France Company Scraper - Societe.com | Donnees d'entreprises francaises

Extract French company data from Societe.com - directors, financials, shareholders, subsidiaries, and corporate network for any French company - as structured JSON, in bulk. Societe.com aggregates official INSEE, INPI, and BODACC data into France's most comprehensive free company platform, and there is no public API for it.

No login, no API key, nothing to configure - a company name, SIREN, or director name in, clean JSON out.

What data do you get?

One rich record per company:

{
  "companyName": "TOTALENERGIES SE",
  "siren": "542051180",
  "siret": "54205118000066",
  "legalForm": "SA a conseil d'administration",
  "nafCode": "70.10Z",
  "nafDescription": "Activites des sieges sociaux",
  "address": "2 Place Jean Millier, La Defense 6",
  "postalCode": "92400",
  "city": "Courbevoie",
  "capital": "6 596 521 497,50 EUR",
  "creationDate": "1924-03-24",
  "status": "Active",
  "employeeCount": "100 000+",
  "directors": [
    { "name": "POUYANNE Patrick", "role": "President-Directeur General", "appointmentDate": "2015-10-29" },
    { "name": "DESMAREST Thierry", "role": "Ancien President du Conseil", "appointmentDate": "2010-05-21", "endDate": "2015-12-18" }
  ],
  "sourceUrl": "https://www.societe.com/societe/totalenergies-se-542051180.html"
}

The officer history is the point. directors returns the full mandate timeline, not just the current board - 75 records for Danone, 68 for TotalEnergies, with Ancien ... roles and date ranges back to 2003. Neither SIRENE nor recherche-entreprises.api.gouv.fr reconstructs that, which is what this actor is for.

Fields we do not reliably return. revenue, netResult, shareholders, subsidiaries and brands are extracted where the page exposes them, but in practice they are frequently empty - a 2026-07-27 check returned revenue: "0" and shareholders: [] for both Danone and TotalEnergies. Do not build on them, and do not choose this actor for financials.

Field	Description
companyName	Official name (denomination sociale)
siren / siret	9-digit SIREN and 14-digit SIRET (siege social)
legalForm	SARL, SAS, SA, SCI, EURL, etc.
nafCode / nafDescription	NAF/APE activity code and description
address / postalCode / city	Registered address (siege social)
capital / creationDate / status	Share capital, creation date, and status (Active, En liquidation, Radiee, ...)
employeeCount	Workforce band
directors	Full mandate history - name, role, appointmentDate, endDate. Includes former officers (Ancien ...), not just the current board
sourceUrl	Societe.com company page
revenue / netResult	Attempted, frequently empty - see the note above. Do not build on these
shareholders / subsidiaries / brands	Attempted, frequently empty - see the note above

How much does it cost?

Pay per event - you are not charged for Apify platform usage, only a start fee plus a fixed price per company record (this is a rich, multi-page profile).

Volume	Cost
Start cost	$0.025
Per company record	$0.04
~100 records	~$4.03
~1,000 records	~$40.03

No subscription, no minimum. For a cheaper identity-only lookup, disable includeFinancials and includeDirectors.

Is it legal, and where does the data come from?

Data comes from Societe.com, which aggregates official public sources: INSEE (company registry), INPI (trademarks/IP), and BODACC (legal announcements). The data is publicly accessible; director names are public information filed with the French registries (RCS). You are responsible for your own GDPR / French data-protection compliance when processing it.

How do I use it?

Click Try it and paste this input:

{ "searchQuery": "Total Energies", "maxResults": 10 }

For an exact company, use the SIREN ({ "sirenNumbers": ["542051180"] }) - name search returns partial matches, so a SIREN avoids namesakes. Search by director ({ "managerName": "Dupont Jean" }), or do a fast identity-only lookup by turning off financials/directors.

Input options

Parameter	Type	Required	Default	Description
searchQuery	string	No	-	Company name (partial match)
sirenNumbers	string[]	No	-	9-digit SIREN numbers for exact lookup
managerName	string	No	-	Search by director/manager name
includeFinancials	boolean	No	true	Include revenue / net result when available
includeDirectors	boolean	No	true	Include the board (names, roles, dates)
maxResults	integer	No	50	Max search results to process
maxConcurrency	integer	No	5	Companies scraped in parallel (1-5)

At least one of searchQuery, sirenNumbers, or managerName must be provided.

What you can do with it

• B2B prospecting - build lead lists by industry (NAF), size, or region, enriched with director names.
• Due diligence - verify identity, legal status, financial health, and management before a deal.
• Competitive & M&A research - monitor competitor financials, director changes, and subsidiary networks.
• KYC / KYB - verify a French company's registration and active status.

FAQ

Is it legal? Societe.com aggregates public INSEE/INPI/BODACC data; director names are public RCS filings. The data is publicly accessible; you remain responsible for GDPR / French data-protection compliance.

Do I need an account, API key, or proxy? No - none of them. Just an Apify account.

A name search returned a small namesake company instead of the big one - why? Name search returns Societe.com's own result order, which can rank a small namesake above a large group. Use the SIREN (sirenNumbers) for an exact, unambiguous lookup.

How deep are the financials? Simplified figures (revenue, net result) where Societe.com publishes them - not full multi-year balance sheets.

What export formats are supported? JSON, CSV, Excel, or XML, or read live via the API.

Limitations

• Name search returns partial matches in Societe.com's own order; use sirenNumbers for an exact company.
• Only simplified financials (revenue, net result) are extracted, and only when published - not full balance sheets.
• Data freshness depends on when INSEE/INPI/BODACC publish updates; some fields can lag.
• The board list includes current and former mandates; a person with several roles appears once per role.

Common combinations: company register -> UBO -> insolvency/debtors -> adverse media is the standard KYB/onboarding chain.

For Poland that whole chain is one call: Poland KYB Risk Check takes a NIP or KRS and returns identity, beneficial owners and insolvency - screened against the company and every beneficial owner - as a single verdict. The component registry lookups it runs bill as usual, plus a small orchestration fee.
