EGRUL Russia Business Registry Scraper

EGRUL Russia Business Registry Scraper

Scrape official Russian business registry data by company name, INN, or OGRN. Get registration date, legal address, director, and authorized capital for any legal entity or sole entrepreneur. Export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML.

The Russian Unified State Register of Legal Entities (EGRUL) holds the official record for every business in Russia, but its web interface is slow for bulk lookups. This Actor queries the public registry directly using a company name, INN, or OGRN and returns structured data for each match. No browser, no captcha solving, and no manual copying.

Who uses it	What they scrape EGRUL for
Compliance officers	Verify a Russian supplier's legal status and director before signing a contract.
Financial analysts	Pull authorized capital and registration dates for due diligence reports.
Sales teams	Enrich a lead list of Russian companies with official addresses and tax IDs.
Academic researchers	Build a dataset of Russian firm registrations by region or activity code.

What it does

This Actor collects official company records from the Russian EGRUL business registry by tax ID or name and returns each entity as a flat row.

• 🔍 Flexible search: query by INN (tax ID), OGRN (primary state registration number), or full company name in Russian or transliteration.
• 🏢 Entity type filter: limit results to legal entities (OOO, AO), sole entrepreneurs (IP), or return both in one run.
• 📊 Structured output: every record returns the same flat schema with registration date, legal address, director name, and authorized capital.

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

Troubleshooting

Why am I getting no results?

Check that the INN or OGRN is exactly 10, 12, or 13 digits with no spaces or dashes. For name searches, try the exact Cyrillic spelling from an official document. Also verify the entity type filter is not excluding your target.

The run finished but the dataset is empty.

The registry may not have a record matching your query. Try broadening the search: use fewer words from the company name, or switch the entity type to 'Both' to catch sole entrepreneurs.

I got a result but the address looks incomplete.

The Actor returns the legal address exactly as registered. Some older registrations have abbreviated or free-form addresses. There is no geocoding or normalization step.

The run timed out.

Lower the 'Maximum companies' value. The registry API can be slow under heavy load, and requesting too many records in one run may exceed the default timeout.

FAQ

Question	Answer
What is the difference between INN and OGRN?	INN is the taxpayer identification number assigned to every legal entity and individual entrepreneur. OGRN is the primary state registration number assigned when a legal entity is first created. Both are accepted as a query.
Can I search by a person's name?	You can search for a sole entrepreneur (IP) by their full name. For legal entities, you can search by the director's name if it appears in the company's registered name, but the registry does not support a direct director-name lookup.
Does this work for companies registered in other EAEU countries?	No, this Actor queries only the Russian Federation's EGRUL registry. It does not cover registries in Belarus, Kazakhstan, Armenia, or Kyrgyzstan.
What information is returned for each company?	The Actor returns the full official name, INN, OGRN, KPP, registration date, legal address, current status, director name, and authorized capital. The exact fields are shown in the sample output on the Actor's page.
Is the data returned in English or Russian?	The data is returned in Russian, exactly as it appears in the official registry. Company names and addresses are in Cyrillic.
How many companies can I scrape in one run?	You set the maximum with the 'Maximum companies' input field. The Actor will stop after collecting that many matches, up to 1,000,000 per run.
Do I need a Russian IP address or a proxy?	No, the public EGRUL API is accessible from any IP address. The Actor runs on Apify's infrastructure without any special proxy configuration.
What does 'entity type' control?	It filters the search to legal entities (like OOO or AO), sole entrepreneurs (IP), or returns both. This helps narrow results when a name matches multiple types.
Can I search with a Latin transliteration of a company name?	Yes, the search accepts transliterated names and will attempt to match them against the official Cyrillic records.
