French Address Geocoder & Validator (BAN) — Free

Geocode, normalize and validate French addresses using the official Base Adresse Nationale (BAN) operated by the French government (api-adresse.data.gouv.fr). Turn messy address strings into clean, structured records with GPS coordinates, INSEE municipality code (code commune), postcode and a reliability score. Idéal pour géocoder des adresses françaises en masse (géocodage adresse France, validation d'adresse, code INSEE).

This Actor is free — you only pay for your own Apify platform usage.

What it does

For each address you provide, the Actor queries the official BAN geocoder and returns the best match with latitude/longitude, normalized label, street, postcode, city, INSEE citycode, address type (housenumber / street / municipality) and a 0–1 match score you can use to accept or reject results.

Input

FieldTypeDescription
queriesarray of stringsFrench addresses / place names to geocode (one result item each).
postcodeFilterstring (optional)Restrict matches to a single 5-digit postcode.

Output (one item per address)

{
"query": "8 boulevard du Port 95000 Cergy",
"status": "found",
"label": "8 Boulevard du Port 95000 Cergy",
"score": 0.9709,
"type": "housenumber",
"housenumber": "8",
"street": "8 Boulevard du Port",
"postcode": "95000",
"citycode": "95127",
"city": "Cergy",
"longitude": 2.062821,
"latitude": 49.031624,
"banId": "95127_1448_00008"
}

Addresses with no match return {"status": "not_found"}; transient failures return {"status": "error", "error": "..."} — the Actor never crashes on a bad row.

Use cases

  • Clean and geocode a CRM / prospect list of French addresses in bulk.
  • Attach INSEE municipality codes for joining with other French open-data sets.
  • Validate addresses collected from web forms before storing them.
  • Compute map coordinates for logistics, territory planning or data viz.

Limitations & fair use

Coverage is metropolitan France + DOM as published in the BAN. The public BAN API is rate-limited; this Actor adds polite delays and retries. Data is provided under the French open licence (Licence Ouverte / Etalab). This Actor is not affiliated with the French government.
