## 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 Company Intelligence

Extract comprehensive French company data from **official government sources** (INSEE, INPI, BODACC). No API keys needed — all data comes from free, authoritative French government APIs.

### What it does

Search, lookup, or batch-enrich French companies with:

- **Identity**: SIREN, SIRET, legal name, legal form, creation date, status
- **Activity**: NAF/APE code, activity description, employee range
- **Location**: Full address, postal code, commune, department, region, GPS coordinates
- **Financials**: Revenue (chiffre d'affaires), net result, fiscal year
- **Directors**: Names, roles, types (person or legal entity)
- **Establishments**: All locations with addresses and status
- **Legal Announcements**: BODACC — creations, modifications, sales, collective procedures
- **Certifications**: Qualiopi, RGE, Bio, FINESS, EGAPRO, Convention Collective

### Search Modes

#### 1. Search by Name/Filters
Search by company name with optional filters: postal code, department, NAF code, employee range, legal form, active/closed status.

#### 2. Single SIREN Lookup
Direct lookup by 9-digit SIREN number. Fastest mode for known companies.

#### 3. Batch SIREN Lookup
Bulk enrichment — paste multiple SIREN numbers (comma, newline, or space separated). Ideal for CRM enrichment workflows.

### Data Sources

| Source | Data | Cost |
|--------|------|------|
| recherche-entreprises.api.gouv.fr | Company identity, financials, directors, establishments | Free |
| BODACC (bodacc-datadila.opendatasoft.com) | Legal announcements | Free |

All sources are **official French government APIs** — data is authoritative and regularly updated.

### Use Cases

- **B2B Lead Generation**: Find companies by sector, location, and size
- **CRM Enrichment**: Batch-enrich your company database with SIREN lookups
- **Due Diligence**: Full company profile with financials, directors, and legal history
- **Compliance**: Verify company status, legal form, certifications
- **Market Research**: Analyze companies in a specific sector or region
- **M&A Research**: Corporate structure, financials, and legal announcements
