FFE Equestrian Clubs · French Directory

Export French riding club contacts from the public FFE (Fédération Française d'Équitation) directory. Pick a department (or nationwide) and get one row per club: name, address, published phone, GPS, website and federation labels.

No login. No API key. No federation account.

Who is this for?

You are…	Typical goal	Suggested setup
Tack, feed or equipment brand	Prospect list of riding schools and clubs	One department first, then All departments
Event or competition organiser	Clubs that can host or relay a meeting	Your département + neighbouring codes
Agency / outbound	CRM feed with phone and website	Overview or Outreach CRM view
Local authority / school sport	Territory map of FFE structures	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, website, finder URL, federation labels and status when the directory has them. Phone only when the federation published it. Most clubs do not publish a mailbox — the directory uses a federation contact form instead (contactFormUrl).

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

Location	Department, town, postcode, address, GPS, regional committee
Contact	Phone (when published), contact form URL, mailbox when present
Web	Club website
Labels	Federation labels (e.g. École Française d'Équitation)

Typical coverage

On a 20-club Paris export, every row has a club name, department and finder URL. Phone, website and GPS follow what the federation shows — empty when the club did not publish them. This Actor never invents a mailbox or a number.

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
maxConcurrency	integer	4	Departments in parallel (1–8)
delayBetweenRequests	integer	80	Pause between locator calls (ms)

Examples

Paris (Try):

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

Nationwide, paid plan, no row ceiling:

{ "departments": ["ALL"], "maxItems": 0 }

}

How it works

1. Reads the public FFE club locator for each selected department.
2. Keeps clubs whose postcode maps to that department (neighbours on the same map window are dropped).
3. Deduplicates clubs by identifier.
4. Writes each row to the dataset as soon as it is complete.

How much does it cost to scrape FFE 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 FFE 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 FFE?

This Actor only accesses data that FFE 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 ffe-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.
