The CNPJ query answers one number at a time, so a project starts from a list: your customers or suppliers, a portfolio to watch, or CNPJs gathered from other sources you name. We run each number through the comprovante page and the QSA and permit-exemption pages linked from it, parse the result into fixed columns, and repair the extraction whenever the page changes.
Runs are one-off, for a single check of a supplier base, or scheduled daily, weekly or monthly for a portfolio you keep watching. Each row keeps the CNPJ as text and the Brasília date and time the record was issued, and every file ships with a description of its fields. Assessing your list is free and comes before the first run.
The record a Receita Federal scraper reads is the Comprovante de Inscrição e de Situação Cadastral, the proof of registration and registration status. Its labels are Portuguese; we deliver English column names and keep the original label for each in the field documentation.
Every row also carries the issue date and time the comprovante prints, so you know exactly when each status was true. Records whose registered name is a private person's own name, as with sole traders, are left out by default.
A CNPJ record changes quietly. A supplier moves from ATIVA to INAPTA, a branch closes and turns BAIXADA, a company adds a secondary CNAE code or moves address, and nothing announces it. Scheduled runs over your list compare each record with the previous one and deliver the changed fields with the date we saw the change, beside the date Receita Federal itself records for the situação cadastral.
Branches are records of their own. A CNPJ opens with a root that the head office and all its branches share, and each branch has its own address, status and activity codes, so a company-level view is built by grouping on the root. The QSA is linked only from a head-office record that is not BAIXADA, so partner data is collected once per company and joined to its branches on the same root.
Identifiers need care too. A CNPJ has 14 characters, and the query field now takes letters as well as digits for the new alphanumeric CNPJ. We store every CNPJ as text, formatted and bare, so the alphanumeric CNPJ joins your systems as cleanly as the old numeric one, and a number the register does not know comes back marked CNPJ inexistente instead of vanishing from the file.
Receita Federal do Brasil is the federal revenue service under the Ministério da Fazenda, and it keeps the Cadastro Nacional da Pessoa Jurídica, the CNPJ register in which companies, their branches, associations and public bodies in Brazil are enrolled. Its public window on that register is the query at solucoes.receita.fazenda.gov.br: type a CNPJ and the page issues the comprovante for that one establishment, stamped with the date and time in Brasília and carrying a QR code and a barcode.
From the comprovante, buttons lead to the Consulta Quadro de Sócios e Administradores, to the Condições de Dispensa de Licenciamento page that lists, for each exempt activity, the state or municipality, the issuing body, the scope and the conditions, and, for a closed registration, to the certidão de baixa. The page sits inside the Redesim portal for business registration.
Two traits set this register apart for a data buyer. It records establishments, not only companies, so one business can hold many records. And it is a tax registration rather than a corporate filing: no accounts and no shareholding percentages, but the registration status that banks, buyers and procurement teams look up before they deal with a Brazilian business, with a porte the company declares and CNAE codes for what it is registered to do.
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 builds and operates data extraction for its clients: we write the crawlers, run them on your schedule and fix them when sources change, and you get files rather than software. Registers like the CNPJ query reward that care - one record per number, labels in Portuguese, identifiers that must stay text. We deliver CNPJ records as CSV, Excel or JSONLines, to SFTP, Google Drive or Google Cloud Storage, or through our API. Partners who are private individuals are left out by default, and we treat personal data under GDPR.

Yes. The ScrapeIt Receita Federal API returns the CNPJ, nome empresarial, situação cadastral with its date, main and secondary CNAE codes and the address as JSON, served from our own endpoint on the refresh cycle you choose. You can also take the records as Excel or CSV files, as a JSON feed or as a direct load into your database.
Yes. The comprovante, the QSA page and the permit-exemption page open to any visitor who enters a CNPJ, with no account. We collect only publicly available data - everything a visitor can see on Receita Federal - and we collect it legally. Partners who are private individuals are not part of the standard delivery.
You send the list as a file - formatted or bare, old numeric or new alphanumeric CNPJs - and we run every number and return situação cadastral with its date and reason. Numbers the register does not know are marked CNPJ inexistente. On scheduled runs we can add a change report listing the records whose status moved since the previous pass.
Yes, starting from CNPJs. The query works one number at a time, so a sector or state dataset begins with the CNPJs you hold or collect from sources you name; we then fill in every record and filter on CNAE code, UF and município, keeping head offices and branches apart.
Yes, for head-office records that are not BAIXADA. The Quadro de Sócios e Administradores gives capital social and each member's qualificação and país de origem, plus the legal representative's role where one is listed; we name members that are companies and leave individuals out by default.
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.
