France Company Registry Scraper

Scrape France's official government company registry (SIRENE / "Recherche d'entreprises", run by DINUM). Search companies by name, brand, or SIREN/SIRET number, look up an exact SIREN, or find companies near a geographic location. Returns legal name, registered address, activity code, executives, size category, and financial data (revenue, net income) sourced directly from official INSEE and business-court filings. HTTP-only via the public government REST API. No auth, no proxy, no cost.

FAQ

What is SIRENE? The official French national registry of businesses and their establishments, maintained by INSEE (French national statistics institute). Every company operating in France is assigned a unique 9-digit SIREN number.

Is this data official? Yes. It comes directly from recherche-entreprises.api.gouv.fr, a public API published by DINUM (French digital administration agency), which aggregates INSEE/SIRENE, the National Business Registry (RNE), and business-court filings.

Do I need an API key or login? No. The API is fully public and free; the actor requires no credentials.

What's the difference between SIREN and SIRET? SIREN identifies the legal entity (9 digits). SIRET identifies one physical establishment of that entity (14 digits = SIREN + 5-digit establishment code).

Why is financials sometimes missing? Not every company discloses annual accounts publicly, and very recent or very small companies may not have filed yet.

What does sizeCategoryCode mean? PME (small/medium enterprise), ETI (mid-size), GE (large enterprise) — official INSEE size classifications based on headcount, revenue, and balance sheet.

Can I search outside France? No — this registry covers only companies registered in France (including its overseas departments).

How fresh is the data? The registry is updated continuously from INSEE and court-filing feeds, typically within days of a legal change.

What's in labels[]? A list of the official certifications/registrations the company actually holds — only the ones that are true are listed (e.g. ["Qualiopi certified", "RGE certified (environmental works)"]). Possible values: Organic certified, Social & solidarity economy, Qualiopi certified, RGE certified (environmental works), Food safety inspected (Alim'confiance), Responsible purchasing label (RFAR), Living Heritage Company (EPV), Work-integration social enterprise (SIAE), Training organization, Live entertainment license, Mission-driven company, Public administration, Local government body, Educational institution (UAI), Healthcare facility (FINESS), Gender equality index disclosed, Collective bargaining agreement disclosed, Lawyer (Annuaire des avocats de France), Carbon footprint report disclosed (Bilan GES), Received de minimis state aid, Received ADEME environmental aid.

Why does onlyLawyer/onlyGHGReportDisclosed/onlyReceivedMinimisAid/onlyReceivedAdemeAid sometimes take longer to return results? Unlike the other certification filters, the upstream registry doesn't support filtering by these four flags server-side, so the actor pages through results and filters client-side (capped at 200 pages to bound runtime). Combine with a specific searchQuery for faster results.

Does the address match my codePostal/departement/codeCommune/region/epci/collectiviteTerritorialeCode filter? Yes — when any of these location filters is active, the returned address/postalCode/siret are for the specific establishment that matched your filter (which may be a branch, not the headquarters), not necessarily the registered headquarters. Without a location filter, the headquarters address is shown.

Can I search by an executive's name? Yes — executiveName/executiveFirstName search across both company officers ("dirigeants") and elected public officials ("élus"); they work in every mode (server-side for search, client-side for byIds/nearPoint). Use executiveType to restrict to one or the other, and executiveBirthDateMin/executiveBirthDateMax to narrow by birth date (mode=search only).

What are electedOfficials[] and localGovernmentLevel? For local government bodies (communes, departments, regions, EPCIs — set onlyLocalGovernment: true to filter to these), the registry exposes their elected officials (mayor, deputy mayors, councillors) instead of company-style executives. localGovernmentLevel is the body's tier (e.g. Commune).

What's employeeRange vs employeeRangeCode? employeeRangeCode is the raw official INSEE band code (e.g. 21); employeeRange is its human-readable label (e.g. 50-99 employees). Use employeeRange as the input filter value.

Why does sourceUrl briefly show a "Loading" page? The official government directory site runs a standard bot-protection check before displaying the company page — this resolves automatically within a second or two in any regular web browser and doesn't affect the data returned by this actor.
