CORDIS is the European Commission's record of projects funded by EU research programmes, from FP1 to Horizon Europe. Our CORDIS scraper turns each fact sheet into rows.

You give us the scope - programmes, topics, calls, fields of science, countries, organisation types or a list of grant agreement IDs - and we build the CORDIS crawler, run it and keep it working when the fact sheet layout changes. A CORDIS project spreads over a fact sheet, a Reporting tab and a Results tab, and every participant sits in its own collapsible block, so we read all three and stitch them into one record per project. Pacing, retries and proxy rotation are part of the job, not something you set up.
Runs are one-off, for a funding landscape study, or recurring - weekly or monthly - to pick up new grants and new reports. Field documentation comes with the first file, and a free project assessment confirms the coverage before you order.
A CORDIS fact sheet is built around the grant agreement ID - the number in the page address and the key every other field hangs on. We keep the labels CORDIS uses as column names.
One project becomes a project row plus one row per organisation, joined on the grant agreement ID, so funding can be summed by country, region or institution without reshaping anything.
Two more tabs record what a project produced.
Coverage starts from the CORDIS search, which filters by programme, field of science, start and end date, total cost, EU contribution, call ID and topic ID, and by organisation name, country and region. A Horizon Europe extract is cut by topic or call, an H2020 or FP7 one by programme code; projects of programmes closed for more than ten years move to the CORDIS archive and are included when you ask. Repeated runs keyed on the grant agreement ID show what arrived since the last pass: a new reporting period, new deliverables, new publications.
Publication authors and researchers named in results are persons, so they are left out by default; organisations come as CORDIS writes them.
CORDIS, the Community Research and Development Information Service, is the European Commission's primary source for the results of projects funded by the EU framework programmes for research and innovation. The Publications Office of the European Union manages it on behalf of the Commission's research and innovation Directorates-General, executive agencies and joint undertakings. It complements the Funding and tender opportunities website: applications and partner searches happen there, while CORDIS records the funded projects and what they produced.
For anyone who needs its data, CORDIS is organised around the project: a fact sheet, a Reporting tab and a Results tab, plus News and Multimedia where CORDIS has covered the work. Around the projects sit editorial layers - Results in Brief, news, Results Packs and other Thematic Packs, videos and podcasts - grouped by domain of application such as Health, Energy, Space or Transport and Mobility.
The interface runs in English, French, German, Italian, Spanish and Polish, with machine translation for other languages, and a fact sheet can switch its project description between those six. Organisation names are written in capitals and usually in the organisation's own language - JYVASKYLAN YLIOPISTO, not University of Jyvaskyla - which matters when you match participants to your own records.
Delivery: CSV, JSON or XLSX files, our API or a JSON feed. MCP server on request.

Learn how to use web scraping to solve data problems for your organization
Data scraping is the wide term that includes documents, scans and old screens; web scraping is the part that works on websites. We compare sources, daily work, output and cost drivers, give a briefing checklist and walk through two of our projects.
Leveraging advances in technology, the AI-powered web scraper has skyrocketed in demand and is helping to expand capabilities by automating tedious daily tasks and speeding up data collection from thousands of websites several times over.
Web scraping is a method of obtaining web data by extracting it from pages of web resources with the help of a program, that is, in automatic mode. It is used to syntactically convert web pages into more usable forms.
ScrapeIt collects data from websites as a managed service: we build the crawlers, run them on your schedule and fix them when a source changes. Research and funding sources such as CORDIS need more than a page copy - a project has to be joined to its participants, reports and results before anyone can count with it. We hand that over as CSV, Excel, JSON or JSONLines, through our API, or into Google Cloud Storage or your database.

Yes. The ScrapeIt CORDIS API serves grant agreement ID, acronym, programme and topic, start and end dates, EU contribution and the participant list with net contributions in JSON from a ScrapeIt-hosted endpoint, refreshed as often as you choose. You can take the same data as CSV, JSONLines or XLSX files instead, or have it loaded into your database.
Yes. Fact sheets, participant lists, reporting summaries and results are published on CORDIS for every visitor; signing in only adds features such as suggesting a field of science. We collect only publicly available data - everything a visitor can see on CORDIS - and we collect it legally. Researchers named in results are left out by default.
Yes. Every participant block carries a country and most carry a NUTS region, so the filter works at organisation level: all projects with a Polish participant, or every Horizon Europe grant coordinated from Finland. The result has one row per organisation per project, with its role, net EU contribution and activity type.
Each fact sheet shows its own Last update date, and a record keeps growing after the grant is signed as reporting periods, deliverables and publications are added. A weekly run is usually enough to catch new grants and new results; a one-time programme study works as a single extract with a refresh before you publish.
Yes. CORDIS holds projects from FP1 to Horizon Europe. H2020 and Horizon Europe fact sheets share one layout and differ in their programme codes, while FP7 fact sheets are leaner, with no DOI or EC signature date. The EU policy priority trackers appear on Horizon Europe projects only, so we leave those columns empty for earlier programmes rather than guess.
You share your needs, expectations, and desired timeframe. We'll suggest the best solution based on your request and budget.
Our specialists configure the crawlers and extract a sample dataset for your review before proceeding with the full-scale extraction.
Once you approve the sample, we launch the project and start full data collection. We gather, filter, and structure the data for easy use, delivering it on time in your preferred format.
Our team manages ongoing processes, monitors website changes, and supports all data extraction cycles. We can also help integrate data into your systems or create dashboards to simplify analysis.
