North Data Scraper

🏢 North Data Scraper

Turn North Data into clean, structured European company data. Search by company name or paste North Data profile URLs and get one row per company with the register number and court, LEI, address, status, officers with roles and appointment dates, published financials, company history and the latest register publications. No North Data account, no login, and it costs less per company.

✨ Why use North Data Scraper?

• 🇪🇺 All of Europe in one place — North Data combines dozens of national registers (German Handelsregister, UK Companies House, French Siren, Danish CVR, Austrian Firmenbuch, Dutch KVK and more). One scraper covers them all.
• 👔 Officers with dates — every company row lists its officers and representatives with their role and, where North Data publishes it, the date they joined or left.
• 📈 Financials as numbers — revenue, earnings, total assets, patents and public funding as year-by-year values, not screenshots.
• 🕰️ History and publications — registration, renames, address changes, mergers, liquidation, plus the latest register announcements.
• 🔗 Related companies — optionally add parent companies, subsidiaries and other linked companies from the network graph.
• ⚡ Fast and cheap — plain HTTP over rotating residential IPs, about 10 companies in parallel (150 companies in about 25 seconds in our tests).

🎯 Use cases

• 🧲 B2B lead lists — find companies by name, sector keyword or city and enrich them with register data and decision makers.
• 🕵️ KYC and due diligence — pull the register number, court, LEI, legal status and current management of a counterparty.
• 📊 Market and competitor research — follow the published revenue and earnings of companies in your market.
• 🗂️ CRM enrichment — resolve a company name to its official register identity, address and founding date.
• 📰 Research and journalism — map management changes, mergers and group structures across European registers.

💰 Pricing

You pay per company saved: $2.40 per 1,000 companies ($0.0024 each). Officers, financials, history and publications are included in that price. Searches that find nothing cost nothing.

Example: 1,000 companies cost $2.40 in company results plus a few cents of platform usage (compute and about 25 KB of residential proxy traffic per company, typically under $0.10 per 1,000 companies).

❓ FAQ

Is it legal to scrape North Data? The scraper only reads pages that North Data shows publicly to every visitor. Company register data is public record, but officer names are personal data: make sure your use complies with the GDPR and North Data's terms.

Do I need a North Data account or a proxy? No. The scraper only uses what anonymous visitors see. North Data limits how many pages one IP may open, so the scraper rotates residential proxy IPs for you (on by default).

How many companies can I get? North Data shows up to 45 matches per search to visitors without an account. Use several precise searches, or paste company URLs directly, to collect more. There is no limit on URLs.

Why are some fields empty? North Data does not publish everything for every company. Small private companies often have no financials, and older or foreign entries may lack an address or founding date. Empty fields are null or empty lists.

Which personal data does it collect about officers? Name, role, appointment dates and the link to the person's North Data page. Birth dates and home addresses are never collected.

Can I schedule it or use the API? Yes. Schedule runs in the console or start them through the API and read the dataset in JSON, CSV or Excel.

Migrating from another North Data scraper? The search, startUrls, maxItems, includeOfficers and includeFinancials inputs and the main output fields keep familiar names, so most integrations work as they are.

⚠️ Limits

• Only data shown to anonymous visitors: premium-only details (full shareholder lists, balance sheets, contact data) are not available.
• Up to 45 search matches per search term. Person matches are skipped; this scraper returns companies only.
• Search follows North Data's own ranking, so a short keyword like "BMW" may return clubs and small firms before the group itself. Paste the profile URL when you know the company.
• Search filters on North Data (country, legal form, status) need an account, so the country and active-only filters are applied to the results after loading them.
• Related companies come from North Data's network graph, which shows the closest links only (usually up to 10).
