Companies House UK Scraper & Monitor
Pricing
from $1.40 / 1,000 companies
Companies House scraper using the official API: search UK companies, officers, PSC, charges and filings. Get daily new-incorporation lead lists by SIC code and postcode, monitor watchlist changes, export JSON, CSV or Excel. Pay per result, from $2 per 1,000 companies.
What to do. lookup = company profile by number or name; search = name search; officers / psc / filings / charges = detail rows for each company; new-incorporations = feed of newly registered companies; monitor = detect changes on a watchlist since the last run.
Used by lookup, search, officers, psc, filings and charges. Company numbers (for example 00445790 or SC123456) are looked up directly; anything else is treated as a company name. In search mode every entry is a search phrase.
Lookup mode only: extra detail rows to fetch for every company. Each row is billed as an officer-psc event.
[]Maximum number of billable result rows for the whole run. The run stops when this is reached. Free Apify plan users are capped at 25.
Your free API key from developer.company-information.service.gov.uk (REST key). Leave empty to use the shared key pool if the Actor owner configured one. Your own key gives you your own 600 requests per 5 minutes.
Officers mode only: also return officers who have resigned. Off = active officers only.
Filings mode only: keep only these categories, for example accounts, confirmation-statement, officers, mortgage, insolvency, address, incorporation. Empty = all.
[]New-incorporations mode: earliest incorporation date. Leave empty to use Days back instead.
New-incorporations mode: latest incorporation date. Empty = today.
New-incorporations mode: used when Incorporated from is empty. 1 = yesterday and today.
New-incorporations mode: only companies with at least one of these SIC codes, for example 62020 (IT consultancy) or 56101 (restaurants). Empty = any.
[]New-incorporations mode: free-text registered-office location filter passed to the API, for example London or Manchester.
New-incorporations mode: keep only companies whose registered postcode starts with one of these prefixes (for example EC1, M1, SW). Applied after the API search.
[]New-incorporations mode: fetch officers for every new company, add officerNames to the row and return one officer row each (billed as officer-psc). Slower: one extra API request per company.
Monitor mode: companies to watch. The first run stores a baseline and reports nothing; later runs report changes.
[]Monitor mode: which data to compare. profile = status, name, address, accounts and confirmation-statement dates; filings = new filings; charges; officers; psc. Every watched item costs one API request per company per run.
[ "profile", "filings"]Monitor mode: named key-value store that keeps the previous snapshot between runs. Use a different name per watchlist.
