Does ONRC provide a free API?

ONRC provides the RECOM service for company data verification. Some data is available via the official portal and some via a paid API. We help navigate the access terms.

How should Romanian diacritics in data be handled correctly?

The main pitfall is two different Unicode characters for the "s with a tail": ș (U+0219, modern standard) and ş (U+015F, legacy). They look identical but are different. We normalise all data to Unicode NFC form.

Does scraping OLX Romania violate Terms of Service?

We only collect publicly available data, respect rate limits and robots.txt, and do not bypass authentication. For systematic access, we recommend using official APIs where they are available.

Data Parsing in Romania

We collect and analyse data from Romanian sources. Storia.ro, Imobiliare.ro, OLX Romania, ONRC (Registrul Comerțului), Heureka.ro — parsing with correct Romanian diacritic handling.

Romanian web sources contain valuable data for business analytics and automation: Storia.ro and Imobiliare.ro are the largest property aggregators, OLX Romania is the leading classifieds board, and ONRC (Oficiul Național al Registrului Comerțului) is Romania's official company register. Working with Romanian data requires correct diacritic handling.

We collect and structure data from Romanian platforms with a deep understanding of local specifics: correct UTF-8 processing of ă, â, î, ș, ț in data, use of the official ONRC API for company data, and correct decoding of Romanian addresses and postal codes. Parsing in compliance with platform terms of use and ANSPDCP requirements.
