## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
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.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## 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.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## 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.

### Input

| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `facilityTypes` | array | Presets: `ehpad` (500), `residence_autonomie` (202), `ssiad` (354), `hospital` (101, 355), `pharmacy` (620), `medical_laboratory` (611) |
| `departments` | array | French department codes, e.g. `["59", "62"]`. Empty = all of France |
| `customCategoryCodes` | array | Any raw FINESS category code (`categetab`), e.g. `124` for health centers |
| `categoryLabelContains` | string | Substring match on the French category label, e.g. `crèche` |
| `nameContains` | string | Substring match on the establishment name, e.g. `KORIAN` |
| `maxResults` | integer | Cap on returned establishments (default 200) |

### Output

One dataset item per establishment, with an explicit `status` (`found` / `not_found` / `error`):

```json
{
  "status": "found",
  "finess": "590000000",
  "finessEj": "590000001",
  "name": "EHPAD LES JARDINS DU LION",
  "categoryCode": "500",
  "categoryLabel": "EHPAD",
  "address": "12 Rue de la Paix",
  "postalCode": "59000",
  "city": "LILLE",
  "department": "59",
  "phone": "0320000000",
  "siret": "12345678900012",
  "apeCode": "8710A",
  "openedAt": "1998-01-01",
  "source": "FINESS via data.gouv.fr (Licence Ouverte 2.0)"
}
````

### Use cases

- **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.

### Works great with

Chain this actor with the rest of the French business data suite by the same developer:

- **[French Company Data Enricher (SIREN)](https://apify.com/fit_melon/french-company-data-enricher-siren-dirigeants-sirene)** — feed it the `siret` of each facility to get legal form, executives, financials.
- **[French Insolvency & Solvency Checker (BODACC)](https://apify.com/fit_melon/french-insolvency-checker-bodacc)** — check whether an operator is in insolvency proceedings before doing business.
- **[French Collective Agreement Finder (IDCC)](https://apify.com/fit_melon/french-collective-agreement-finder-idcc)** — find the collective agreement of each facility from its SIRET.

### Limitations & fair use

- Source data is refreshed by the French administration roughly monthly; day-old changes may not appear yet.
- The registry lists open establishments as maintained by the ANS and regional health agencies; occasional administrative lag is possible.
- The actor sends polite, paginated requests to the public data.gouv API. Please keep `maxResults` reasonable for your actual need.
- Data licence: [Licence Ouverte / Open Licence 2.0](https://www.etalab.gouv.fr/licence-ouverte-open-licence) — free reuse with attribution to the source.

# Actor input Schema
