French Company Search — SIREN/SIRET Lookup from Sirene

Search French companies by name or look them up by SIREN/SIRET in the official Sirene/RNE data: legal form, NAF code, headcount band, head office, VAT number, latest revenue and net income, directors opt-in. No API key. $1 per 1,000 companies.

Search French companies by name, or look them up by SIREN or SIRET, straight from the official Sirene (INSEE) and RNE (INPI) data published by the French government, with no API key and no account. Each company comes back as one clean row: SIREN, dénomination, forme juridique, état administratif, date de création, code NAF, tranche d'effectif, head-office address, numéro de TVA intracommunautaire (computed with the official key formula), and the latest published chiffre d'affaires and résultat net. Directors (dirigeants) are an opt-in.

Use it to verify suppliers and customers (KYB), enrich a CRM or a prospect list with NAF codes, headcount and revenue, check that a company is still active, or turn a list of French company names into SIREN numbers. A pay-per-result alternative to Pappers or Société.com exports for the public fields.

$1 per 1,000 companies. Names with no match get a free status row and are never charged.

En français

Recherche d'entreprises françaises par nom, SIREN ou SIRET, à partir des données officielles Sirene et RNE (API Recherche d'entreprises) : forme juridique, code NAF, effectif, siège, TVA intracommunautaire, chiffre d'affaires et résultat net publiés, dirigeants en option. Sans clé API. 1 $ pour 1 000 entreprises.

Where the data comes from

The government's API Recherche d'entreprises (DINUM), which serves Sirene and RNE data under the Licence Ouverte / Etalab 2.0. Companies that opted out of public dissemination are not returned. The actor sends at most 2.5 requests per second. Not affiliated with INSEE, INPI, DINUM, Pappers or Société.com.

What data does it return?

Every run outputs clean, schema-validated rows like these:

companyId	name	legalForm	activityCode	employees	address.city	vatNumber	financials.year	financials.revenue	financials.netIncome
552032534	DANONE	SA à conseil d’administration	70.10Z	1000-1999	PARIS	FR27552032534	2025	27376000000	2100000000

How much does it cost?

Transparent pay-per-event pricing — you only pay for what you get, and the actor always respects your run budget: set a maximum total charge and it stops cleanly at the cap instead of overrunning.

Event	Price	Charged	Worked example
company-result	$0.001	per company record delivered	1,000 companies = $1.00
apify-actor-start	$0.00005	per run per GB of memory (platform start fee)	One run at 256 MB = $0.00005

Input options

Field	Type	Required	Default	Description
queries	array	no	—	One per line: a company name (e.g. "Danone", "La Poste"), a 9-digit SIREN or a 14-digit SIRET (spaces are ignored). Names return the best match by default; raise "Matches per name" for ambiguous names.
defaultCountry	string	no	"FR"	Always FR on this listing.
maxResultsPerQuery	integer	no	1	Name searches can match several companies: keep the best N (1 = best match only). ID lookups always return one. Each company is one charged row.
includeOfficers	boolean	no	false	Add the directors published in the RNE: name and role only, never birth dates. Off by default: directors are often private individuals, so only turn this on if you have a lawful basis (GDPR) for processing their names.
lookupLei	boolean	no	false	Also look up each company's Legal Entity Identifier in GLEIF by its national ID (free, one extra request per company; GLEIF allows about 60 per minute, so large lists run slower).

Limits & honest notes

• France only: names are searched in the API Recherche d'entreprises, which returns its own relevance ranking. Use a SIREN or SIRET for an exact match, or raise "Matches per name" for ambiguous names.
• Revenue and net income appear only for companies that publish their accounts; the latest published year is returned. Many small companies file confidentially, so these fields are often null.
• Activity descriptions are not always provided by the register; the NAF code is always present.
• At most 2.5 requests per second (the API allows 7 per second per IP), so 1,000 companies take several minutes.
• Directors: off by default. With includeOfficers you get name and role only; birth dates are never output. Company e-mail addresses and phone numbers are never output.
• Need other countries? Company Registry Lookup covers Brazil, Norway, Finland, Czechia, Poland and any LEI worldwide with the same row format.
• Respects your run budget: set a maximum total charge and the run stops cleanly at the cap. Names with no match each get a free status row and never fail the run.
