How France Pappers + BODACC + INPI Scraper Works

1. Input a query — company name, SIREN, NAF code, or director name — and choose how many records to fetch.
2. The actor searches Recherche Entreprises, which aggregates Sirene, RNE, and financial data across all 26M French companies.
3. For each matching company, it optionally fetches BODACC announcements filtered to your lookback window and SIREN.
4. If you supply a Pappers API key, it enriches each record with EBITDA, total assets, and beneficial owner data.

FAQ

What data sources does this scraper use?

It combines four sources. Recherche Entreprises is the primary source — it aggregates INSEE Sirene and INPI RNE into a single free API. BODACC is the official Journal of Legal Announcements, published by the Prime Minister's office. Pappers is an optional private enrichment layer requiring a paid API key.

Do I need any API keys?

No. The primary data (Sirene, RNE, BODACC) comes from free government APIs that require no registration. The Pappers integration is optional and only activates when you provide a key.

What is the employees_range field?

It is the INSEE tranche d'effectif code. Code 21 means 50-99 employees, code 51 means 10,000 or more. The full table is available from INSEE.

How do I find companies by industry sector?

Use mode: by_naf_code with a NAF/APE code. The actor accepts both dot format (62.01Z) and compact format (6201Z).

Can I use this for KYC screening?

The BODACC data covers collective proceedings (insolvency, liquidation, safeguard procedures) and is the official record for French legal announcements. The has_insolvency field is a fast screening flag. For full KYC compliance, supplement with pappers_beneficial_owners via a Pappers key.

How current is the data?

Recherche Entreprises syncs daily from Sirene and RNE. BODACC publishes new announcements every business day. There is no cached or stale layer.

Why Use France Pappers + BODACC + INPI Scraper?

• Four sources, one schema — no stitching together recherche-entreprises-scraper, bodacc-announcements-scraper, and pappers-sirene-scraper on your own
• Government data, not a scrape — primary sources are official public APIs; no HTML parsing, no rate-limit battles
• BODACC insolvency flags — has_insolvency and has_acquisition as top-level booleans make screening trivial
• Revenue without a Pappers key — Recherche Entreprises includes annual revenue from RNE filings, covering most large and mid-cap companies
• KYC-ready output schema — flat records, consistent field names, array fields as formatted strings
