France Company KYC — SIREN, Officers & Financials | $4/1K

French Company Registry Scraper

For KYC teams, B2B sales reps, and M&A analysts, this Actor searches French companies and extracts SIREN/SIRET identity, status, officers, financials, addresses, and NAF data.

• Verify French counterparties with SIREN/SIRET, legal status, registered address, and officer data.
• Enrich B2B prospect lists with company names, NAF activity, locations, size, and employee bands.
• Map M&A sector exposure using NAF codes, company categories, and establishment counts.
• Extract latest revenue, net income, and finance year when published accounts are available.
• Search company names, cities, activities, or free text across one or more queries.

Pricing

The current billing model is Pay Per Event. Prices below are per event:

• company-record: one event for each scraped company result, including all fields.
• apify-actor-start: charged when the Actor starts running.
• The financials-record event has no price, and the officers-fetch event has no price in the published pricing information.

Event	Free plan	Bronze plan	Silver plan
company-record	$0.004 per event	$0.00396 per event	$0.00392 per event
apify-actor-start	$0.00005 per event	$0.0000495 per event	$0.000049 per event
financials-record	No price	No price	No price
officers-fetch	No price	No price	No price

Event	Gold plan	Platinum plan	Diamond plan
company-record	$0.00388 per event	$0.00384 per event	$0.0038 per event
apify-actor-start	$0.0000485 per event	$0.000048 per event	$0.0000475 per event
financials-record	No price	No price	No price
officers-fetch	No price	No price	No price

Worked example: 1,000 company records = $4.00 on the Free plan for company-record events; 10,000 company records = $40.00 on the Free plan for company-record events, plus the applicable apify-actor-start charge of $0.00005 per event on the Free plan.

The Apify Free plan includes $5 of monthly platform usage credit. The supplied Free-plan calculation gives 1,249 company-record events after one $0.00005 Free-plan Actor Start event, before any events without a current price. The Free plan limits output to 25 results per run; paid Apify plans remove the per-run cap.

For this Actor, compute, Apify Proxy traffic including residential traffic, and storage are included in event prices and paid by the Actor developer.

How to use

1. Enter one or more strings in queries, such as a company name, city, activity, or free-text search. Each query is searched separately and matching results are merged.
2. Set maxResultsPerQuery to an integer limit. Use 0 for no requested limit, subject to the source API maximum of approximately 10,000 results.
3. Choose filters: keep activeOnly enabled for active entities, set categorieEntreprise to GE, ETI, PME, or TPE, and enable requireFinancials when you need companies with published accounts.
4. Keep includeOfficers enabled for officer lists; set it to false when firmographic fields are sufficient.
5. Run the Actor, inspect parse_confidence and warnings, and repeat the run through Apify Schedules; a monthly schedule is a suitable starting point for this registry job.

{
  "queries": ["LVMH"],
  "maxResultsPerQuery": 5,
  "includeOfficers": false,
  "activeOnly": true,
  "requireFinancials": false,
  "categorieEntreprise": "",
  "disableUsageStats": false
}

Export the dataset as JSON or CSV, or read it through the Apify dataset API.

Input parameters

Parameter	What it does	Default
queries	Required array of search strings. Empty strings are removed; each remaining query is searched separately.	Required
maxResultsPerQuery	Maximum records per query. 0 means no requested limit, up to the API maximum of approximately 10,000.	25 in the input schema; code fallback is 100 when omitted
includeOfficers	Includes the normalized dirigeants list when true; sets officers to null when false.	true
activeOnly	When true, keeps active administrative status; when false, also permits closed or dissolved entities.	true
requireFinancials	Sends the financial-data filter and returns companies with filed published accounts.	false
categorieEntreprise	Filters by GE, ETI, PME, or TPE; an empty string applies no size filter. TPE maps to employee bands below 10 employees.	""

Limits and edge cases

Condition	What you see	What to do
The run uses the Apify Free plan	The Actor stops after 25 output records per run.	Use a paid Apify plan to go beyond 25 output records per run, or run a smaller preview.
maxResultsPerQuery is 0	The Actor paginates without a requested per-query limit, but the source API has a maximum of approximately 10,000 results.	Use a specific limit or split broad searches.
No query remains after empty values are removed	The run records no_queries in OUTPUT and returns without company records.	Provide at least one non-empty queries value.
A search has no matches	The dataset is empty for that search and no company-record event is charged.	Broaden the company, city, activity, or free-text query.
A query receives an API error or remains rate limited after retries	The query is recorded as failed and later queries continue; earlier pushed records remain available.	Retry the run or use narrower queries.
A matching company has no published financial data	revenue, net_income, and finance_year can be null.	Set requireFinancials to true when financial data is essential.
parse_confidence is below 0.7	The record may be incomplete, with details in warnings when available.	Review the affected fields and warnings.
The same SIREN appears through multiple queries	Duplicate records are skipped.	Use query to see which query produced each retained record.

FAQ

How much does it cost to scrape French companies?

On the Free plan, company-record costs $0.004 per result and apify-actor-start costs $0.00005 per event. 1,000 company records = $4.00 on the Free plan, plus the applicable Actor Start event.

Do I need an API key or login?

No API key or source login is required. The Actor calls the official open Recherche-Entreprises API; you supply your Apify account.

Why use this instead of the official Recherche-Entreprises API?

The Actor returns flat normalized records, accepts multiple queries, applies the documented filters, paginates source results, and removes duplicate SIRENs across the run.

What if my search is empty or a query is not working?

For no matches, broaden the search string. For an API error or rate limit, the affected query is recorded as failed while later queries continue; retry with a narrower query.

Is it legal to use this public company data?

The Actor accesses public data from the official Recherche-Entreprises API, sourced from INSEE SIRENE and RNE. Source terms and applicable law depend on your use case; this README does not provide a legal guarantee.

Usage statistics

This Actor creates a small, content-free summary at the end of each run, used only to monitor reliability and improve this Actor. No input values, credentials or scraped data are sent.

A copy of the exact record for your run is saved as USAGE_STATS in your own Apify key-value store.

To opt out, set disableUsageStats to true in the input. Nothing is sent then.
