I realize this is an absolutely unhinged thing to ask for: Can anyone direct me to a large database of company names with websites (just those two columns), ideally 100K rows or more, that I can access for free? Basically this database if it had another column with the company name: https://github.com/cygenta/top10million (but doesn’t need to be anywhere near 10 million)
A lot of public libraries offer access to ReferenceUSA through your library card. I vaguely remember that queries are pretty customizable on there, and exportable to various formats. Despite the generic name, it’s specifically for businesses. Would that work?
Could take a subset and do ICANN lookups. Not sure about doing that at scale though.
Maybe search for this on kaggle? Or scrape Wikipedia?
Probably don’t need to scrape it. Just query WikiData for it
Thank you for recommending kaggle! I found just what I needed there (actually way more data than I needed!). Here’s what I went with, if it’s useful to anyone else: https://www.kaggle.com/datasets/mfrye0/bigpicture-company-dataset
