FFCK Canoe-Kayak Clubs · French Directory

Export French canoe-kayak club contacts from the public FFCK (Fédération Française de Canoë-Kayak) directory. Pick a department (or nationwide) and get one row per club: name, address, published email, phone, GPS, website and activity labels.

No login. No API key. No federation account.

Who is this for?

You are…	Typical goal	Suggested setup
Paddle, boat or outdoor brand	Prospect list of FFCK clubs	One department first, then All departments
Event or competition organiser	Clubs that can host or relay a race	Your département + neighbouring codes
Agency / outbound	CRM feed with email, phone and website	Overview or Outreach CRM view
Local authority / school sport	Territory map of canoe-kayak clubs	One code, then neighbours
Data / ops	Scheduled master table of the federation	departments: ["ALL"], maxItems: 0

What you get by default. Club name, department, address, GPS, finder URL and discipline labels when the directory has them. Email, phone and website only when the club published them. Generic federation HQ inboxes are omitted; club-specific federation mailboxes are kept. If the published site is a Facebook page, it is stored as website. This Actor never invents a mailbox.

When to go nationwide. Use All departments on a paid plan with maxItems: 0. Corsica (2A / 2B) and overseas departments (including Réunion 974) are included.

How to use

1. Open the Actor in Apify Console.
2. Pick one or more departments, or All departments.
3. Keep Max clubs at 20 for a first run (Free plan is always 20 per run). Set 0 on a paid plan for a full export of the selection.
4. Click Start. Rows appear in the Dataset while the run is still listing other departments.

What it extracts

Category	Fields
Identity	Club name, FFCK listing id
Location	Department, town, postcode, address, GPS
Contact	Email and phone when published
Web	Club website when published (Facebook when that is the published site)
Labels	Federation activity tags (e.g. Slalom, Kayak-Polo)
Finder	Link on ffck.org/clubs

Typical coverage

On a Paris export, every row has a club name, department and finder URL. Email, phone, website and GPS follow what the federation shows — empty when the club did not publish them.

Input

Field	Type	Default	Notes
departments	array	["75"]	Department codes, or ALL for nationwide including Corsica. Omitted = Paris. Empty array = nationwide.
maxItems	integer	20	0 = no row ceiling. Free plan: 20 / run.

API-only keys

Not shown on the Console form. Safe defaults are already in code.

Key	Type	Default	Notes
delayBetweenRequests	integer	80	Pause between club pages (ms)

Examples

{ "departments": ["75"], "maxItems": 20 }

{
  "clubId": "968057",
  "structureName": "JEUNE KAYAK PARISIEN",
  "departmentNumber": "75",
  "town": "PARIS",
  "postalCode": "75013",
  "address": "5 PLACE PAUL VERLAINE 75013 PARIS FRANCE",

}

How it works

1. Reads the public FFCK club directory for the selected departments.
2. Keeps clubs whose postcode maps to that department (Réunion is 974, not 97; Corsica is 2A / 2B).
3. Deduplicates clubs by listing identifier.
4. Writes each row to the dataset as soon as it is complete.

How much does it cost to scrape FFCK clubs?

HTTP-only — no browser. You pay pay-per-event on the Store: about $0.00749 per exported club plus a negligible run start.

Scenario	Approx. cost
20 clubs (Try / Free plan)	~$0.15
1,000 clubs	~$7.49
Full selection with maxItems: 0	$0.00749 × clubs exported

Is scraping FFCK free?

Apify Free plan users get 20 clubs per run. Paid plans follow PPE and your max charge. Compute is cheap because this Actor does not launch a browser.

Is it legal to scrape FFCK?

This Actor only accesses data that FFCK makes publicly available in its club directory. As with any data containing personal information, ensure your use complies with GDPR and relevant regulations.

Local development

cd ffck-clubs-scraper
npm install
apify run --input-file=./.actor/INPUT.json

storage/key_value_stores/default/INPUT.json must satisfy the input schema, or pass --input-file. On local apify run, platform/CLI input overwrites overlapping keys from a root input.json.
