France Company Lookup by Name or SIREN (SIRENE Registry)

Look up French companies by name, SIREN, SIRET or VAT number against the official SIRENE registry in real time. Sales intelligence teams, B2B outbound workflows, procurement specialists, compliance officers, and analysts verifying French companies and establishments against official French state registry data. Returns legal entity name, SIREN, SIRET, active status, NAF economic activity, legal form, address, coordinates, and EU VAT number.

How to use

1. In the Apify Console. Open the actor page and click Start — the queries field is already pre-filled with a working example. Results land in the run's dataset as soon as each item is found.
2. Via the API. Call it directly with a POST request — no Console needed once you have an API token:

   curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/accountable_eel~france-company-lookup/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=<YOUR_TOKEN>" \
     -X POST \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     -d '{"queries":["danone","552032534"]}'
   

3. On a schedule. Save this actor as an Apify Task with the input you want, then add a Schedule (hourly, daily, weekly) so it runs on its own — no server of your own required.

Input

{
  "queries": [
    "danone",
    "552032534"
  ]
}

One per line: a company name (e.g. "danone"), a 9-digit SIREN ("552032534"), a 14-digit SIRET, or a French VAT number ("FR27552032534"). Accepted formats: danone, 552032534, 552 032 534, 55203253400703, FR27552032534.

Supply company names, 9-digit SIREN numbers, 14-digit SIRET establishment numbers, or French VAT numbers. Spaced or dotted numbers are automatically cleaned.

A miss comes back as a row with "found": false and is never charged. Missing fields are null — never 0 or empty strings.

Pricing

Plus a $0.002 start fee per run. Each event above is billed independently, only when it actually returns data — misses (found:false) are never charged.
