France Company Data (SIREN/SIRET) — Official Open Data

Look up French companies by name, SIREN or SIRET in the official open API of the French administration (company directory built on INSEE Sirene and INPI RNE). Get clean, English-named fields ready for your CRM or spreadsheet — with the source, licence and last-update date on every row.

What you get (one row per company)

Field	Meaning
query	the query that found this company
status	ok, or for queries without a company: no_results, invalid_query, unavailable
siren, headOfficeSiret	company and head-office identifiers
name, legalName, acronym	full name, registered name, acronym
diffusion	full, or partial when the person asked the source to hide some data (those fields are empty)
active	true active, false ceased; closureDate when ceased
creationDate	date of creation
legalFormCode	INSEE legal category code (e.g. 5710 = SAS)
nafCode, nafSection	activity code (NAF/APE) and section
companyCategory, companyCategoryYear	PME, ETI or GE
employeeRangeCode, employeeRange, employeeRangeYear	INSEE headcount range, with a readable label

headOffice	address, postalCode, city, cityCode, department, region, latitude, longitude, diffusion
matchingEstablishments	the establishments that matched (up to 10): the one you asked for with a SIRET, or those in the postal code or department you filtered on — siret, isHeadOffice, active, address, postalCode, city, nafCode, diffusion
lastFinancials	latest published year: year, revenue, netIncome (when available)
vatNumber, vatNumbers	active French intra-EU VAT number(s) as listed by the source (DGFiP). Empty when the source lists none: the Actor never computes one
source, sourceUrl, sourceLicense, sourceUpdatedAt	where the data comes from, its licence and last update
retrievedAt	when this Actor read it

A run summary (queries, companies returned, charged events) is saved as SUMMARY — Output tab, Run summary.

Input

Field	Default
queries	—	names, SIREN (9 digits) or SIRET (14 digits), one per line. SIREN/SIRET are exact lookups
maxResultsPerQuery	10	companies per name search (max 100)
postalCode, department, nafCode, activeOnly	—	filters for name searches; several values separated by commas (e.g. 75009,75010; NAF as 62.01Z or 6201Z). Postal code and department match companies with at least one establishment there: see matchingEstablishments (the head office may be elsewhere). An invalid filter stops the run before any request: nothing is charged
includeSoleProprietorships	true	turn off to exclude sole proprietorships, whose name is the owner's name

Pricing

Pay per event: $0.005 per company returned ($5 per 1,000). Not charged: queries with no result, invalid queries, source unavailable, and a company already returned earlier in the same run. The Actor respects your spending limit: it never asks for more companies than you can pay for.

Source and licence

Data: Annuaire des Entreprises / API Recherche d'entreprises, operated by the French interministerial digital directorate (DINUM), from INSEE (Sirene) and INPI (RNE). Licence: Licence Ouverte / Open Licence 2.0 (Etalab) — commercial reuse allowed with attribution of the source and the date of last update, which every row carries.

This Actor is not an official service of the French administration and is not affiliated with DINUM, INSEE or INPI. Non-diffusible companies are not in the source. When a person has opposed public diffusion, the source hides the protected data (such as the name or the address): those fields are empty here and diffusion is partial.

Privacy

• No personal data of directors (names, birth dates) is requested from the source or returned.
• Sole proprietorships are named after their owner, a natural person: their rows are personal data. The Actor reads the source at every run, so each row reflects the person's diffusion choice at retrievedAt. If you keep these rows, keep them up to date and use them lawfully (GDPR; French rules on Sirene data, art. R123-232 of the Code de commerce). You can exclude sole proprietorships.
• Nothing you submit is written to the logs — no queries, no names, no numbers: only counts.

Limits, stated plainly

• The source allows 7 requests per second per IP and 30 per second per network, shared with other users of the same cloud. The Actor stays at 5 per second and waits when asked to; if the source keeps refusing, the query is marked unavailable and not charged — run it again later.
• A SIREN/SIRET lookup ignores filters (source behaviour). A SIRET lookup returns the company that owns the establishment; the establishment itself is in matchingEstablishments.
• Name search also finds similar names: it can return companies and sole proprietorships whose name only resembles your query. For one exact company, use its SIREN or SIRET.
• Names need at least 3 characters: shorter queries are marked invalid_query and not charged.
• Financial data exists only for companies that publish it.
