❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Is it legal to scrape the Annuaire des Entreprises? This Actor reads only the official open data the French government publishes under an open licence (Licence Ouverte / Etalab) via its public API — no login or circumvention involved. As always, credit the source (Annuaire des Entreprises / data.gouv.fr) and follow the applicable terms and law for your specific use case, e.g. GDPR when handling director names.

Does France have a public company API? Yes. The French government publishes the Annuaire des Entreprises via a fully open, free JSON API (recherche-entreprises.api.gouv.fr) built on the official SIRENE database. This Actor is a friendly, filterable export layer on top of it: set filters in a form, run, and download a clean dataset with pagination handled and nested fields flattened — no key, no login, no signup.

Do I need an API key or a login? No. There is no registry account, login or API key required — only an Apify account. The recherche-entreprises API is open and captcha-free.

Does it include director / officer names? Yes — every row lists the company's dirigeants (directors / officers) from the registry: president, manager (gérant), CEO (directeur général) and any corporate officers, each with their role (qualité), straight from the official open data.

Does it include company emails and phone numbers? No. The open SIREN registry does not publish company email or phone numbers, so those fields are not available here. What you get is the official company identity (SIREN/SIRET), full head-office address, activity, legal form, size and directors — a strong base you can enrich with contact-finder tools.

How much data can I get? The recherche-entreprises API hard-caps deep pagination at 10,000 records per query. For larger segments, split your run by department, postcode or activity code and combine the datasets. Set maxResults to control the cap per run.

Is this a SIRENE / recherche-entreprises API alternative?

Yes — it's the easiest recherche-entreprises API alternative for non-developers: no code, automatic pagination, nested JSON flattened to columns, de-duped by SIREN, and direct export to CSV / Excel / JSON. It gives you the same official SIRENE-backed data without writing any integration.

Can I get French company data without an API or login?

Yes. No registry account, login or API key is needed — only an Apify account. The Actor reads publicly available registry data over direct HTTP and returns it as a structured dataset.

How do I export French company data to CSV or Excel?

Run the Actor, then export the resulting dataset as CSV, JSON, Excel or XML from the Apify console, or pull it via the Apify API. Every run writes one row per company, ready for spreadsheets or your CRM.

How do I get a list of restaurants in Paris with SIREN numbers?

Set naf to 56.10A (restaurants) and departement to 75 (Paris), then run. You get every active Paris restaurant with SIREN, SIRET, address and directors, ready to export to CSV.

Head office only?

Each row describes the company and its head office (siège); individual secondary establishments (établissements) are summarised as counts (establishments / openEstablishments), not listed separately.
