This tutorial shows how to scrape Verif company detail pages into CSV with the Verif Scraper for Company Detail CSV Export template for UScraper. You will import the workflow, replace sample URLs, set the export path, and validate the first batch.
Before you start
Prerequisites for a scraper Verif entreprise workflow
You need UScraper installed as a local desktop app, the Verif company detail scraper template, a short list of Verif.com company detail URLs, and a local folder for the CSV export. Start with 3-5 URLs you can inspect manually.
The bundled workflow is a detail-page scraper, not a broad search crawler. It opens the URLs you provide, exports fields the browser can read, and should be used only after reviewing Verif.com rules, source permissions, database rights, privacy obligations, and your intended use.
Technical access is not permission. Keep batches modest, collect only the fields you need, and preserve the source URL so every exported row can be checked later.
Workflow anatomy
Extraire donnees Verif.com into a CSV: how the template works
The exported JSON workflow is the authoritative definition. In plain English, the flow is:
Set Window Size -> Navigate URL list -> Wait for Page Load -> Sleep
-> Wait for body -> Structured Export -> Sleep -> Loop Continue
The Navigate block starts with four sample Verif detail pages. Structured Export writes headers in append mode, and Loop Continue advances the next URL after export.

The export columns are compact enough for first-pass company review, deduplication, and source auditing.

How to scrape Verif company detail URLs to CSV
Import the template
Open Verif Scraper for Company Detail CSV Export, download the JSON workflow, and import it into UScraper.
Replace the sample URLs
In Navigate, replace the four starter Verif URLs with company detail pages from your approved research queue. Keep one full URL per input.
Confirm the wait blocks
Keep page-load wait, the short sleep, and body wait for the first run. Increase timing only after you see slow rendering in the browser.
Set the export path
In Structured Export, confirm the filename, headers, append mode, and your project-specific save folder before running production rows.
Run a small validation batch
Process a few URLs while watching the browser. Stop if the page stays on verification, returns an error, or shows a layout that does not match the expected detail page.
Because file mode is append, reruns add rows to the same CSV. Clear the test file before the real run, or use a dated folder such as verif_exports_2026_06_29.
Validation
Validate the Verif export before enrichment
Open the CSV next to the browser and check the first, middle, and final rows. The goal is not just "the file exists"; it is "each row maps to the right company detail URL."
| Check | What to compare | What to do if it fails |
|---|---|---|
| Source URL | url_entree matches the page you intended to process | Remove redirected, blocked, or malformed URLs from Navigate. |
| Company name | nom matches the page heading or displayed denomination | Inspect the page; update extraction rules only if the page rendered correctly. |
| Status | statut does not contain security-page text | Rerun after manual verification or skip that URL for the batch. |
| Address | adresse keeps line breaks or a readable address block | Normalize after export rather than overfitting selectors too early. |
| Activity and website | activite and site reflect fields visible on the page | Accept blanks when fields are absent; review link filters if valid websites are missed. |
Source choice
Verif.com vs Annuaire des Entreprises and official APIs
Search intent around annuaire entreprise, annuaire SIRET, registre entreprise, and donnees entreprises mixes several sources. Verif.com is commercial; the French Annuaire des Entreprises is an official public service. The API Recherche d'Entreprises fits documented search, while API Entreprise is intended for eligible public administrations and restricted exchange.
Use the Verif detail scraper when the task is specifically to extraire donnees Verif.com from known Verif pages into a reviewable CSV. Use official sources when the requirement is legal identity, government-backed search, bulk Sirene-oriented work, or a compliant API integration.
| Option | Best fit | Trade-off |
|---|---|---|
| UScraper Verif detail template | Known Verif company URLs, local QA, CSV handoff | Requires visible pages and validation against security checks. |
| Official Annuaire / Recherche API | French public legal identity lookup and documented search | Different data model; may not match Verif page presentation. |
| Octoparse or visual scraper | Analysts who want hosted no-code extraction options | Workflow custody, pricing, scheduling, and selector control vary by vendor. |
| Custom script | Engineering teams with monitoring, retries, storage, and tests | Higher setup cost and maintenance. |
FAQ
Verif annuaire scraper FAQ
Public visibility is not permission. Check terms, database rights, robots guidance, privacy rules, anti-abuse systems, and local law. Use approved URLs, keep volume modest, and get legal review before commercial reuse.
