FFME Climbing Clubs · French Directory

Export French climbing and mountain club contacts from the public FFME (Fédération française de la montagne et de l’escalade) directory. Pick a department (or nationwide) and get one row per club: name, address, published email, GPS, website and club page.

No login. No API key. No federation account.

Who is this for?

You are…	Typical goal	Suggested setup
Outdoor / climbing brand	Prospect list of FFME clubs	One department first, then All departments
Gym, wall or event organiser	Clubs that can host or relay a session	Your département + neighbouring codes
Agency / outbound	CRM feed with email and website	Overview or Outreach CRM view
Local authority / school sport	Territory map of climbing 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 and public club page. Email is the mailbox published on the club sheet. Federation HQ inboxes (contact@ffme.fr, *@ffme.fr) are omitted. Website follows what the club published — including Facebook when that is the URL on the sheet. This Actor never invents a mailbox. Phone is included when the club lists one (many sheets do not).

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. Alsace (67 / 68) uses standard department codes.

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 as club pages are opened.

How to scrape FFME climbing clubs

This Actor reads the public FFME structures map (Trouver un club), then opens each matching club page for published contacts. You do not need a MyFFME account.

How much does it cost to scrape FFME 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 (list / Free PPE)
20 clubs (Try / Free plan)	~$0.15
1,000 clubs	~$7.49
Full selection with maxItems: 0	$0.00749 × clubs exported

Include the one-time actor-start charge in run totals. Higher Apify subscription tiers may pay less per event when the Store listing uses tiered PPE.

Is scraping FFME 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 FFME?

This Actor only accesses data that FFME 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 ffme-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.
