The most complete France lawyers scraper available. It returns every field the official CNB avocat directory exposes for each of the roughly 80,000 French lawyers, including email, phone, firm, SIREN, specializations and languages, plus two optional AI add-ons, and gives you name, city, postcode, barreau, spécialité and language filters to target exactly the lawyers you need.

What it does

The actor reads the official CNB (Conseil National des Barreaux) avocat directory, applies the filters you pass as input, and writes one normalized record per lawyer to the run's dataset. Each record carries the lawyer's name and civility, their bar (barreau), the office address split into street, postcode and city, direct contact details (email, phone, fax), the law firm with its legal form and SIREN/SIRET, official specializations, spoken languages and bar entry date. Missing source values are returned as null.

Coverage is the roughly 80,000 lawyers registered across the 164 French bars. Two optional AI add-ons write an outreach-ready profile (withAiProfileSummary) and a B2B lead score with tier and rationale (withAiLeadScore); both are billed only on usable output and require a paid Apify plan.

Quickstart

Open the actor, paste this into the input, and press Run. It returns up to 3 lawyers matching Paris.

{
  "cities": ["Paris"],
  "maxLawyers": 3
}

Every input field is optional. Filters are accent-insensitive and match on contains, so cities: ["Paris"] also matches office cities that contain the term. Combine barreaux, postalCodes, specializations and languages to narrow, and set specialistsOnly to keep only certified specialists.

Input reference

Run via API and CLI

Start a run and wait for it to finish, then read the dataset. Replace <TOKEN> with your Apify API token.

Run synchronously and get dataset items in one call:

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/scrapers_lat~france-lawyers-cnb-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=<TOKEN>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"barreaux":["PARIS"],"specializations":["Droit du travail"],"maxLawyers":25}'

Start a run asynchronously:

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/scrapers_lat~france-lawyers-cnb-scraper/runs?token=<TOKEN>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"cities":["BORDEAUX"],"languages":["Espagnol"],"maxLawyers":100}'

Apify CLI:

apify call scrapers_lat/france-lawyers-cnb-scraper \
  --input '{"postalCodes":["75"],"specialistsOnly":true}'

Fetch results

Every run writes to a dataset. Fetch items as JSON, CSV, or Excel by changing format:

# JSON
curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/<DATASET_ID>/items?token=<TOKEN>&clean=true&format=json"

# CSV
curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/<DATASET_ID>/items?token=<TOKEN>&clean=true&format=csv"

# Paginate large datasets
curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/<DATASET_ID>/items?token=<TOKEN>&offset=1000&limit=1000"

<DATASET_ID> is returned as defaultDatasetId in the run object. Use offset and limit to page through large result sets. clean=true drops empty and internal fields.

Billing and limits

• Pay per result. You are charged per lawyer record returned (result event). See the pricing tab for the current per-result price.
• AI add-ons. withAiProfileSummary and withAiLeadScore are billed separately per successfully processed record and require a paid Apify plan. They are skipped for free users.
• No charge on failure. If a run errors or matches nothing, the actor writes a single item with an error field and does not charge for it. Empty runs cost nothing.
• Spend cap respected. Set maxTotalChargeUsd on the run; once reached, the actor stops emitting and charging further billable results.
• Free Apify plans are capped at 10 lawyers per run. Upgrade for higher maxLawyers.

FAQ and troubleshooting

A run returned 0 records. Why? The filter combination matched nothing in the directory. Loosen filters (for example drop the specialization or widen the postcode), or check the spelling. Filters are accent-insensitive and match on contains. Zero-result runs are not charged.

Why did a city filter return a lawyer in a different town? Filters match on contains, so a city term can match an office city that contains it (for example Paris matches SEYSSINET PARISET). Add a postalCodes prefix for tighter geographic targeting.

How do I get only certified specialists? Set specialistsOnly to true, or pass one or more specializations. The isSpecialist flag and specializations array mark certified lawyers.

Why is fax or siret null on some lawyers? Not every lawyer lists a fax, and not every firm exposes a SIRET. Missing source values are returned as null, never invented.

What do the AI fields do? withAiProfileSummary writes an outreach-ready profile, and withAiLeadScore scores each lawyer as a B2B lead with a tier and rationale. Both are optional, billed on usable output, and require a paid plan.
