CVR lookup in Zapier, Make and n8n

If you have a CVR number in a form, a CRM or a spreadsheet, you can fetch company name, address and industry with a single HTTP step in your automation tool. No code and no API key needed.

Zapier: Webhooks by Zapier

  1. Add an action step and choose Webhooks by Zapier → GET.
  2. Type https://apicvr.dk/api/v1/ in the URL field and insert the CVR field from your trigger right after it.
  3. Leave Query String Params and Headers empty.
  4. Test the step. Fields like name, address, city and industrydesc are now available in later steps.

URL:     https://apicvr.dk/api/v1/[CVR field from your trigger]
Query String Params:  (empty)
Headers:              (empty, no API key needed)
Webhooks by Zapier requires a paid Zapier plan.

Make: HTTP → Make a request

Add the HTTP → Make a request module and map the CVR number from the previous module into the URL. Turn on Parse response so Make splits the JSON response into fields you can map onward.

n8n: HTTP Request

In n8n, use the HTTP Request node with an expression in the URL:

URL:             https://apicvr.dk/api/v1/{{ $json.cvr }}

Frequently asked questions

Do I need an API key?

No. Leave headers and authentication empty.

Can I enrich thousands of rows at once?

The API has fair-use rate limits, so run large batches at a steady pace. If you need sustained heavy traffic, email [email protected].

What if the CVR number doesn't exist?

The API responds with HTTP 404. In Zapier and Make you can catch that with a filter or an error handler so the rest of the flow continues.
