Hitta.se Lead Scraper (Beta)

Note: This actor is in beta. Minimum cost is enabled until release. Subscribers will be notified when the price is adjusted. (apify-actor-start: $0.00001 / apify-default-dataset-item: $0.00001 until out of beta)

Overview

This actor scrapes business contact data from Hitta.se, the Swedish business directory. It crawls listing pages, extracts company detail pages, and collects structured contact information. If a company website is found and accessible, it performs a limited, same-domain crawl to gather additional emails and social media links.

Key Features

• Multi-Stage Crawling: Starts from Hitta.se listing URLs, paginates via "Nästa" links, and scrapes individual company detail pages.
• Comprehensive Data Extraction: From detail pages, it extracts:
  • Company name, categories, phone, and address (using Swedish heuristics and structured data).
  • website URL, prioritized from canonical tags, og:url, and JSON-LD, with a fallback to scoring anchor links.
  • Multiple email addresses via strict parsing, mailto: links, UI attributes, and slug-pattern fallbacks.
  • Social media handles (social_facebook, social_instagram, etc.).
• Website Validation: Checks the extracted website URL and assigns a website_details status (ok, 404, unavailable, banned, or n/a). Specific junk domains (e.g., hitta.dixa.help, biluppgifter.se) are banned.
• Enhanced Contact Discovery: If the website status is ok, it performs a configurable, tiny same-domain crawl (up to site_email_max_pages) to find more emails and social links.
• Configurable Limits: Control crawl depth, results cap, and same-domain page limits.

How to Use

Provide one or more Hitta.se listing URLs (e.g., https://www.hitta.se/nacka/företag/2) as a starting point. Configure the crawl depth, timeouts, and result limits as needed. The actor will output a dataset of normalized company records.
