France SIRENE Company Registry Scraper

Extract French company and establishment records from the official SIRENE / Recherche Entreprises API.

How much does it cost to scrape France SIRENE company records?

The actor uses pay-per-event pricing.

• A small one-time start event is charged when the run starts.
• A record-pack event is charged once for each started pack of 4 companies or establishments saved.
• The BRONZE reference price is $0.0001 per 4-record pack, which is about $0.000025 per record (about $0.025 per 1,000 records) when records are returned in full packs, with tier discounts on larger Apify plans.
• The final price is visible before you run the actor on Apify.

Because the scraper uses an official JSON API and no browser, it is designed to stay inexpensive for lead-generation and enrichment workloads.

Data quality notes

The actor returns fields published by the public registry API.

Some companies may not publish every optional field. For example, geolocation, employee range, or trade name may be missing for some records.

Use siren for company-level deduplication and siret for establishment-level deduplication.

Legality

This actor uses public French government registry data. You are responsible for using exported data lawfully, including respecting GDPR, ePrivacy, anti-spam rules, and contractual obligations that apply to your use case.

Do not use the data for unlawful profiling, harassment, or unsolicited communications that violate applicable law.

FAQ

Is this an official French government actor?

No. The actor is built by Automation Lab and uses the public official Recherche Entreprises / SIRENE API as its data source.

Can I search only active companies?

Yes. Set activeStatus to active to request active registry records.

Can I deduplicate results?

Yes. Use siret for establishment-level deduplication or siren for company-level deduplication.

Troubleshooting

Why did I get fewer records than requested?

The source may have fewer matching records for your query and filters, or duplicates may be removed by SIRET.

Why are some fields empty?

The public API does not publish every optional attribute for every company or establishment.

Why did a SIREN lookup return one company but no branch rows?

Use establishmentMode: matchingEstablishments to return matching establishment rows when the API exposes them.
