## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## 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.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## French Lawyers · CNB Directory Contacts

Build a **clean outbound / CRM list of French avocats** from the **official Conseil national des barreaux (CNB) national register** — not PagesJaunes noise, not scraped LinkedIn guesses.

**~81,000 lawyers · ~99.7% emails · ~93% phones · ~88% SIREN · 164 barreaux.** Updated monthly. Open licence (Etalab 2.0).

**No login. No API key. No browser. No residential proxy bill.**

> Compared to marketplace “seller Impressum” scrapers: those fight WAF with Chrome + residential and often miss emails. This Actor reads the **same official file legaltech ops already trust** — structured, cheap, and nearly complete on email.

### Who is this for?

| You are… | Typical goal | Suggested setup |
|---|---|---|
| Legaltech / cabinet software | Prospect list of decision-makers by barreau | Barreau = PARIS or LYON · **Outreach** view |
| RC pro insurer / broker | Firms to underwrite or renew | Mode **Unique cabinets** · dept 75 / 69 |
| Training / CLE / éditeur | Attorneys in a practice area | Specialty = `Droit du travail` · **Require specialty** |
| SDR / agency selling to cabinets | Fresh email + phone file | Barreau + **Require email** |
| Data / ops | Monthly refresh of a territory | Max items = 0 · schedule |

**What you get by default:** name, official email, phone, firm, address, barreau, city, department, SIREN/SIRET when present, languages, specialties when published.

**When to switch to Unique cabinets:** firm-level CRM (one row per SIREN with `lawyer_count`) instead of one row per avocat.

### How to use

1. Open the Actor in Apify Console.
2. Keep **Barreau = PARIS** and **Max items = 50** for a first run — or set your market.
3. Optional: department (`75`), city, specialty keyword (`Droit fiscal`), **Require email**.
4. Click **Start**. Export JSON / CSV / Excel.

**Max items = 0** → all matches (Free plan still capped at **100** rows / run).

### How much does it cost to scrape the CNB lawyer directory?

**HTTP-only open data** — compute stays low (default **1024 MB**, no residential proxy).

| | Free | Bronze | Silver | Gold | Platinum | Diamond |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Per lawyer (PPE) | $0.002 | $0.0018 | $0.0016 | $0.0014 | $0.0012 | $0.001 |
| 50 lawyers (PPE) | **$0.10** | $0.09 | $0.08 | $0.07 | $0.06 | $0.05 |
| 1,000 lawyers (PPE) | **$2.00** | $1.80 | $1.60 | $1.40 | $1.20 | $1.00 |
| Unique cabinet row | $0.002 | $0.0018 | $0.0016 | $0.0014 | $0.0012 | $0.001 |

Free plan: **100 rows / run** to test. Full France (~81k) is a paid / uncapped run.

### Is it legal to scrape / reuse the CNB annuaire?

This Actor downloads the **official open dataset** published by the CNB on [data.gouv.fr](https://www.data.gouv.fr/datasets/annuaire-des-avocats-de-france) under **Licence Ouverte Etalab 2.0**. As with any file containing personal data, ensure your use complies with GDPR (legitimate interest / B2B outreach rules, opt-out, etc.).

### Input

| Field | Default | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| `mode` | `lawyers` | or `cabinets` |
| `barreaux` | `PARIS` | multi-select (164 CNB barreaux) |
| `departments` | — | multi-select (postal dept codes) |
| `cities` | — | free-text contains match (too many cities for a dropdown) |
| `specialties` | — | contains match on official labels |
| `keywords` | — | name / firm / email |
| `requireEmail` / `requirePhone` / `requireSpecialty` | no | quality gates |
| `excludeSalaried` | no | skip salariés |
| `maxItems` | 50 | **0** = no ceiling |

```json
{
  "mode": "lawyers",
  "barreaux": ["PARIS"],
  "maxItems": 50,
  "requireEmail": "no"
}
```

### Output

```json
{
  "lawyer_id": "095048",
  "full_name": "Hervé DUVAL",
  "email": "h.duval@duval-legal.com",
  "phone": "01 47 64 45 41",
  "firm_name": "DUVAL LEGAL",
  "siren": "531581502",
  "barreau": "PARIS",
  "city": "PARIS",
  "postal_code": "75008",
  "department": "75",
  "specialty_primary": "Droit de la sécurité sociale et de la protection sociale",
  "specialties": ["Droit de la sécurité sociale et de la protection sociale"],
  "languages": ["Français"],
  "is_salaried": false,
  "source": "cnb-open-data"
}
```

### How it works

1. Resolve the **latest** CNB CSV on data.gouv.fr.
2. Download + parse (~18 MB, UTF-8).
3. Apply your barreau / geo / specialty / quality filters.
4. Optionally aggregate unique cabinets by SIREN.
5. Export rows progressively to the dataset.

### Tips

- Start with **one barreau** — Paris alone is ~35k lawyers.
- Use **Require specialty** only when you need a niche; most lawyers leave specialty blank.
- Prefer **Unique cabinets** when selling firm licences (legaltech, RC pro).
- Schedule a monthly run after CNB’s monthly refresh.

### Limitations

- Data is only as fresh as the CNB monthly export.
- Specialty coverage is sparse (~6%).
- Address / phone quality depends on what each ordre transmitted.
- Not a substitute for RPVA / e-barreau software APIs (those need CNB référencement).

# Actor input Schema

## `mode` (type: `string`):

**Lawyers (default):** one row per avocat. **Unique cabinets:** one row per firm (SIREN) with lawyer count — better for firm-level CRM.

## `barreaux` (type: `array`):

Select one or more CNB bar associations (exact names from the official register). Leave empty for all France (use Max items carefully).

## `departments` (type: `array`):

Optional postal department codes from the register (mainland + overseas).

Match name, firm, email, city or barreau (contains).

## `requireEmail` (type: `string`):

**No (default):** keep rows without email (~0.3%). **Yes:** email-only CRM lists.

## `requirePhone` (type: `string`):

**No (default).** **Yes:** only rows with a published phone.

## `requireSpecialty` (type: `string`):

**No (default).** **Yes:** only lawyers with at least one official specialty.

## `excludeSalaried` (type: `string`):

**No (default).** **Yes:** keep independent / firm partners only (skip salariés).

Row ceiling. Default **50**. **0** = no ceiling (all matches). Free plans capped at 100 / run.
