This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## 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 New Companies Scraper — Daily BODACC Registrations & SIRENE B2B Leads

**Every new French company, the week it is registered: name, SIREN, legal form, share capital, declared activity, head office address and registration date — from the official BODACC open data, enriched with the NAF code, headcount range and GPS location from the French government company API. Legal entities only (SAS, SASU, SARL, EURL, SA…): no individuals, no directors' names, no personal contact data.**

Built for **B2B prospecting** (accountants, banks, insurers, web agencies, SaaS, payroll, office suppliers, coworking, telecoms), **market monitoring** and **AI agents** via the Apify MCP server.

🇫🇷 *Créations d'entreprises du BODACC (personnes morales uniquement), enrichies avec l'API Recherche d'entreprises. Version française plus bas.*

### Why this Actor

- **Fresh**: BODACC publishes creation notices every working day; a new company typically appears 3–10 days after registration with the commercial court registry (RCS).
- **Filter like a sales team**: by département, activity keywords (`restaurant`, `logiciel`, `transport`…), NAF code prefix (`56`, `62`, `43`…), legal form, minimum share capital.
- **Schedule-friendly**: `onlyNewSinceLastRun` remembers what was already delivered, so a daily schedule only returns new companies — pipe them to Google Sheets, HubSpot, Pipedrive, Slack, Make or Zapier.
- **Clean legal footing**: official open data under Licence Ouverte v2.0, no scraping, no personal data (see below).
- **Fast and cheap**: plain HTTP API, no browser, no proxy. 100 enriched companies in ~30 seconds.

### Output fields

| Group | Fields |
|---|---|
| Company | `siren`, `companyName`, `tradeName`, `acronym`, `legalForm`, `shareCapital`, `shareCapitalCurrency` |
| Registration | `registrationDate`, `activityStartDate`, `creationCategory`, `registryCourt`, `registry` |
| Activity & location | `activity` (declared corporate purpose), `headOfficeAddress`, `headOfficePostcode`, `headOfficeCity`, `departmentCode`, `department`, `regionCode`, `region` |
| BODACC notice | `bodaccPublicationDate`, `bodaccNoticeId`, `bodaccNoticeType`, `bodaccUrl` |
| Enrichment (`company`) | `nafCode`, `sectionNaf`, `headcountRange`, `isEmployer`, `companyCategory`, `creationDate`, `status`, `headOfficeSiret`, `headOfficeCommuneCode`, `headOfficeLatitude`, `headOfficeLongitude`, labels (RGE, Qualiopi, ESS, bio, société à mission), `annuaireUrl` |
| Provenance | `source`, `sourceDataset`, `sourceApiUrl`, `sourceLicense`, `attribution`, `scrapedAt` |

### Input example

```json
{
  "publishedWithinDays": 7,
  "departments": ["75", "92"],
  "activityKeywords": ["logiciel", "informatique", "conseil"],
  "excludeLegalForms": ["Société civile"],
  "minShareCapital": 1000,
  "enrichCompanies": true,
  "onlyNewSinceLastRun": true,
  "stateKey": "paris-tech",
  "maxResults": 500
}
```

By default, `excludeLegalForms` removes *sociétés civiles* (SCI and other holding vehicles), which are rarely good prospects. Clear it to include them (e.g. for real-estate or banking use cases).

{
  "siren": "131730525",
  "companyName": "AVELYON",
  "legalForm": "Société à Responsabilité Limitée",

### Legal: source, licence, personal data

- **BODACC** (Bulletin officiel des annonces civiles et commerciales), published by the **DILA** (Direction de l'information légale et administrative, Premier ministre) through its official open data API. Licence: **Licence Ouverte / Open Licence v2.0** — free commercial reuse; DILA asks reusers to credit **bodacc.fr / DILA**, the access URL and the file/notice date. Each record carries `source`, `sourceApiUrl`, `bodaccPublicationDate` and `attribution` for that purpose. Data is queried live, so DILA corrections are picked up automatically.
- **API Recherche d'entreprises** (DINUM, annuaire-entreprises.data.gouv.fr), based on SIRENE (INSEE) and RNE (INPI) open data, Licence Ouverte v2.0.
- **Personal data**: BODACC also lists sole traders (natural persons) and the names of company directors. This Actor **drops every notice about a natural person** and **never outputs directors, managers or shareholders**. Head office addresses of legal entities are public registry information; when SIRENE marks an establishment as non-diffusible, the enriched address and GPS are removed. You remain responsible for GDPR/ePrivacy rules when you prospect companies (B2B legitimate interest, opt-out).
- Not affiliated with or endorsed by DILA, INSEE or the French administration.

### Integrations and API

- **API**: run the Actor and read results over HTTP or with the Apify Python and JavaScript clients (see the **API** tab for ready-made code).
- **Schedules**: run it daily or weekly from Apify schedules.
- **Integrations**: send results to Google Sheets, Slack, e-mail, Airtable or a webhook, or connect it to Make, Zapier or n8n.
- **AI agents**: available as a tool through the Apify MCP server.

### FAQ

**Is this a BODACC API / SIRENE API alternative?** It combines both: new-company notices from the official BODACC open data, enriched with SIRENE-based data (NAF code, headcount range, location) from the government API Recherche d'entreprises. Call it through the Apify API and get JSON, CSV or Excel.

**How do I get a daily list of new French companies?** Schedule the Actor daily with `publishedWithinDays: 2` and `onlyNewSinceLastRun: true`, then connect Google Sheets, a CRM, Slack or a webhook.

**Do you provide e-mails or phone numbers?** No. They are not in the open data and this Actor does not collect personal contact data.

**Why is `company` sometimes null?** SIRENE/RNE indexing can lag by a few days for brand-new companies; rerun later or use the `bodaccUrl`.

**Can I go back in time?** Yes: set `publishedFrom`/`publishedTo` (BODACC open data goes back to 2008). Large ranges are split automatically.
