They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows. 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/docs.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.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/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. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## French Insolvency & Solvency Checker (BODACC) — free **Is this French company bankrupt?** Paste a list of SIREN or SIRET numbers and get one clear solvency verdict per company: is it under an insolvency proceeding (*procédure collective* — liquidation judiciaire, redressement judiciaire, sauvegarde), has that proceeding been closed, or has the company been struck off the register (*radiation*)? Data comes straight from the official **BODACC** open dataset published by DILA, so it never breaks and needs no API key. This is a **verdict tool, not a raw announcement feed**: instead of dumping every legal notice, it reads a company's whole BODACC history and collapses it into a single, decision-ready row — perfect for cleaning a CRM, screening leads, or running a credit-risk pass before you sign a client. This Actor is **free** — you only pay your own Apify platform usage. ### What it does For each French company identifier you provide, the Actor: 1. Normalizes the input (SIREN 9 digits, or SIRET 14 → SIREN). 2. Pulls that company's announcements from the BODACC *annonces-commerciales* open data API. 3. Detects collective proceedings and strike-offs, orders them by date, and computes the **current** solvency state. 4. Returns one row with a plain-English verdict and a risk level. Keywords: BODACC, procédure collective, liquidation judiciaire, redressement judiciaire, sauvegarde, radiation RCS, entreprise en faillite, solvabilité entreprise française, French company insolvency, bankruptcy check, credit risk, KYC, due diligence, SIREN, SIRET. ### Input | Field | Type | Required | Description | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | `companyIds` | array of strings | yes | One SIREN (9 digits) or SIRET (14 digits) per line. | | `maxAnnouncementsPerCompany` | integer | no | Announcements pulled per company before deciding (default 200). | ```json { "companyIds": ["356000000", "443061841", "55203253400041"] } ```` ### Output One dataset item per identifier. Example: ```json { "status": "found", "input": "552032534", "siren": "552032534", "companyName": "ACME DISTRIBUTION", "solvencyVerdict": "procedure_ongoing", "hasActiveProcedure": true, "riskLevel": "high", "latestProcedureType": "liquidation_judiciaire", "latestProcedureLabel": "Jugement d'ouverture de liquidation judiciaire", "latestProcedureDate": "2024-03-10", "latestProcedureTribunal": "Tribunal de commerce de Lille", "procedureCount": 2, "struckOff": false, "struckOffDate": null, "announcementsAnalyzed": 7, "sourceUrl": "https://bodacc-datadila.opendatasoft.com/explore/dataset/annonces-commerciales/table/?q=552032534", "checkedAt": "2026-07-05T10:00:00.000Z" } ``` **`solvencyVerdict`** is one of: | Verdict | Meaning | | --- | --- | | `no_procedure` | No collective proceeding found in BODACC. | | `procedure_ongoing` | An insolvency proceeding is open (see `latestProcedureType`). | | `procedure_closed` | A past proceeding that has since been closed (*clôture*). | | `struck_off` | Company struck off the RCS (*radiation*). | | `no_bodacc_record` | No BODACC announcement at all for this SIREN (see limitations). | **`riskLevel`**: `none` · `low` · `medium` · `high` · `unknown`. Every item also carries a `status` of `found`, `not_found`, or `error`, so a bad identifier never breaks the run. ### Use cases - **Lead & CRM cleaning** — drop dead or bankrupt companies from a prospecting list in one pass. - **Credit risk & AR** — screen new clients before granting payment terms. - **KYC / due diligence** — a fast, official first check on a French counterparty. - **Portfolio monitoring** — re-run on a schedule to catch a supplier or client entering a procedure. ### Limitations & fair use - BODACC records **RCS-registered** entities. A `no_bodacc_record` verdict means "no announcement found" — it is **not** proof of good health (some healthy companies only ever have a creation notice, and micro-entrepreneurs may be absent). - Announcements are the legal record; there is a normal publication delay of days to weeks after a court decision. - Data source: official BODACC open data by **DILA**, under the [Licence Ouverte / Open Licence 2.0](https://www.etalab.gouv.fr/licence-ouverte-open-licence). This tool is not affiliated with DILA. Use the data responsibly and in line with the *loi Informatique et Libertés*. ### More free French-data Actors by this developer Part of a free toolkit for French company data — **find → enrich → verify**: - **French Company Data Enricher (SIREN, dirigeants)** — identity, legal form, directors, address from a SIREN. - **EU VAT Number Validator (VIES)** — check a VAT number is live and valid. - **French Legal Notice Generator (Mentions Légales, LCEN)** — LCEN-compliant legal notice from a SIREN. - **New French Companies Finder (SIRENE)** — fresh company registrations by department / activity. 👉 See all Actors: **https://apify.com/fit\_melon** # Actor input Schema ## `companyIds` (type: `array`): List of French company identifiers to check — one 9-digit SIREN or 14-digit SIRET per line. Paste a column from your CRM or lead list. One result row is produced per identifier. ## `maxAnnouncementsPerCompany` (type: `integer`): How many BODACC announcements to pull per company before deciding the verdict (newest first). 200 is plenty for the vast majority of companies. ## Actor input object example ```json { "companyIds": [ "356000000", "443061841", "552032534" ], "maxAnnouncementsPerCompany": 200 } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
