eInforma Scraper — Spanish Company Register Data

Search and extract Spanish company data from eInforma, the largest Spanish company-information directory built on top of the BORME (Boletín Oficial del Registro Mercantil, the official gazette of the Spanish commercial registers). Look up a company by name or CIF and get the CIF/VAT number, legal form, registered address, founding date, telephone, headcount, CNAE industry code, corporate purpose, share capital, and the linked provincial Registro Mercantil office. No API key, no login, no cookies required. The actor reads eInforma's public, free company-profile pages.

eInforma is one of the main public windows into Spain's commercial registers. This actor turns a plain company-name search into a clean, structured list of company profiles you can drop into a CRM, a KYC/ due-diligence workflow, or a sales-prospecting spreadsheet, without clicking through the site by hand.

How to scrape eInforma data

This actor reads eInforma's own public search page and company profile pages. It returns one structured record per matching company, with the same information you'd see by clicking through the website yourself, but structured and bulk-exportable via the Apify API, CSV/Excel/JSON export, or scheduled runs.

Search by company name or CIF

Enter a company name (e.g. Mercadona, Iberdrola) or a CIF/VAT number (e.g. A46103834) in Company Name or CIF. eInforma's search matches on trade name, legal name, and CIF.

Filter by province

Set Province Filter to restrict results to one Spanish province, either the province name (e.g. Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia) or eInforma's own 2-digit province code (e.g. 28 for Madrid). Leave empty to search across all 52 Spanish provinces at once.

Result limit

Max Results caps how many company profiles the actor fetches and pushes per run (default 50, maximum 200). eInforma's own search returns a limited set of name matches per query, so a run often returns fewer rows than the cap. In test runs "Iberdrola" with Max Results 20 returned 12 companies, and "panaderia" with Max Results 200 returned 17. For broader coverage, run several narrower queries.

Common use cases

• Build B2B prospecting lists enriched with CIF, address, legal form, and industry code.
• Verify a supplier's, customer's, or partner's legal identity, registration status, and registered province before signing a contract.
• KYC / AML pre-checks: pull CIF, legal form, share capital, and BORME filing history in one pass.
• Feed structured Spanish company data into CRM enrichment or market-research pipelines.
• Monitor recent BORME activity (incorporations, dissolutions, appointments) for a list of target companies.

Cost estimate

Pay per event: $0.005 per company returned, plus $0.01 per GB of memory when the run starts (the default is 4 GB, which is $0.04). Measured runs: one CIF lookup returned 1 row in 7 seconds, a name search returned 12 rows in 56 seconds, and a search for a generic term returned 17 rows in 65 seconds. A run only charges for rows it returns.

Limitations

• A lookup that finds nothing (an unknown CIF, a name with no match, a profile URL that no longer exists) ends SUCCEEDED with 0 rows and a status message that says so. A run only FAILS when eInforma could not be loaded.
• eInforma's own search returns a limited set of closest name matches per query (similar to typing into the site's search box by hand). It is not an exhaustive substring search across its full database. For broader coverage, run multiple narrower queries.
• Full financial statements, credit-risk scores, and paid PDF reports are not available through this actor: only the free public profile fields are scraped.
• Small entities (comunidades de bienes, sole traders) have thin free profiles. In the "panaderia" test run, all 17 rows had no business purpose, share capital, Registro Mercantil or last BORME act, 16 had no telephone, and none had a headcount. Empty text fields come back as an empty string and a missing headcount as null. Company name, CIF, address, legal form and CNAE code were filled on every row.
• Companies that no longer exist are returned with a marker in the name, for example IBERDROLA CORPORACION SA (EXTINGUIDA), and a last BORME act of "Extinción".
• With Province Filter set, results are limited to that province. "Mercadona" with province Madrid returned one row, IMAPA RESTAURACION S.L., not Mercadona SA (registered in Valencia).
