## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

**Official French company data (SIREN, address, activity, size, directors, revenue, VAT) by name or filters, as clean lead rows.**

> **Honest coverage & billing:** The public API is limited to about 7 requests per second; very large pulls take a few minutes. You pay only for results actually delivered, and a built-in cost guard stops the run at your max-charge limit.

🌍 Built for teams in the **US, China and Singapore**, and anyone who needs this data in a spreadsheet or pipeline.

### What is France Company Search?

France publishes its company register as open data: every company's SIREN, head office, activity code, headcount band, directors and, for many, revenue and net income. **France Company Search** queries the official government search API so you can build targeted French B2B lead lists, by trade, postcode, department, size or revenue, or enrich a list of SIREN numbers, without scraping and without a paid data provider.

### What does it do?

- **Search by anything**: company name, SIREN or SIRET, director name or activity words
- **Filters**: postal code, department, region, NAF/APE code, employee band, SME/ETI/GE category, active only, minimum revenue
- **Identity**: SIREN, head-office SIRET, legal name, acronym, legal form code, creation and closure dates
- **Activity and size**: NAF code, sector, headcount band and year, number of establishments
- **Location**: full head-office address, postcode, city, department, region, latitude and longitude
- **Directors, revenue & VAT (on by default)**: directors with role and birth year, latest revenue and net income, intra-EU VAT number, labels such as ESS, RGE or organic
- **Up to 10,000 companies per query**

### Why choose us over cheaper scrapers?

- **Honest output**: limits are documented, missing data is labeled, never invented
- **Clean, consistent schema** ready for Excel, Sheets, BI tools or an LLM
- **No account risk**: no logins, no cookies, no API keys
- **Pay per result** with a built-in cost guard; no subscription, failed items are never charged
- **Fast and light**: no residential proxy, so runs finish in seconds and stay cheap
- **Maintained by IntelScrape** and fixed fast when the source changes

### Who is it for?

- **B2B prospecting in France**: every bakery in Lyon, every software company with 50+ staff in Ile-de-France
- **KYB and onboarding**: verify a SIREN, status and directors
- **CRM enrichment**: add VAT, headcount and revenue to French accounts
- **Market sizing** by NAF code and region
- **Recruiting and partnerships**: find growing mid-size companies
- **Pair with Sanctions Screening** to check directors

### How to use it

#### In Apify Console (no code)

1. Click **Try for free** / **Start**. The form is prefilled with a working example.
2. Change the inputs (see examples below).
3. Click **Start**, then export the results as **JSON, CSV, Excel, XML or HTML**, or open them in Google Sheets.

    print(item)
```

#### With AI agents (MCP)

Add Apify's MCP server (`https://mcp.apify.com`) or the [IntelScrape MCP Server](https://apify.com/intelscrape/skip--trace) to Claude Desktop, Cursor, ChatGPT or any MCP client, then ask in plain language, e.g. *"Run intelscrape/france-company-search with the default input and summarise the results."*

### Pricing (pay per event)

| Event | When it is charged | Price |
|---|---|---|
| **Actor start** | once per run | $0.005 |
| **Company** | per company row | $0.002 |
| **Directors & finances** | per company with directors, revenue and VAT added (on by default; turn off to skip) | $0.001 |

#### Cost examples

| Run | Cost |
|---|---|
| Default run: 50 bakeries | $0.155 |
| 5,000 companies with directors | $15.005 |
| 10,000 companies, identity only | $20.005 |

Platform usage is included in these prices. Set **Max charge per run** in the run options to cap spend; the actor stops cleanly when the limit is reached and keeps everything collected so far.

### Tips for best results

- Use NAF codes for precise trade targeting; activity words also work but are broader.
- Combine department and sizeBand to build territory lists.
- Revenue is only present when the company publishes its accounts.
- Pair with a website contact scraper to add emails and phones.
- Location filters match any establishment; matchedSite shows the local branch when the head office is elsewhere.

### FAQ

#### Where does the data come from?

The official French government company search API (INSEE SIRENE and INPI RNE), updated daily.

#### Are emails or phones included?

No, the register does not publish them.

#### Why is revenue empty for some companies?

Many small companies file confidential accounts.

#### Is personal data included?

Only what the official register publishes for directors (name, role, birth month/year). Use it lawfully under GDPR.

#### Can I search by SIREN?

Yes, put SIREN or SIRET numbers in queries.

#### Do I need a key?

No.

### Honest limits

- The public API is limited to about 7 requests per second; very large pulls take a few minutes.
- Companies that opted out of public diffusion show limited data.
- Results per query are capped at 10,000.
- Revenue reflects the latest published year only.

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config.
