🧪 ECHA Europe Chemicals Registry Scraper

🚀 Export the European Chemicals Agency public registry in seconds. Substance names, CAS numbers, EC numbers, hazard classifications, and registrant counts.

🕒 Last updated: 2026-05-29 · 📊 9 fields per record · 100,000+ substances · CLP and REACH coverage

The ECHA Europe Chemicals Registry Scraper turns the echa.europa.eu public substance search into a structured dataset. It queries ECHA's substance API and returns one row per matching substance with identifiers, classification, and registration metadata.

Coverage spans the substances published in ECHA's Information on Chemicals portal, including REACH-registered and CLP-classified substances.

📋 What the ECHA Europe Chemicals Registry Scraper does

• Queries the public ECHA substance search API with a free text term.
• Flattens each substance result into a normalized record.
• Joins hazard statements into a single string for easy spreadsheet use.
• Surfaces upstream errors as a single diagnostic row.

💡 Why it matters: ECHA's public viewer is paginated and requires multiple clicks per substance. This actor returns the underlying API data directly.
