French Company Scraper

Extract company data from France's official SIRENE registry and BODACC legal announcements. SIREN, SIRET, dirigeants, finances, insolvency notices, M&A. No API key, no login, no proxy.

What does French Company Scraper do?

Scrape France's two official company registries through their public government APIs:

• SIRENE (recherche-entreprises.api.gouv.fr) — search by company name, activity, NAF code, or department. Returns SIREN, SIRET, legal name, address, NAF code, employee range, dirigeants (company officers), finances (turnover, net income), and status.
• BODACC (bodacc-datadila.opendatasoft.com) — France's official civil and commercial announcements bulletin. Search by text, filter by type (insolvency, M&A, commercial modifications, company creations), or filter by date range.

Both APIs are free, public, and require no registration. They aggregate official data published by INSEE, INPI, DGFiP, and DILA.

Technical details

• SIRENE via recherche-entreprises.api.gouv.fr — France's official meta-API, aggregating INSEE Sirene + INPI dirigeants + DGFiP finances + RGE labels + association registry. Free, no auth, no rate limit.
• BODACC via bodacc-datadila.opendatasoft.com — OpenDataSoft Explore v2.1 API, ~50M+ rows, free, no key.
• No browser, no proxy — pure REST JSON.
• Pagination — SIRENE uses page + per_page (max 25). BODACC uses limit + offset with where clauses.
• Full-text search on BODACC via search() function in where clause.

Known limits

• SIRENE per_page caps at 25. For large runs, paginate via page.
• BODACC covers legal announcements, not general company data. Use SIRENE for company identity, BODACC for insolvency, M&A, and modifications.
• Finances are only available when filed. Small companies and recent registrations may have finances: null.
• Dirigeants are shown when publicly available. Some entities have no declared officers in the open data.
• The BODACC search function matches exact terms — use quotes and Boolean operators for complex queries.
