How much does it cost to scrape CGP France data?

The cost of scraping CGP France depends on the number of cities you process and the amount of data extracted. The Actor uses Apify's consumption-based pricing model, where you only pay for the Compute Units (CUs) consumed during execution.

Cost factors:

• Number of cities processed (all cities vs. single city)
• Search radius selected (larger radius = more offices found)
• Manager details scraping (enabled by default, can be disabled to reduce costs)
• Number of offices found per city

Typical usage:

• Processing a single city with manager details: ~0.1-0.5 CUs
• Processing all cities (default: ~1324 cities with pop >= 5000): ~50-150 CUs depending on results

The Actor is optimized for efficiency with parallel processing, smart caching, and automatic error handling to minimize costs while maximizing data extraction.

Performance and optimization

The Actor is optimized for speed and efficiency:

• ⚡ Parallel processing: Processes cities in batches of 150 (on Apify) or 50 (local) to maximize speed
• 🔄 Smart caching: Avoids duplicate manager profile scraping
• 🛡️ Error handling: Automatic retry with exponential backoff, validation of coordinates before requests
• 📊 Batch optimization: Scrapes office details in batches of 400 and manager details in batches of 500
• 🚀 Fast execution: Processes all cities efficiently with optimized batch sizes and minimal delays

Tips for optimal performance:

• Use Apify Proxy for better reliability and speed (automatically enabled when configured)
• Disable scrapeManagerDetails if you don't need manager information to speed up execution
• Adjust minPopulation parameter to control the number of cities processed (higher = fewer cities = faster)

Use cases

• Market research: Analyze the CGP France network distribution across France
• Lead generation: Build a comprehensive database of qualified financial advisors
• Competitive analysis: Understand market distribution and office characteristics
• Business intelligence: Track office locations, specialties, and business metrics over time
• CRM integration: Import structured data directly into your CRM or business systems
• Territory mapping: Visualize office locations using GPS coordinates for geographic analysis

Is it legal to scrape CGP France?

Our scrapers are ethical and do not extract any private user data, such as email addresses, gender, or location. They only extract what the office has chosen to share publicly on the CGP France website. We therefore believe that our scrapers, when used for ethical purposes by Apify users, are safe.

However, you should be aware that your results could contain personal data. Personal data is protected by the GDPR in the European Union and by other regulations around the world. You should not scrape personal data unless you have a legitimate reason to do so. If you're unsure whether your reason is legitimate, consult your lawyers.

Troubleshooting

HTTP 403 Forbidden Errors on Apify

If you encounter HTTP 403 errors when running on Apify (but not locally), this is likely due to IP blocking by the CGP France API. The scraper includes automatic proxy support via Apify Proxy.

To resolve 403 errors:

1. Enable Apify Proxy in your Actor settings:

   • Go to your Actor settings on Apify
   • Enable "Use Apify Proxy"
   • Select "Datacenter" proxy type (recommended for speed)
   • The scraper will automatically use the configured proxies

2. The scraper will continue even if some cities fail due to 403 errors, so you'll still get data from cities that work.

3. Local execution works without proxies because your local IP is not blocked.

HTTP 500 Errors

The Actor automatically handles HTTP 500 errors (server errors, invalid coordinates, cities not found) by skipping problematic cities and continuing with the rest. These errors are logged silently to avoid cluttering the output.

Invalid Coordinates

The Actor validates all coordinates before making requests. Cities with invalid coordinates are automatically skipped.

Data quality features

• ✅ Normalized addresses: Proper capitalization and formatting (title case)
• ✅ Normalized company names: Title case with acronym preservation (e.g., "C.G.I.F", "ASCD")
• ✅ Normalized emails: Lowercase, error correction (e.g., gmail;com → gmail.com)
• ✅ Normalized identifiers: SIREN (9 digits), ORIAS (8 digits), CIF, and Carte T numbers in consistent formats
• ✅ Deduplication: Each office appears only once, even when found in multiple city searches
• ✅ Type safety: All numeric fields are properly validated (numbers or null, never strings)
