🇫🇷 France Annuaire Entreprises Scraper

🚀 Pull rich company records from the French national business registry (SIRENE) in seconds.

🕒 Last updated: 2026-05-06 · 📊 42 fields per record · 30M+ active French companies · 101 départements · directors, capital, NAF codes, geo coordinates, status

The France Annuaire Entreprises Scraper searches the official French national business registry (Annuaire des entreprises, powered by SIRENE) and returns structured records for any company registered in France. SIRENE is the canonical reference maintained by INSEE and is updated daily as companies form, change ownership, or close.

The scraper covers all 30 million active companies and self-employed individuals across 101 départements, every NAF/APE activity code, and every legal form. Filters run server-side, so a single run can isolate active bakeries in Paris, every consulting SAS in Lyon, or all registered farms in Brittany.

🎯 Target Audience	💡 Primary Use Cases
B2B sales, market research, compliance teams, fintech KYC, journalists, gov-tech analysts	Lead lists by NAF code, KYC and ownership checks, sector benchmarking, regional market sizing, news investigations on French firms

📋 What the France Annuaire Entreprises Scraper does

Five filtering workflows in a single run:

• 🔍 Free-text search. Match by company name, SIREN, SIRET, or director name across the full registry.
• 🏷️ NAF/APE filter. Restrict by INSEE activity code, e.g. 47.11D for hypermarkets or 62.01Z for software publishers.
• 📍 Département filter. Scope to one of 101 French départements by 2-digit code (75 for Paris, 13 for Bouches-du-Rhône).
• ⚖️ Legal form filter. Filter by INSEE legal-nature code (SAS, SARL, SA, micro-entrepreneur, association).
• 🟢 Status filter. Active only, closed only, or both.

💡 Why it matters: clean, server-side filtering removes the parser-and-pagination work from your team and keeps your dataset fresh on every run.
