## 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 List – SIRENE B2B Leads, SIREN & SIRET

**Build lists of French companies from the official register**, filtered by activity (NAF/APE code), area, headcount, size category, revenue and labels. Every row carries the SIREN, head-office SIRET, VAT number, legal form, NAF code, headcount band, head-office address and latest published revenue.

**Also known as:** French companies list, SIRENE export, base SIRENE, INSEE company data, SIRET search by NAF code, France B2B leads, French lead lists. 🇫🇷 *liste d'entreprises françaises, fichier d'entreprises par code NAF / APE, export base SIRENE, annuaire des entreprises, prospection B2B, entreprises RGE ou Qualiopi*.

Data comes from the French government's **API Recherche d'entreprises** (INSEE Sirene + INPI RNE, DINUM), published under **Licence Ouverte 2.0**. No scraping, no login, no API key, no personal data.

### Filters

| Filter | Example |
|---|---|
| `nafCodes` | `62.01Z` (software), `43.22B` (plumbing/heating), `70.22Z` (consulting); `6201Z` works too |
| `sections` | `F` (construction), `J` (information & communication)… |
| `departements`, `regions`, `postalCodes`, `communes` | `54`, `2A`, `974` · `44` (Grand Est) · `88000` · `54395` |
| `geoMatch` | `head_office` (default: company headquartered in the area) or `any_establishment` |
| `employeeBands` | INSEE bands `11` (10-19), `12` (20-49), `21` (50-99)… |
| `companyCategories` | `PME`, `ETI`, `GE` |
| `legalForms` | `5710` SAS, `5720` SASU, `5499` SARL… |
| `labels` | `rge`, `qualiopi`, `bio`, `ess`, `societe_mission`, `egapro`… |
| `minRevenue` / `maxRevenue`, `minNetIncome` / `maxNetIncome` | latest published accounts |
| `createdAfter` / `createdBefore` | `2015-01-01` |
| `keywords` | free text on names and addresses |
| `activeOnly` (default on), `excludeSoleProprietors` (default on), `sortBySize`, `maxResults` | |

```json
{ "nafCodes": ["62.01Z", "62.02A"], "departements": ["54"], "employeeBands": ["11", "12", "21"], "maxResults": 500 }
```

### Output (real local run, 19 Oct 2026: IT services, Meurthe-et-Moselle, 10-99 staff)

| SIREN | Legal name | NAF | Headcount | City | Revenue | VAT |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 833037161 | APREX | 62.01Z | 20-49 | NANCY | – | FR03833037161 |
| 508349990 | ARKETEAM | 62.01Z | 50-99 | VANDŒUVRE-LÈS-NANCY | 8 092 004 € | FR74508349990 |

Other test runs: RGE-certified construction companies in Épinal (24 companies), consulting PMEs headquartered in Île-de-France with revenue ≥ 1 M€ created since 2015 (25 companies).

Each row also has `headOffice` (address, postal code, city, commune, département, region, GPS), `legalForm`, `companyCategory`, `creationDate`, `establishments`, `labels`, `collectiveAgreements`, `annuaireUrl` (official company page) and, optionally, `matchingEstablishments` (SIRET + address of establishments in the area).

### Pricing (pay per event)

- **$0.002 per company delivered** (`company`, $2 per 1,000).
- Rows dropped by the head-office or creation-date filters are **free**. Errors are free.
- Set a *maximum cost per run*: the Actor stops before going over it.

### Use it from AI agents (MCP)

```json
{ "mcpServers": { "apify": { "url": "https://mcp.apify.com?tools=ostrata/france-company-list" } } }
```

*"List 50 SaaS companies (NAF 58.29C) headquartered in Lyon with 20-99 employees."*

### Limitations

- The API returns at most 10,000 results per query. Without an area filter, the Actor continues département by département; with an area filter, narrow it (e.g. postal codes) to go further.
- Revenue and net income exist only for companies that publish accounts; `0` can mean accounts filed as confidential.
- Companies that opted out of public diffusion are not in the API.
- The API allows 7 requests per second per IP; the Actor stays below that (about 6 per second) and backs off on 429.

### Privacy

No directors, shareholders, emails or phone numbers are returned. **Sole traders (entrepreneurs individuels) are excluded by default.** If you include them, their name, street address and coordinates are removed (they are personal data); only the SIREN, activity, city and dates remain.

## MCP server setup

```json

        }
    }
}
```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
