Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## French Companies Scraper: SIRENE Leads, Directors & Emails

Build **B2B lead lists of French companies** straight from the official government register (SIRENE / RNE, via the open *Recherche d'entreprises* API). Filter by activity (NAF code or sector), department, postal code, headcount, revenue, company age and official labels. For every company you get its directors, finances, VAT number and headquarters.

Optionally, the Actor also finds the **company's own website and verifies it**: French law requires every business website to display its SIREN number, so we only mark a site `verified_siren` when the company's SIREN is actually printed on it. We then extract its **emails, phone numbers and social links**.

**No login, no API key, no Pappers subscription needed.**

### ✨ Why this Actor

| | |
|---|---|
| ♾️ **No 10,000-result cap** | The official API stops at 10,000 results per search. This Actor detects that and automatically splits your search by department, headcount and activity code, so you can export a whole sector. |
| 🌐 **Verified websites** | Websites are matched to companies by the SIREN on their legal notice, not guessed by name, so you don't email the wrong "Dupont SARL". Unverified but likely matches are labeled `probable`. |
| 📧 **Emails, phones, socials** | Pulled from the verified website (home, legal notice and contact pages). Emails on the company's own domain come first, and generic addresses (contact@, info@) are flagged. |
| 🔔 **Monitoring** | Schedule a saved search to get only **new companies** (for example new plumbers in Lyon) and **companies whose key data changed**: status, directors, address, activity, headcount or legal form. Each change comes with the old and new value, for example `{"field": "directors", "before": "…", "after": "…"}`. |
| 🧾 **Clean, readable data** | Official labels for NAF codes, legal forms and headcount ranges, numeric headcount bounds, confidential revenue shown as `null` (not a misleading 0), person vs. company directors, and links to Annuaire Entreprises and Pappers. |
| 💸 **Fair pricing** | You pay per company, and **contact enrichment is billed only when a website is found**. |

### 🎯 Use cases

- **Sales prospecting**: every construction SME with 10–49 employees in Isère, with director names and verified websites.
- **New-business leads**: companies created in the last 30 days in your area, for accountants, banks, insurers, web agencies and equipment suppliers.
- **Market mapping**: how many restaurants there are in Paris, and how big.
- **KYC and supplier monitoring**: get alerted when a partner company ceases activity or changes directors.
- **CRM enrichment**: paste a list of SIRENs and get complete, standardized profiles back.

### 🌐 How contact enrichment works

1. We guess likely domains from the legal name, trade name and acronym (for example `pelissard.fr` for *ENTREPRISE PELISSARD*) and check they exist.
2. We visit the site's home page, legal notice ("mentions légales") and contact pages.
3. If the company's **SIREN is printed there**, the site is `verified_siren`. If not, but the domain contains the company's name and the site shows the headquarters postal code, it is marked `probable`. Otherwise we return nothing rather than a wrong site.
4. Optionally (`useGoogleSearch`), we also run a Google search for companies whose name doesn't give away their domain.

In our tests on construction SMEs (6–99 employees), about **1 in 3 companies** received a website, most of them SIREN-verified, and most of those had an email and a phone. Many small French companies simply have no website.

### 💰 Pricing

| Event | Price |
|---|---|
| Company | **$4 / 1,000 companies** |
| Website + contacts found (only when found) | **$25 / 1,000 enriched companies** |
| Run start | $0.003 |

### ❓ FAQ

- **Is this data legal to use?** Company data from SIRENE and RNE is public open data (Licence Ouverte). Director names are personal data: use them in line with the GDPR, for example for B2B prospecting with a legitimate interest and an opt-out. Companies that opted out of public dissemination ("non-diffusibles") are not returned.
- **Why is revenue sometimes null?** Many small companies file confidential accounts, so their revenue isn't public.
- **Do department filters use the headquarters' location?** No, they match companies with *any* establishment in the area. `matchingEstablishments` lists those local sites.
- **How fresh is the data?** The official API is updated daily from INSEE and INPI.
