Infoempresa is a web-first Spanish company directory built for browsers and SEO, not production integration. Teams needing programmatic access to Spanish registry data usually end up scraping the site and fighting anti-bot defences, IP bans, captchas, and layout changes. Prometiam is a REST API over the same official source — BORME (Boletín Oficial del Registro Mercantil) — plus France (BODACC), the United Kingdom (Companies House) and Norway (Brønnøysundregistrene), with daily-fresh data and predictable pricing from €9.99/month.
Prometiam serves structured JSON via a documented REST API with a Bearer token and predictable rate limits, ES + FR + GB + IE + PL + NO coverage live, public pricing (€0 / €9.99 / €29.99 / custom), and a free tier of 1,000 calls per month. It adds sanctions and US export-control screening across six sources (EU, UN, OFAC, UK OFSI, French gels, and the US Consolidated Screening List / BIS Entity List, Denied Persons, ITAR) — over 44,000 active entities — with PEP screening in beta for Spain only (no relatives or close associates) and no adverse-media data. The page also covers real scraping costs, a migration guide mapping scraped URLs to API endpoints, and who should still pick Infoempresa (occasional single lookups).
