Latvia Companies Registry Scraper

Latvia Companies Registry Scraper

Scrape official Latvian company records from the data.gov.lv open dataset, up to a million per run. Every record returns the registration number, name, legal form, address, and registered capital. No login or API key. Export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML.

The Latvian Register of Enterprises publishes its company data as a public dataset on data.gov.lv, but downloading and parsing the full file takes time and technical effort. This Actor reads that dataset directly, lets you search by company name or registration number, and returns only the records you need in a clean, flat schema. It is the fastest way to get official Latvian company information without writing a single line of code.

Troubleshooting

Why am I getting no results?

Check your query spelling. The search matches against the company name and registration number fields. Try a shorter or partial name, or remove the query entirely to confirm the dataset is accessible.

The run stopped before reaching my maxItems limit.

The Actor can only return as many records as exist in the dataset and match your query. If you set maxItems to 10,000 but only 500 companies match, you will get 500 results.

Some fields are empty in my results.

Not every company record in the official dataset has every field populated. Empty fields reflect missing data at the source, not an error in the Actor.

The run is taking a long time.

Large maxItems values mean the Actor must read more records from the dataset. Reduce maxItems or narrow your search query to speed up the run.

I get an error about the resource ID.

The default resource ID points to the current UR dataset. If the publisher changes the dataset ID on data.gov.lv, update the resourceId field with the new identifier.
