Who is this for?

You are…	Typical goal	Suggested setup
Grant / foundation desk	New associations in a cause	Keyword watch · environnement
Local business BD	Clubs and parent associations in a department	Daily new associations · Departments 75
Municipality / prefecture ops	Dissolutions on your territory	Recent dissolutions
Agency / data	Scheduled master table	Daily preset · maxResults: 0
KYB / research	History for a known RNA	API JSON · rnaNumbers

What you get by default: notice type, publication date, association name, RNA, legal form, seat (address, city, postal code, department), object (short + full on creations), and a PDF link.

Typical fill rates (50 recent gazette notices each, measured 2026-08-23):

Field	Creations	Dissolutions	Amendments
RNA	~100%	~96%	~100%
City / postal / address	~100%	~94–96%	~100%
Object	~100%	~0% (not published)	~22%
Website	~4%	~0%	~2%
Email	~0%	~0%	~0%
Official PDF	~100%	~100%	~100%

Email is almost never in the gazette text — empty is expected. Websites are more common on annual-account rows (sources: ["dca"], ~50% in a recent sample, plus SIREN).

What does this Actor do?

JOAFE is the official gazette for French associations, foundations and endowment funds. This Actor lists creations, amendments and dissolutions, then flattens each notice into one export row. The RNA number (Waldec) is included when the gazette published it.

Preset	What it does
Daily new associations	Yesterday→today · creations only
Recent dissolutions	Yesterday→today · dissolutions
Creations — last 7 days	Wider window · creations
Keyword watch	Last 7 days of creations · use with keywords

Annual-account filings (source: dca, often with SIREN + website) are available via API JSON (sources: ["dca"]).

---

What data does it extract?

Category	Fields
Notice	ID, type (EN + FR), status, source (joafe / dca), issue + notice numbers
Association	Name, previous name, RNA, SIREN (accounts), legal form
Object	Full object, short object (~300 chars), activity domain
Contacts	Website, email when present in the notice text
Geo	Address, postal code, city, department, region, prefecture, coordinates
Link	Official PDF when published

---

How it works

1. Apply the preset (notice type + date window).
2. Optionally narrow by keywords, department, or a pasted Journal officiel URL.
3. List matching notices from the public gazette.
4. Flatten each notice into one row immediately.

FAQ

Why is email empty? JOAFE almost never stores a mailbox (~0% on recent gazette samples). Website is uncommon on creations (~4%) and more common on account filings (~50%).

Is this the full RNA directory? No — this is the gazette (events). The RNA number on each row is the join key to the national register.

Do I need a Journal officiel account? No.

Local development

npm install
npm test
apify run --input-file=./input.json

On local runs, repo input.json is merged first; CLI / KV input overwrites the same keys.
