How to use

1. Go to the Actor page on Apify Store and click "Try for free".
2. Configure your search:
   • Set Search Mode to byName.
   • Enter a Search Query (e.g., "equinor").
   • Select Countries — pick one or more: NO, DK, FI, SE.
   • Optionally set Max Results (default: 100, max: 10,000).
3. Run the Actor. Results are pushed to the default dataset.
4. Download results in JSON, CSV, or Excel from the dataset tab.

Sweden: bulk data refresh

Swedish company data comes from Bolagsverket bulk file downloads (not a live search API). Before searching Swedish companies, you need to run a one-time data refresh:

1. Set Search Mode to refreshData.
2. Run the Actor. This downloads and indexes Swedish company data into an Apify Named Key-Value Store.
3. After the refresh completes, switch back to byName mode — Swedish companies will now appear in search results.

Re-run refreshData periodically to keep the Swedish data up to date.

You can also call the Actor via the Apify API for programmatic access.

Data sources

All data comes from official government registries or authorized aggregators. No personal data is collected — only legal entity (company) data.

Pricing

$1.50 per 1,000 results (pay-per-result).

• First 100 results are free so you can validate data quality.
• Platform compute costs are minimal since the Actor primarily calls free government APIs.
• No monthly subscription — pay only for what you use.

FAQ

What company identifiers are returned? Each country uses its national registration number: organisasjonsnummer (Norway), CVR-nummer (Denmark), Y-tunnus (Finland), and organisationsnummer (Sweden, 10 digits with Luhn check digit). All are returned in the registrationNumber field, with a prefixed id for uniqueness (e.g., NO-923609016, SE-5560125790).

Is this GDPR-compliant? Yes. The Actor only returns company (legal entity) data from public government registries. No personal data (natural persons) is collected or returned.

What if one country's API is temporarily down? The Actor uses partial failure handling — if one country source fails, results from the other countries are still returned. A warning is logged identifying which country failed.

How fresh is the data? Data for Norway, Denmark, and Finland is fetched in real-time from the government APIs on each run. Swedish data comes from bulk files and is as fresh as the last refreshData run. The fetchedAt timestamp on every record tells you exactly when it was retrieved.

Can I look up a specific company by registration number? Not yet — the current version supports name-based search only (byName mode). Lookup by registration number is planned for a future update.

What are the rate limits? The Actor respects each source's rate limits internally (1-2 requests/second per source). You don't need to worry about rate limiting — it's handled automatically.
