## 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

## Commissaires de Justice France · Official Directory Emails

Turn the **official directory of the Chambre nationale des commissaires de justice (CNCJ)** into a **clean contact list**: every French commissaire de justice office (the former *huissiers de justice* and *commissaires-priseurs judiciaires*) with its **email, phone, website, address, GPS, team names and services** such as property management, syndic and judicial auctions.

**Official register. No login. No API key.**

**Free Apify plan:** 20 rows per run. Paid plans export the whole directory (about 2,200 offices, 3,700 professionals).

***

### Who is this for?

| You are… | Typical goal | Suggested setup |
|----------|--------------|-----------------|
| Legal tech / debt-collection software vendor | Prospect every office that serves documents and recovers debts | All of France, **Contacts (CRM)** view |
| Debt collection agency, credit manager, lender | Find a local commissaire de justice in each department | Your departments, one row per office |
| Property manager, landlord platform, proptech | Partner with offices that also do **gestion locative** or **syndic** | **Services offered** = Property management / Condominium management |
| Auction house, liquidation or asset buyer | Reach offices that run **judicial auctions and inventories** | **Services offered** = Judicial auctions |
| Recruiter / training organisation for the profession | Named professionals, not just offices | **One row per** = Commissaire de justice (person) |
| Lawyer, notary, insurer | Build a referral map by city | **Cities** = your cities |

**What you get by default:** one row per office with the email and phone published in the official directory, website when the office has one, street address, GPS, team list, opening hours, languages and services.

**Honest fill rates** (October 2026, 150 random offices from the directory + 20-row test run):

| Field | Fill rate |
|-------|-----------|
| Email | **~97%** (95% on a 20-office Paris sample) |
| Phone | **100%** |
| Street, postal code, city, department | 100% |
| GPS (latitude / longitude) | 99% |
| Team names (commissaires de justice of the office) | ~95% (sole practitioners without a team block get their own name) |
| Website | 54% |
| Opening hours | 51% |
| Additional activities (property management, syndic, mediation) | ~22% of offices |
| Declared specialties (digital evidence, construction defects, evictions, judicial sales...) | ~4% of offices |
| Online payment link | ~20% |

***

### Quick start

1. Pick one or more **departments** (or leave empty for all of France).
2. Click **Start**.
3. Open the **Contacts (CRM)** view and export to CSV, Excel or JSON.

That is it: about 30 seconds for a department, under 2 minutes for the whole of France.

***

### How much does it cost to scrape the commissaires de justice directory?

Pay per event: a small start fee per run, then a price per row. Rows with an email or phone (almost all of them) use the "with contact" price.

| Event | Free | Bronze | Silver | Gold | Platinum | Diamond |
|-------|------|--------|--------|------|----------|---------|
| Run started (once per run) | $0.05 | $0.05 | $0.05 | $0.05 | $0.05 | $0.05 |
| Row with email or phone | $0.0030 | $0.0027 | $0.0024 | $0.0021 | $0.0020 | $0.0020 |
| Row without contact (rare) | $0.0015 | $0.0013 | $0.0012 | $0.0010 | $0.0010 | $0.0010 |

| Scenario | Rows | Free plan | Bronze | Gold | Diamond |
|----------|------|-----------|--------|------|---------|
| One department (e.g. Paris) | ~150 | $0.05 + 20 rows max = $0.11 | $0.46 | $0.37 | $0.35 |
| Property management offices, all France | ~480 | $0.11 (20 rows) | $1.35 | $1.06 | $1.01 |
| Whole directory, one row per office | ~2,200 | $0.11 (20 rows) | $5.99 | $4.67 | $4.45 |
| Whole directory, one row per professional | ~3,700 | $0.11 (20 rows) | $10.04 | $7.82 | $7.45 |

Platform usage is included in the price.

### Is it legal to scrape the commissaires de justice directory?

This Actor reads the public pages of the official directory published by the Chambre nationale des commissaires de justice, the same pages anyone can open in a browser, without logging in. Commissaires de justice are public and ministerial officers whose professional contact details are published so that the public can reach them. The data is professional (office emails, office phones, office addresses), not private.

You remain responsible for how you use the data. Under the GDPR, B2B prospecting of professionals is generally allowed when the message is relevant to their profession and every message offers an easy opt-out. Do not use the data for spam, and respect the CNCJ terms of use. If in doubt, ask a lawyer.

***

### Limitations

- The directory is the source of truth: if an office has not published a website or opening hours, the field is empty.
- Emails are office mailboxes (often `@commissaire-justice.fr` or `@huissier-justice.fr`), not personal mailboxes of each professional.
- Department, city and service filters are applied while reading the directory, so a narrow filter still reads the whole directory (fast and included in the price).
- Activity and specialty labels stay in French, exactly as published (field names are in English).

***

### Input

| Field | Type | Description |
|-------|------|-------------|
| `departments` | array | Department codes (`75`, `13`, `2A`, `974`...). Empty = all of France. |
| `cities` | array | Optional city names; accents and case ignored. |
| `services` | array | `property_management`, `condominium_management`, `judicial_auctions`, `mediation`, `website`. An office matches if it offers at least one. |
| `outputMode` | string | `offices` (default) or `people`. |
| `officeUrls` | array | Refresh specific offices by pasting their directory links. Filters are ignored. |
| `maxItems` | integer | Stop after this many rows. `0` = no cap. Default 50. |

```json
{
  "departments": ["75", "92", "93", "94"],
  "services": ["property_management"],
  "outputMode": "offices",
  "maxItems": 0
}
```

API-only options: `verboseLogs` (boolean, extra debug lines).

}
```

Dataset views: **Overview**, **Contacts (CRM)**, **People**, **Services & specialties**. A readable **Run log** is saved with every run.

***

### How it works

The Actor reads the list of offices published by the official directory, opens each office page over plain HTTP (no browser), reads the structured contact block and the team list, applies your filters and writes one row per office or per professional. Pages are read in small parallel batches with automatic retries.

***

### Local development

```bash
npm install
npm test                      # unit tests (node --test)
echo '{"departments":["75"],"maxItems":20}' > storage/key_value_stores/default/INPUT.json
node src/main.js              # or: apify run
```
