France Company Search – SIRENE Data, NAF Codes, Directors & VAT (Annuaire des Entreprises)

Search and export French companies from the official public register (INSEE SIRENE + RNE), through the government's open Recherche d'entreprises API, the source behind annuaire-entreprises.data.gouv.fr. You can search by name or keyword, by SIREN/SIRET, or with filters such as NAF/APE activity code, département, postal code, region, company size, head count, revenue and legal form. Each company comes back as one clean row:

• Identity: SIREN, head-office SIRET, name, legal name, acronym, trade names, status (active or closed), creation and closing dates.
• Activity: NAF code with its label (for example 62.01Z – Programmation informatique), section, and the new NAF 2025 code.
• Legal form with its label (SAS, SARL, EURL, SA, SCI, association…), size category (PME, ETI, GE), head-count range and number of establishments.
• Head-office address (street, postal code, city, INSEE commune code, département, region, GPS coordinates).
• Finances: latest revenue and net income plus their history, when the company has published its accounts.
• Directors (dirigeants) with name, role and birth month, plus auditors, and a ready-made mainDirector.
• Intra-EU VAT number, collective agreements (IDCC), and labels: ESS, Qualiopi, RGE, organic, training organisation, société à mission.

$1.50 per 1,000 companies. That is about 5× cheaper than the most-used French company scraper on the Store. Invalid and not-found numbers are free.

What can I use it for?

• B2B lead lists: for example all web agencies (NAF 73.11Z, 62.01Z) in the Rhône with 10+ employees, with directors' names and the head-office address.
• KYC and supplier checks: paste a list of SIREN/SIRET numbers and get status, legal form, VAT number, directors and revenue.
• CRM enrichment: add NAF code, head count, revenue and VAT number to French accounts.
• Market sizing: count and map companies by activity, size and département. GPS coordinates are included.
• New business monitoring: schedule a search and use createdAt to spot newly registered companies in your sector.

FAQ

Where does the data come from? From the French government's open API Recherche d'entreprises (recherche-entreprises.api.gouv.fr, operated by DINUM). It combines INSEE's SIRENE register, the national company register (RNE/INPI), published accounts and official labels. The data is published under the Licence Ouverte / Etalab 2.0, which allows commercial reuse with attribution. Source: INSEE, INPI, DINUM – Annuaire des Entreprises.

Is there personal data? Directors' names and birth month and year are published by the French state in the RNE. People who asked INSEE not to be listed (non-diffusible) are masked by the source and show as [NON-DIFFUSIBLE]. If you process the data in the EU, you are the data controller. Use it for B2B purposes with a legitimate interest, and honour opt-out requests.

No phone numbers or emails? The official register does not include them. To add them, pass the company websites to our Website Contact Finder.

How many results can I get? The API returns up to 10,000 companies per search. With autoSplitByDepartement on, larger searches (for example the whole NAF 62.01Z) are repeated per département and deduplicated, so you can export tens of thousands of companies.

How fast is it? About 25 companies per request at 2 requests per second (the API allows 7 per second per IP), so roughly 3,000 companies per minute.
