France Company Registry Scraper

Search the France company registry by business name, SIREN or SIRET and export company records with officers, VAT numbers and published revenue, ready for B2B prospecting, KYC checks and market analysis. The source combines public Sirene and RNE information from the official Recherche d’entreprises service. Results include readable legal forms and NAF descriptions alongside the original codes, so a spreadsheet of French companies needs no manual lookup tables.

One run can check a single SIREN, enrich a list of thousands of identifiers, or build a prospect list such as every active company with a given NAF code in one department. Each company arrives as one structured JSON row: identity, status, headquarters, industry, employee band, VAT number and the latest revenue and net income the register publishes.

What the France company registry provides

Each company record identifies a French legal entity through its nine-digit SIREN. The record includes its published name, administrative status, incorporation date, headquarters, industry classifications and available VAT numbers. When the register publishes financial information, revenue and net income appear together with their reference year. Figures are integer euro amounts rather than formatted currency strings.

Officers are included when requested and when their name and role are available. Both individual officers and corporate officers can appear. Individual officers may have a birth year and birth month. Corporate officers may have their own SIREN, distinct from the company they represent. These records are linked to company results through registry_id and are available in the run’s OFFICERS key-value record.

Input

Provide query for a company name, address, officer name or exact identifier. A SIREN contains nine digits and identifies a company; a SIRET contains fourteen digits and identifies an establishment. For several identifiers, use the sirens array. The array accepts SIREN and SIRET values, removes spaces and dots and ignores repeated identifiers. Supply either a query or an identifier list.

This input retrieves the company behind Decathlon’s published SIREN:

{"query":"306138900","max_results":1,"include_officers":true}

You can also search without a text query by providing a filter. naf_codes accepts official NAF rev.2 activity codes, as an array or comma-separated text. postal_codes, departments and regions narrow the search by establishment location. legal_forms accepts INSEE legal-form codes. employee_ranges selects published employee bands, while company_category accepts PME, ETI or GE.

Set status to active, closed or any; the default is any. Officer name filters use officer_last_name and officer_first_name. Financial filters use revenue_min, revenue_max, net_income_min and net_income_max, expressed in euros. Negative net income is allowed. A published employee band describes a range and does not imply an exact staff count.

max_results defaults to 100 and limits unique companies rather than officer records. The maximum is 10,000 accessible company results. include_officers defaults to true. Setting it to false produces no officer records. page_size controls source page size, up to 25; its ordinary default is 25. Large requests continue automatically within the actor’s available run time. For direct API use, submit the returned next_cursor with the original search and options to continue collection.

Output

The default dataset contains one row per company. Core fields include source, fetched_at, jurisdiction, registry_id, name, status, legal_form, incorporation_date, dissolution_date, address, industry_codes and vat_number. French identifiers and codes remain available through siren, head_office_siret, legal_form_code and naf_code. Every record identifies its jurisdiction as FR. VAT numbers are returned the same way for name searches, filter searches and SIREN or SIRET lookups: vat_number holds the published number and vat_numbers lists every published number.

Financial fields include revenue, net_income, financial_year and the complete available finances list. The newest published year determines the convenience fields. Missing financial information is null, and a published zero amount remains zero. Address coordinates are numbers when available. matched_establishment identifies the exact matching establishment for a SIRET search, while address continues to describe the company headquarters.

The OFFICERS record is a JSON array with registry_id, company_name, name, role, officer_type and available birth information. officers_count on each company counts its delivered officers. Officers without a published role are excluded because a role cannot be inferred. They are not replaced with an invented title. The MISSING-SIRENS record lists identifiers that returned no company. The OUTPUT record contains delivery counts, collection warnings and charging information.

Decathlon has 16 published officers in this example. Each one is a separate entry in the OFFICERS record with the same registry_id, the company name, the officer's name, a role such as Administrateur or Directeur général délégué, officer_type (person or company) and, for individuals, the published birth year and month.

Pricing

The prepared billing configuration counts one company event per delivered company. Officers and available financial figures are included in that company result. Officer records do not create additional company events, and a search returning no companies creates no company events. Consult the actor’s current Pricing tab for its published event price; the code does not set a marketplace price.

Users without a paid Apify plan receive at most ten companies in a run. The cap counts company dataset rows, and the associated officers remain available for those delivered companies. Missing identifiers do not consume a company result. Users with a paid plan can request the larger configured volume, subject to the source’s accessible result limit and the actor’s run time.

Use cases for French company data

• B2B lead generation in France. Filter by NAF code, department or postal code, keep only active companies, and add revenue thresholds to target firms of the right size. The employee band and PME/ETI/GE category help separate small businesses from large groups.
• KYC and supplier checks. Look up a SIREN or SIRET from an invoice or contract and confirm the legal name, legal form, active or dissolved status, registered address, VAT number and current officers in one row.
• CRM enrichment. Feed a column of SIREN numbers through sirens and receive one company row per identifier. Identifiers that do not exist land in MISSING-SIRENS instead of producing empty rows, so the merge back into your CRM stays clean.
• Market analysis. Count companies per activity, region or size band, compare published revenue across competitors, or follow new incorporations in a sector by sorting on incorporation_date.
• Officer research. Search by officer last name and first name to find the companies a person directs, with their role in each.

Comparison with other French company data sources

	This actor	Official register website	Paid French company databases	Other Apify actors
Source	Public Sirene and RNE data	Same public data	Public data plus own additions	Varies: public API or third-party sites
Bulk export	Up to 10,000 companies per search, JSON, CSV or Excel	One company per page	Usually by subscription	Varies
Officers	Included in the same run	Shown per company	Usually included	Usually included
Revenue and net income	Included when published	Shown per company	Included, sometimes with more years	Not always
Filters	NAF, postal code, department, region, legal form, employee band, category, status, officer name, revenue, net income	Similar filters, interactive only	Extensive	Varies per actor

The official website is the best choice for checking one company by hand. Paid databases add data that is not in the public register, such as contact details or credit scores. This actor fills the gap between them: the public register in bulk, with officers and financials in the same run and one predictable price per company.

Source coverage and interpretation

The register serves publicly diffusible company data. It does not supply every French business or every possible due-diligence field. This actor does not add websites, contact details, ultimate beneficial owners, capital or an LEI when the source does not publish them. Closure dates can remain empty even for dissolved companies. Revenue describes the latest year available in the source and should always be interpreted together with financial_year.

Original administrative status A becomes active; C becomes dissolved. Published legal forms and NAF codes receive descriptions from the source’s official label tables. Unknown codes retain their original value without an invented description. NACE classifications are derived from the corresponding NAF rev.2 class. The NAF 2025 code is preserved separately when available.

FAQ

Can I look up a SIRET instead of a SIREN?

Yes. Enter the fourteen-digit SIRET as query or as an entry in sirens. The result remains a company record, with the matching establishment identified separately when the source provides it. Multiple establishments of the same company produce one company result.

Are officers charged separately?

No. The configured company event counts delivered companies. Officers are linked records in OFFICERS and do not increase the number of charged company results. They are available only where the public register supplies a name and a role.

Does every company have revenue and a VAT number?

No. Coverage depends on the available public records. Missing finance values remain null, and missing VAT numbers are omitted from the single-number field. The full vat_numbers list is empty when the source supplies none. VAT numbers come only from the published records; they are never calculated from a SIREN.

What happens when the source limits requests?

Temporary source limits are retried within the collection budget. If collection stops after some companies were found, available results are retained and the run reports the interruption. Direct API users can resume with the returned cursor and the original options. Unknown identifiers are reported as missing instead of creating empty company rows.

Is this the same data as the official French company register?

Yes. The data comes from the official Recherche d’entreprises service, which publishes the Sirene register of INSEE and the national company register (RNE). Companies whose owners opted out of public diffusion are not served by the source and therefore cannot appear.

Can I use it as a Pappers or Societe.com alternative?

For the public register data, yes: SIREN, SIRET, legal form, NAF code, address, officers, VAT number and published revenue are all in the output, in bulk and as structured JSON. Documents such as Kbis extracts, full annual accounts, beneficial owners and credit scores are not part of the public source and are not included.

How do I build a list of companies in one sector and region?

Leave query empty and combine filters, for example naf_codes set to ["56.10A"], departments set to ["75"] and status set to active. Raise max_results to the number of companies you need. Add revenue_min to keep only companies above a published revenue threshold.

Can I export the results to Excel or CSV?

Yes. The company dataset can be downloaded from the Apify console or API as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML or HTML. The OFFICERS record is a JSON array that you can join to the companies on registry_id.
