Dun & Bradstreet Scraper

🏢 Dun & Bradstreet Scraper

Turn the public Dun & Bradstreet business directory and article pages into structured data. Open an industry directory list, a company profile URL, or search by company name, and get name, address, phone, website, industries, and employee range as shown on the public page. No D&B login and no paid D&B data product.

✨ Why use Dun & Bradstreet Scraper?

• 🔓 No login — it reads only the public pages on dnb.com.
• 📚 Directory lists — paste a list URL such as the United States software publishers list and save the companies on it.
• 🏷️ Full public profiles — type, role, website, phone, description, NAICS and SIC industries, address, and employee ranges.
• 📰 Articles too — save the title, date, cover image, and HTML body of public D&B articles.
• 🔎 Search — look up a company name, or an article keyword, from the form.
• ✅ Honest data — values the site masks for subscribers are left out, never guessed.

🎯 Use cases

• 🧾 Lead lists — build a list of companies from a public directory page, such as one industry in one country.
• 🏭 Company enrichment — open a profile URL and save the name, address, phone, website, industries, and employee range.
• 📈 Market mapping — collect the companies listed under an industry and location.
• 📰 Content monitoring — search public D&B articles and save the text for research.
• 🔁 CRM checks — confirm a company's public profile fields before outreach.

🚀 How to use

1. Choose Mode: Companies for the business directory, Articles for public D&B articles.
2. Paste Start URLs (a company profile, a company list ending in /companies, or an article), or enter a Search term.
3. Set Maximum results (default 10).
4. Click Start. Directory pages take a short browser session, so expect roughly 40 seconds.
5. Open the dataset and export it as JSON, CSV, or Excel.

📤 Output

A directory list saves a row per company with name, URL, and location. A company profile URL returns the full public profile.

Real company profile from a test run:

💰 Pricing

$1.50 per 1,000 results, which is $0.0015 per saved company, industry page, or article.

Worked example: 100 companies cost $0.15 in result fees. Platform usage is billed separately at standard rates. Directory pages need a short browser session, which is billed as browser time. In our billing test a 10-company directory list cost about $0.041 in total, of which $0.015 was result fees and $0.015 was browser time.

❓ FAQ

Is it legal to scrape Dun & Bradstreet pages? The actor reads only public directory and article pages. You are responsible for using the data in line with Dun & Bradstreet's terms and local law.

Do I need a D&B account or my own proxy? No. Datacenter proxy is built in, and the actor handles the site's browser check with its own session.

Why are some numbers hidden? The public profile masks the D-U-N-S number, revenue, legal form, and some corporate-family counts. Those values are not guessed.

What if a list is long? maxItems caps the run. A directory list is read page by page until it runs out; D&B shows about 1,000 companies per list (973 in our software-publishers test, read in about 3 minutes). Add more lists for more rows.

Do list rows include phone and website? No. A list row has name, URL, and location. Add the company profile URL to get the full public profile.

Can I schedule it or use the API? Yes, both.

⚠️ Limits

• About 1,000 companies per directory list (D&B's own ceiling). Add more lists for more rows.
• Directory pages go through a remote browser that has to pass the site's bot check. When the check or the browser service fails, the run says so in its status message and keeps what it already saved.
• List rows do not open each profile. Pass profile URLs to get phone, website, and industries.
• Company name search reads result pages (about 24 companies each) until they run out and filters them by country. Search rows carry the name, full address and main industry from the result list; pass profile URLs for phone and website.
• Industry-analysis URLs do not get past the site's check and save no usable data.
• Key principal, year started, and competitors are not on the public page.
• The run stops if the site returns HTTP 429. Invalid or unknown pages are skipped, and a search with no public matches saves nothing.
• Expect around 40 seconds per run because of the browser session; one profile took much longer in our tests.
