KRS Poland Business Registry Scraper

Scrape official Polish company data from the National Court Register (KRS) by KRS number. Get the full current excerpt for any business, association, or foundation in one flat record. No login, no API key. Export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML.

The Polish National Court Register (Krajowy Rejestr Sądowy) holds the legal filings for every registered company, association, and foundation in Poland. Getting structured data out means either manual lookups on the government portal or building a parser for its HTML. This Actor reads the official public excerpts directly, so you get the current registration details for a list of KRS numbers in one run.

Who uses it What they scrape KRS Poland for
Compliance officers Verify a Polish counterparty's registration status and legal representatives before signing a contract.
Business data resellers Enrich a CRM with official Polish company names, addresses, and share capital from the primary source.
Investigative journalists Pull the board members and supervisory board of a set of Polish foundations or associations.
Procurement teams Check that a Polish supplier is an active entrepreneur and not in bankruptcy or liquidation.

What it does

This Actor collects the full current excerpt for each KRS number you provide and returns every section as a flat row.

  • 🏢 Entrepreneurs and associations: choose registry type 'P' for companies or 'S' for foundations and associations.
  • 🔢 Bulk KRS lookup: paste up to a million 10-digit KRS numbers and get the full excerpt for each.
  • 📋 Fixed schema: every run returns the same fields, so your downstream pipeline stays stable.

Results export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML, or straight from the API.

Troubleshooting

Why did some of my KRS numbers return no data?

Check that the number is exactly 10 digits and belongs to the registry type you selected. A number for an association will not return data if you chose type P for entrepreneurs.

The run is slow when I provide thousands of KRS numbers.

The Actor reads the public portal sequentially to avoid being blocked. For large lists, expect roughly one lookup per second. You can split the list across multiple runs.

I got a timeout error on some numbers.

The government portal can be slow during business hours in Poland. The Actor retries automatically. If timeouts persist, reduce the maxItems and run the list in smaller batches.

The NIP field is empty for a company I know has one.

The Actor returns exactly what the public excerpt contains. Some older entries may not have the NIP populated in the register. Verify the number on the official KRS portal manually.

Can I get the data in English?

The official register is maintained in Polish only. The Actor returns the original Polish text. You can use a translation API on the exported dataset if needed.

FAQ

Question Answer
What is a KRS number? A KRS number is a 10-digit identifier assigned to every entity registered in the Polish National Court Register. You can find it on a company's website, on their invoices, or by searching the public KRS portal.
Does this Actor return historical excerpts or only the current one? It returns the current full excerpt as shown on the public portal. Historical filings are not included.
What is the difference between registry type P and S? Type P covers entrepreneurs, which includes commercial companies like sp. z o.o. and S.A. Type S covers associations, foundations, and other non-commercial organizations.
Can I search by company name instead of KRS number? No, this Actor looks up entities by their 10-digit KRS number. You need to obtain the KRS number first, for example from a VAT invoice or a web search.
Is the data in Polish or English? The data is returned as it appears in the official register, which is in Polish. Field names are in English for easier processing.
Does this Actor provide the NIP or REGON numbers? Yes, the current excerpt includes the NIP and REGON identifiers when they are present in the register.
How many KRS numbers can I look up in one run? You can set the maximum up to one million. The Actor processes each number sequentially and respects the portal's response time.
Do I need a Polish IP address to use this Actor? No, the public KRS portal is accessible from any location. The Actor runs on Apify's infrastructure and does not require a Polish IP.
What format does the output come in? You can export your dataset to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML from the Apify console or via API.
Does the Actor handle KRS numbers for entities that have been dissolved? If the entity still has a public excerpt available, the Actor will return it. If the number is no longer in the register, that lookup will be skipped.
