DENUE Mexico Business Directory & Company Database Scraper

Scrapes establishment data from DENUE, Mexico's national economic unit registry maintained by INEGI. This Mexico company directory scraper returns geo coordinates, SCIAN industry codes, employee ranges, contact details, and full addresses for 5.5M+ active businesses — a searchable Mexican company database filtered by state, keyword, or sector.

DENUE Scraper Features

• Extracts up to 5.5M Mexican business listings from the official INEGI DENUE database
• Filters by state (entidad federativa) — search the Mexican company directory by state, all 32 states plus national
• Filters by activity keyword (e.g., "restaurante", "farmacia", "construccion") or pulls all establishments
• Returns geo coordinates (latitude/longitude) for every record — map-ready out of the box
• Includes SCIAN industry class descriptions and employee range (estrato) for sector classification
• Collects contact info where available: phone number, email, website
• Outputs full structured addresses: street, exterior number, interior number, neighborhood, postal code
• Handles DENUE's offset-based pagination automatically — just set maxItems and walk away
• Uses the official INEGI REST API — no browser, no proxy required

How DENUE Scraper Works

1. Provide a free INEGI API token. Register at inegi.org.mx — enter your email and the token arrives automatically.
2. Set your filters. Choose a state code (09 for CDMX, 00 for all states) and an activity keyword, or leave the keyword blank to pull all businesses in the state.
3. The scraper paginates through DENUE. It fetches records in batches, stopping at your maxItems limit or when the dataset is exhausted.
4. Output lands in your Apify dataset. Clean JSON with 20 fields per establishment, ready for export or downstream processing.

🔍 FAQ

How do I get a DENUE API token?

DENUE Scraper requires a free INEGI API token. Go to inegi.org.mx/app/api/denue/v1/tokenVerify.aspx, enter your email address, and the token arrives in your inbox within a minute. No account signup, no payment — INEGI provides this as a public data service.

How much does DENUE Scraper cost to run?

DENUE Scraper charges $0.10 per run plus $0.001 per record — about $1.10 for 1,000 establishments. Scraping all 5.5M records would cost roughly $5,600 in data charges plus platform costs, which is why the maxItems default is conservative. Start small.

Can I scrape all of Mexico at once?

Set entidad to "00" and keyword to "0" to pull all establishments in all states. The dataset contains 5.5M+ records, so set maxItems to a realistic target and plan for a long run. DENUE is a government API with no formal rate limits — the scraper adds a 500ms delay between pages to stay polite.

Does DENUE Scraper need proxies?

No. It calls the official INEGI DENUE REST API directly. No browser, no headless rendering, no proxy required.

How do I find companies in Mexico by state?

Set entidad to the two-digit state code (for example 19 for Nuevo León or 14 for Jalisco) and leave keyword empty to pull every establishment in that state. This turns DENUE into a company lookup by state — each record carries the trade name, legal name (razón social), SCIAN activity, address, and geo coordinates, so you get a state-scoped Mexican company database without touching the rest of the country.

What does the employee range (estrato) field mean?

The estrato field uses DENUE's standard personnel strata: "0 a 5 personas", "6 a 10 personas", "11 a 30 personas", "31 a 50 personas", "51 a 100 personas", "101 a 250 personas", "251 y más personas". It's a proxy for company size, not an exact headcount.

Why Use DENUE Scraper?

• Official source — Pulls directly from INEGI's DENUE API, the same database used by the Mexican government for economic census and planning.
• Geo-ready output — Every record includes latitude and longitude coordinates, so you can map results immediately without a geocoding step.
• Free token, no scraping friction — The INEGI token takes 60 seconds to obtain and is genuinely free, which puts this dataset in a different category from most paid business directories.
