France New Companies & Insolvency Alerts – BODACC Feed

Get BODACC announcements (Bulletin officiel des annonces civiles et commerciales) as clean, flat JSON/CSV/Excel: new companies (créations, immatriculations), insolvencies (procédures collectives: redressement judiciaire, liquidation judiciaire, sauvegarde), business sales (ventes et cessions de fonds de commerce), strike-offs (radiations), amendments (modifications) and annual-accounts filings (dépôts des comptes).

Filter by family, département, publication date, a SIREN watchlist or keywords, and optionally join each company with SIRENE data (NAF code and label, employee range, company category, head-office address) from the official Recherche d'entreprises API.

The data comes from the official BODACC open-data feed published by the DILA (Direction de l'information légale et administrative) under the Licence Ouverte. No scraping of web pages, no login, no API key.

$1 per 1,000 announcements. You pay only for announcements saved.

FAQ

How fresh is the data? BODACC is published about five times a week. The DILA feed has each bulletin on its publication morning, and each run reads the latest bulletins directly.

How far back can I search? The current calendar year (the DILA "année courante" feed). A 7-day run reads about 5 bulletins and takes a few seconds; a 30-day run across all families reads ~90 files and takes about 40 seconds.

What is the difference between "créations" and "immatriculations"? Créations are new businesses or new establishments; immatriculations are registrations of existing businesses (for example after a transfer from another registry). Both are useful for new-company lead lists.

Why do some announcements have no SIREN? A few insolvency notices concern persons who are not registered in the RCS (craftsmen registered elsewhere or unregistered persons); those have siren: null, so SIRENE enrichment is skipped.

What if the SIRENE API is down? The BODACC data is still returned; the SIRENE columns stay empty and the run summary shows sireneUnavailable: true.

Personal data. BODACC announcements about sole traders contain names of natural persons. Reuse is allowed under the Licence Ouverte but remains subject to the GDPR and the French loi Informatique et Libertés (see the DILA's personal-data notice). Use excludeIndividuals if you only need companies, and use the data for legitimate purposes. Civil announcements (personal recovery, inheritances) are not part of the open data and are not included.
