## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

## France Company Search (SIRENE) Scraper for French Business Data

Search French companies directly from the public SIRENE registry. This scraper helps you gather detailed corporate information, run location-based searches, and export company records cleanly to JSON, CSV, or Excel formats.

### What You Can Do

- **Lead Generation**: Find bakeries, retail shops, tech firms, or any business keyword and download structured lists for your CRM.
- **Territory Research**: Run radius searches around specific geographic coordinates to uncover local businesses.
- **Filter by Activity or Region**: Focus your searches on specific departments, postal codes, or NAF industry codes.
- **Track Company Status**: Search active operating businesses or include closed companies for historical analysis.
- **Ongoing Monitoring**: Re-run queries periodically to spot new registrations or changes over time.

### Data Collected

Each company profile returned by the scraper includes:

- SIREN and SIRET numbers
- Full official company name
- NAF / APE activity code
- Company size category and employee count band
- Creation date and legal structure code
- Registered headquarters address and geographic coordinates
- Listed company directors and management
- Count of active open establishments

### Practical Tips

- **Exporting Data**: You can easily export gathered datasets directly into JSON, CSV, or Excel formats for quick analysis.
- **Empty Results**: If a search query yields no matches, the run completes cleanly and outputs an empty dataset without crashing.
- **Pacing**: The tool pauses between requests to ensure smooth and stable data collection throughout longer queries.

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
