## 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

## France New Company Registrations — B2B Leads, Directors & Business Data

Get the freshest company registrations in France. Each run delivers a clean, structured dataset of newly incorporated businesses — including company name, registration number, legal form, NAF activity code, address, and optionally company leaders and workforce data.

No setup needed. Just run and get results.

---

### What can you do with this actor?

- Browse the **latest companies registered in France** (past days, weeks or months)
- Filter by **registration date range**
- Optionally include **company leaders** (directors, managers)
- Optionally include **employee size** data
- Use results directly for **B2B prospecting**, **market research**, or **competitive intelligence**

---

### How to use it

#### 1. Set the number of companies

Use **Number of companies** to control how many results you want (default: 10, max: 1000).

#### 2. Filter by registration date (optional)

Set **Created from** and/or **Created to** to restrict results to a specific time window.  
Leave both empty to get the most recently registered companies.

#### 3. Choose enrichment options

| Option | Default | What it adds |
|---|---|---|
| **Include company leaders** | ✅ On | Director names, roles, and appointment dates |
| **Include employee data** | ✅ On | Employee size range (e.g. 1-2, 10-19, 50-99) |
| **Include raw data** | ❌ Off | Raw source data for advanced use |

---
