What is the Public Administration Directory Scraper?

The France Public Administration Directory Scraper is an Apify actor that turns the official annuaire de l'administration into a filterable, exportable contact database. The directory is maintained by the DILA (Direction de l'information légale et administrative) and is the authoritative source for how to reach any French public body — from the smallest village mairie to a national ministry.

It runs on the free official open-data API (no authentication, no API key, no rate limits to fight). Pass a type, a territory and/or a name, and receive one structured row per administration with its full postal address, phone, email, website, opening hours, SIRET and geographic codes.

Why it matters: B2G sales, lobbying and prospecting

Selling to the public sector (B2G) means reaching tens of thousands of decentralised buyers — every commune, every CAF branch, every court runs its own procurement. The contact data exists in the official directory but is locked behind a search UI. This scraper unifies it so you can pull, for example, every mairie in Île-de-France with a phone and email or every CPAM in France as a ready-to-use prospecting list.

Use cases

• B2G prospecting — build targeted contact lists of mairies, préfectures or CAF/CPAM branches by territory.
• Lobbying / public affairs — map the administrative bodies relevant to a policy area.
• Mailing & outreach — export postal addresses, phones and emails for direct campaigns to the public sector.
• GovTech & CRM enrichment — match administrations to communes and INSEE codes for geographic segmentation.
• Research & journalism — analyse the distribution and contactability of public services across France.

FAQ — French public administration directory data

Where does the data come from? The official annuaire de l'administration (lannuaire.service-public.fr), published as open data by the DILA. No key required.

Which administrations are covered? All of them: 94K+ bodies including mairies, préfectures, sous-préfectures, CAF, CPAM, URSSAF, tribunaux, ministries and decentralised state services.

Do all records have a phone and email? Most mairies and branches do; some smaller services list only a postal address or a contact form (contact_form_url). Fields are null when the directory has no value.

How many can I pull at once? The source API caps a single query at 10,000 rows; narrow by department or type to export larger populations slice by slice.
