAQ

Why only France, Norway and Finland? These registries publish free, well-licensed APIs with reliable data. More countries will be added based on demand. Open an issue to request one.

Does it include directors or owners? No. Officer, director and owner names are never output, and sole traders (natural persons) are excluded by default. Rows describe companies only.

Can I find newly registered companies in France? The French source does not expose a reliable "registered since" filter, so newCompanies covers NO and FI. Use search or lookup for France.

Is the NACE filter exact? Yes. Codes are re-checked client-side as prefixes, so 62 returns 62.xxx only, not 46.62.

Can I use the data commercially? All three sources are open data (Licence Ouverte 2.0, NLOD 2.0, CC BY 4.0) and allow commercial reuse with attribution; each row includes license and registryUrl.
