French Healthcare Facilities Finder (FINESS) — EHPAD, Hospitals, Pharmacies

Free actor — you only pay your own Apify platform usage (a few cents per thousand results).

Find every French healthcare and medico-social facility from FINESS, the official national registry of health and social establishments (Fichier National des Établissements Sanitaires et Sociaux). Search EHPAD (nursing homes / maisons de retraite), hospitals (CHU, centres hospitaliers), pharmacies (officines), home nursing services (SSIAD), medical biology laboratories, résidences autonomie and any other FINESS category, filtered by French department. Each result includes the FINESS number, full address, phone number and SIRET — ready for CRM import, B2B lead generation in the French healthcare sector (prospection B2B santé, annuaire établissements sanitaires et médico-sociaux), market studies, or territory mapping.

Data comes from the official open data re-exposure of the FINESS registry on data.gouv.fr (Licence Ouverte 2.0), queried live through the data.gouv tabular API — no scraping, no breakage. The actor resolves the source schema dynamically at each run, so it keeps working even if the upstream file structure evolves.

• Healthcare B2B lead generation: build call/mailing lists of EHPAD, clinics or pharmacies per department for medical devices, services, wellness providers or staffing agencies.
• Market and territory analysis: count and map facilities by category and department for expansion studies.
• Data enrichment pipelines: the returned SIRET plugs directly into company registries for legal and financial enrichment.
• Public health & research: reproducible extracts of the official registry without wrestling with the raw headerless CSV files.
