Brreg company search and Norway register updates

How to use it: 3 steps

1. Make a free Apify accountApify is the cloud platform where our tools run. The free plan gives you $5 of usage every month, no credit card needed. You pay Apify, not us.
2. Paste your input and press StartNo code needed: you fill in a form (the input). It already has a working example. For example: 974760673 in Organisation numbers. Each start is one run.
3. Download the resultsWhen the run ends, the results are in a table (the dataset). Open Output, press Export and pick Excel or CSV. JSON and the API are there too.

This tool is an Apify Actor: a small program that runs on Apify. You can also run it on a schedule, for example every Monday. New to it? Read how it works, step by step and the 8 words you need first.

What it does

Norway Company Register (Brreg) & Updates reads the official Brønnøysund Register Centre (Brreg) data for Norwegian companies. Add organisation numbers for an exact lookup, search Enhetsregisteret by name, municipality, NACE code, form and status, or fetch the latest register changes with a cursor. You get one clean row per company, with form, industry, employees, addresses, dates and a clear status: active, bankrupt, deleted or not found.

• Lookup. Each organisation number (organisasjonsnummer) is an exact match. The Actor checks the MOD11 check digit first. It finds both legal units (entities, hovedenheter) and their establishments (subentities, underenheter). An unknown number gives a not_found row, so no input is lost.
• Search. Filter the register by name words, municipality, NACE code, organisation form, bankruptcy, liquidation, VAT registration, employee count and registration date. Up to 500 rows per run.
• Updates. Read the official change feed: new units, changes, deletions and removals. Start from a date, then continue from nextUpdateId of the previous run without gaps or duplicates.

Use it from code

Actor ID: cliqtomedia/norway-brreg-company-register. You need your Apify API token from Apify Console → Settings → API & Integrations.

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN")
run = client.actor("cliqtomedia/norway-brreg-company-register").call(run_input={
    "mode": "lookup",
    "orgNumbers": [
        "974760673",
        "923609016",
        "994667084"
    ]
})
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item)

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/cliqtomedia~norway-brreg-company-register/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"mode": "lookup", "orgNumbers": ["974760673", "923609016", "994667084"]}'

# pip install langchain-apify
# set APIFY_TOKEN in your environment
from langchain_apify import ApifyActorsTool

tool = ApifyActorsTool("cliqtomedia/norway-brreg-company-register")
result = tool.invoke({"run_input": {"mode": "lookup", "orgNumbers": ["974760673", "923609016", "994667084"]}})
print(result)

The cURL call waits for the results, up to 300 seconds. For longer runs, start a run (/runs) and get the results with a webhook or by checking the run. Apify API docs. LlamaIndex, MCP for AI agents and the JavaScript client: AI agents & MCP.
