## 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`).

# README

## France Company Search: SIREN, NAF & Revenue (No API Key)

Search the **official French company register** (Sirene / RNE, as published by the French government's
Annuaire des Entreprises) and get the results as a clean table you can download as Excel, CSV or JSON or send to your
own tools.

- 🔑 **No API key, no account:** reads the official public API of the French government directly.
- 🎯 **Lead filters that matter:** activity code (NAF / APE), department, region, postal code, company size,
  number of employees, legal form, and **revenue and net income ranges**.
- 🏅 **Certified companies:** filter by labels such as **RGE** (energy-efficiency contractors), **Qualiopi** (training
  providers), organic, ESS, société à mission.
- 💶 **Financials included:** latest revenue (chiffre d'affaires) and net income, plus the yearly history when
  published.
- 🧾 **Ready to use:** VAT number, head office address with GPS coordinates, and human-readable labels for every code.
- 📋 **Bulk lookup:** paste up to 5,000 SIREN or SIRET numbers.
- 🔒 **No personal data:** company officers (dirigeants) and sole proprietors are never returned.
- 💸 **Pay only for results:** you pay per company saved, and you can cap the cost of every run.

### How it works

1. Pick **filters**: NAF codes, departments, size, revenue, labels... Or switch to **Lookup** and paste SIREN / SIRET
   numbers.
2. Click **Start**. Companies appear in the **Output** tab as a table, ready to export or to send to Google Sheets,
   Make, Zapier, n8n or your own API.

Location filters (department, region, postal code) match **any establishment** of the company, as in the official
register. The `matched...` fields show the establishment that matched, and the `address` fields show the head office.

### What data you get

One row per company:

| `isRge`, `isQualiopi`, `isBio`, `isEss`, `isMissionCompany`, `isTrainingOrganisation`, `isAssociation`, `isSiae`, `isLivingHeritage` | Labels and certifications |

(Some fields are left out above for brevity; every row has all the fields listed in "What data you get".)

### Pricing and cost

Pay per event, you only pay for what you get:

| Event | Price |
|---|---|
| Company saved to the dataset | **$0.002** per company ($2.00 per 1,000 companies) |
| Run start | $0.00005 per run |

Examples: **100 companies ≈ $0.20**, **1,000 companies ≈ $2.00**. Numbers that are not found are **not charged**.
Set **Maximum cost per run** in the run options to cap your spending; the Actor stops when the cap is reached and keeps
the companies already saved.

### Schedule it and connect it

- **Regular lists:** save your filters as a task and add a **Schedule** in Apify Console. Remove duplicates between
  runs with the `siren` field.
- **Integrations:** send results automatically to Google Sheets, Slack, Make, Zapier, n8n or any webhook using Apify
  integrations.
- **API:** run the Actor and download results from your own code with the Apify API or the Python / JavaScript clients.

### Limits

- The register returns at most **10,000 companies per search**. For more, split by department, NAF code or size.
- The public API allows a few requests per second; the Actor stays below it and waits when asked. About 1,500
  companies per minute.
- Revenue and net income exist only for companies that publish their accounts.
- There is no filter by creation date in the official API; the `creationDate` field is in every row, so you can sort
  or filter the results.
- Companies whose data INSEE does not publish ("non-diffusible") are not available in the public API.

### FAQ

**Where does the data come from?**
From the API Recherche d'entreprises of the French government (DINUM, data.gouv.fr), which publishes Sirene (INSEE),
the national business register (RNE, INPI) and other public datasets under the Licence Ouverte / Etalab 2.0. Code
labels come from the same official project (MIT licence). This Actor is an independent tool and is **not affiliated
with, endorsed or provided by the French government**.

**Does it collect personal data?**
No. Company officers (dirigeants) are never returned, and sole proprietors (entrepreneurs individuels), whose company
name is a person's name, are excluded on purpose. The output is a fixed list of company fields.

**Do I need an API key?**
No. The API is public and free.

**Why did I get fewer companies than `maxItems`?**
Your search has fewer results than that. Try fewer filters, more NAF codes or a larger area.

**Why is the head office in another department?**
Location filters match any establishment of the company. Use the `matchedCity` and `matchedPostalCode` fields for the
local establishment.
