North Data API
North Data Company Register API for German and European Company Data
Scrappa's North Data API returns structured JSON from the public North Data site, the company register search engine for Germany and Europe. Search companies and people by name, read the company profile with register id, address, officers, key financial figures, balance sheet, register history and publications, list companies around a location or with recent register changes, and read the register source catalogue. Scrappa reads public data of the free North Data site and is not the official North Data API.

North Data scraper API
North Data API for company register data, officers and financial figures
The North Data API is built for due diligence, lead enrichment and company monitoring in Germany and Europe. The company endpoint returns the register id, the address, the legal officers with their roles, the latest key financial figures, the balance sheet tree, the register history and the publication list. The search, nearby and changes endpoints find companies by name, by location and by register change. Person pages show name, city and linked companies only, because the free site shows no role dates or birth data.

Frequently asked questions
No. Scrappa is an independent service and is not affiliated with or endorsed by North Data. North Data sells its own paid Data API. The Scrappa North Data API returns structured JSON from public pages of the free North Data site through a Scrappa API key.
The free site shows 15 hits per page and 45 hits per query. Offset 45 and above returns an empty list. Use a more exact name or the nearby and changes endpoints to reach more companies.
Name, city and the linked companies with their page paths, as the free site shows them. There are no role titles, no role dates and no birth data. To remove a person from the data, write to [email protected].
Take the uri field of a search or suggest result and pass it unchanged. For people, take the uri of a person-search result. Do not build these paths yourself.
Every Scrappa account includes 500 free credits each month. After that, each request costs one credit, which works out to $0.20 to $0.30 per 1,000 requests depending on the credit pack or plan. Requests that return no usable data are never charged.
