## Pricing

from $1.70 / 1,000 companies

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## 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`).

# README

## France Company Search: SIREN, VAT, Revenue & Directors

Find French companies and get clean, structured company data in seconds: SIREN and SIRET numbers, legal name, legal form, NAF (APE) activity code, VAT number, head-office or local address with GPS coordinates, headcount band, latest revenue and net income, number of establishments, directors' names and roles, and certification labels such as RGE or Qualiopi.

Search by keyword, company name or director, filter by NAF code, department, postal code, region, size, revenue, legal form or label — or paste a list of SIREN/SIRET numbers to enrich a spreadsheet. Everything comes from the French government's official, free "API Recherche d'entreprises" (the API behind annuaire-entreprises.data.gouv.fr), which combines the INSEE Sirene register and the national companies register (RNE). No login, no browser, no proxies, no API key.

### What you can use it for

- **B2B lead lists for France**: every active plumber (NAF 43.22A) in the Rhône, every software company (62.01Z) in Paris with 10–49 employees, every RGE-certified installer in a region
- **Enriching a CRM or spreadsheet**: turn a column of SIREN or SIRET numbers into VAT numbers, addresses, NAF codes, headcount and revenue
- **KYC and supplier checks**: confirm a company exists, is still active, its legal form, its directors and its intra-EU VAT number
- **Market sizing**: count companies by activity, area and size band; compare revenue across a sector
- **Local prospecting**: switch to "one row per establishment" to get each matching shop, restaurant or branch in a postal code, with its trade name (enseigne)

### Why this one

- **$2 per 1,000 companies** — half of the cheapest comparable French company actor, and a quarter of others, with no monthly rental
- **Official source, always current**: the government API is updated daily from INSEE and the RNE
- **Real filters on the server side**: NAF code, section, department, postal code, commune, region, headcount band, SME/mid-size/large, legal form, revenue and net-income ranges, RGE, Qualiopi, organic, ESS, associations, sole traders
- **Company or establishment rows**: one row per company with its head office, or one row per matching establishment in your area
- **Local address even in company mode**: when you filter by area, each company row also carries the address of its first matching local establishment
- **Privacy-minded**: directors are returned as name + role only; birth dates are never output

### Input

| Field | What it does |
|---|---|
| Search text | Name, brand, keyword, address words or director's name |
| SIREN / SIRET numbers | Direct lookups (9 or 14 digits, spaces allowed) |
| NAF / APE activity codes | e.g. `56.10A`, `62.01Z`, `43.22A` (or `5610A`) |
| Activity sections | Broad sections A–U, e.g. `F` construction |
| Departments / postal codes / commune codes / regions | Where the company has an establishment |
| Headcount bands | INSEE bands from 0 to 10,000+ |
| Company category | PME, ETI, GE |
| Legal form codes | e.g. `5710` SAS, `5499` SARL, `1000` sole trader |
| Status | Active (default), closed, or both |
| Min / max revenue, min / max net income | Latest published accounts, in EUR |
| Created on or after | Company creation date filter |
| Director last name | Companies where a director has this name |
| Label filters | Employers only, RGE, Qualiopi, training organisations, organic, ESS, associations, sole traders |
| One row per | Company (head office) or matching establishment |
| Include directors | Names and roles of directors and auditors |
| Biggest first | Sort by number of establishments |
| Max results | Hard cap — you never pay for more |

Example input:

```json
{
  "nafCodes": ["43.22A"],
  "departments": ["69"],
  "employeeRanges": ["11", "12"],
  "onlyRge": true,
  "maxResults": 500
}
```

### Output

One row per company (or establishment):

```json
{
  "siren": "403052111",
  "name": "BOULANGERIES PAUL",
  "status": "active",
  "legalForm": "SAS",
  "nafCode": "10.71A",
  "sectionLabel": "Manufacturing",
  "companyCategory": "ETI",
  "employeeRange": "500-999",
  "createdAt": "1995-12-07",
  "vatNumber": "FR32403052111",
  "revenue": 73611839,
  "netIncome": -2197350,
  "financialYear": "2024",
  "establishmentsOpen": 124,
  "siret": "40305211102616",

  "longitude": 3.117,
  "matchingAddress": "5 RUE DU HAVRE 75008 PARIS",
  "directors": [{"name": "Maxime HOLDER", "role": "Directeur Général", "type": "person"}],
  "labels": ["bilan_ges"],
  "url": "https://annuaire-entreprises.data.gouv.fr/entreprise/403052111"
}
```

Other fields include legal name, acronym, NAF 2025 code, legal-form code, headcount year, closing date, revenue history by year, trade names, establishment NAF and headcount, head-office flag and collective agreements (IDCC). Download as JSON, CSV, Excel or XML, or read the dataset through the Apify API.

### How much does it cost?

You pay **$0.002 per row** ($2 per 1,000) plus a one-time $0.001 per run. There is no browser, so platform compute is tiny.

Worked examples:

1. **Enrich 1,000 SIREN numbers** from a spreadsheet: 1,000 × $0.002 + $0.001 ≈ **$2.00**
2. **Every RGE plumber in one department** (about 300 companies): **$0.60**
3. **All restaurants in one Paris postal code**, one row per establishment (about 500 rows): **$1.00**

Rows removed by your filters are never charged, and "Max results" caps every run.

### FAQ

**Where does the data come from?** From the official "API Recherche d'entreprises" run by the French administration (DINUM), which publishes INSEE Sirene and RNE data under the Licence Ouverte (open licence). The actor respects the API's published rate limit.

**Is this legal?** Yes, the data is open public data published by the French state for reuse. Companies and people who asked INSEE not to be published (non-diffusible) are not returned by the API. If you use director names for marketing, you are responsible for complying with GDPR and French rules on direct prospecting (for example, offering an opt-out).

**Why is revenue empty for many companies?** Only companies that publish their accounts have revenue and net income; small companies often file confidentially.

**Why is the head-office address outside my department?** In company mode the main address is the head office, and the area filter matches any establishment. Use `matchingAddress`, or switch "One row per" to "Matching establishment".

**How many results can one search return?** The API serves the first 10,000 companies of a search. Split big searches by department or NAF code.

**Can I search by SIRET?** Yes, a 14-digit SIRET returns the company with that exact establishment's address.

### Tips

- NAF codes are the fastest way to build a sector list; combine with departments and headcount bands
- Turn off directors for lighter CSV exports
- Schedule a weekly run with "Created on or after" to catch new companies in your sector

### Integrations

Send results to Google Sheets, HubSpot, Airtable, Slack, a webhook, Zapier or Make with Apify integrations, or call the actor from your own code with the Apify API and client libraries.

### Changelog

- **0.1** (October 2026) — first release: search and SIREN/SIRET lookup, 25+ filters, company or establishment rows, revenue history, directors, labels.
