#uk #webscraping #api #python

If you need to pull UK Companies House Bulk data at scale and there's no clean official API, this guide shows how to export it to JSON, CSV or Excel in a couple of minutes — with no scraping code to maintain.

We'll use the UK Companies House Bulk Scraper, a hosted scraper on the Apify platform. You only need a free Apify token — no UK Companies House Bulk login, no proxies, no reverse-engineering.

What data you get

Each run returns structured records with fields like:

companyName
companyNumber
status
category
incorporationDate
address
sicCodes
url
country_of_origin
dissolution_date
accounts
returns
mortgages
previousNames

Results are paginated automatically — you can pull thousands of rows per run and export them as JSON, CSV, Excel, JSONL or XML.
