Database of company names + websites? (beehaw.org)

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)

Maybe search for this on kaggle? Or scrape Wikipedia?

Probably don't need to scrape it. Just query WikiData for it

https://wikidata.org

You don’t even need to scrape Wikipedia. Simply download all of Wikipedia text only and you could match on articles. It’s only like 20 GB or even less for certain database dumps.

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
