They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. - **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use). - **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`. - **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`. - **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`. - **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## French Company Scraper — SIRENE Data, Executives, Finances & B2B Leads Extract **complete French company data** from the official government registry — **SIREN/SIRET, NAF activity, legal form, company size, executives, published revenue, establishments and labels** — and turn **BODACC legal announcements** (new registrations, insolvencies, business sales) into **fresh, lead‑scored B2B prospects**. Two clean, keyless French government data sources behind one rich, LLM‑ready dataset. No login, no cookies, no browser — fast JSON extraction. ### Why this French company scraper? Most "French company" scrapers return a thin firmographic stub and stop there. This actor merges the full **recherche‑entreprises / SIRENE** record with the **BODACC** legal gazette, so you get both *who the company is* **and** *what just happened to it* — plus a lead score on every row. | Data | Typical scrapers | This actor | |---|---|---| | SIREN / SIRET, NAF/APE, legal form, status | ✅ | ✅ | | Company size band + employer flag | partial | ✅ | | **Executives / directors** (name, role, birth year) | ❌ | ✅ | | **Published finances** (revenue + net result per year) | ❌ | ✅ | | All establishments (SIRET, address, geo) | partial | ✅ | | Labels & certifications (RGE, Qualiopi, ESS, Bio, mission‑driven…) | ❌ | ✅ | | **BODACC new registrations** (fresh company leads) | ❌ | ✅ | | **BODACC insolvencies & business sales** | ❌ | ✅ | | Filter by activity, department, region, size, legal form, label | partial | ✅ | | Lead score (0–100) per record | ❌ | ✅ | | **Only‑new monitoring** for daily fresh leads | ❌ | ✅ | ### Use cases - **B2B lead generation** — target French companies by **activity (NAF), department/region, size, legal form and certification**, score them, and reach the decision‑maker (executives are included). New BODACC registrations are the freshest, highest‑intent leads on the market — newly created companies need banking, insurance, accounting, software, equipment and marketing. - **Sales prospecting & territory planning** — build clean prospect lists for any French market segment (web agencies in Paris, RGE‑certified builders in Lyon, Qualiopi training orgs nationwide…). - **Distressed / M\&A intelligence** — track `collective` (insolvency) and `vente` (sale) announcements to find distressed assets, acquisition targets and at‑risk customers. - **Risk, KYC & compliance** — verify SIREN/SIRET, legal form, status, executives and registry history before onboarding a French supplier or client. - **Market & competitive research** — size a sector by company count, category (PME/ETI/GE), revenue and geography. - **CRM enrichment** — resolve a list of SIRENs/SIRETs into full firmographics, executives and finances. ### How to use 1.

It uses [pay-per-event](https://docs.apify.com/platform/actors/publishing/monetize/pay-per-event) pricing and [limited permissions](https://docs.apify.com/platform/actors/development/permissions), so it qualifies for Apify's agentic-payment standards: - **[x402](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/x402)** — an open, HTTP-native payment protocol. Agents pay per run in USDC on the Base network directly through the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp) — no account, no API key. - **[Skyfire](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/skyfire)** — agent-to-service payments for fully autonomous AI-agent workflows. Building an AI agent, MCP tool, or autonomous data pipeline? This scraper is ready to plug in and pay as it goes. ### More scrapers from scrapesage Build a complete **company‑intelligence & B2B lead stack**: - **[UK Companies House Scraper](https://apify.com/scrapesage/companies-house-scraper)** — UK company data, officers and filings. - **[US Business Formation Scraper](https://apify.com/scrapesage/us-business-formation-scraper)** — newly registered US businesses & LLCs from state registries. - **[SEC EDGAR Scraper](https://apify.com/scrapesage/sec-edgar-scraper)** — US public‑company filings and XBRL financials. - **[ImportYeti Scraper](https://apify.com/scrapesage/importyeti-scraper)** — US import/customs records, suppliers and B2B leads. - **[Made-in-China Scraper](https://apify.com/scrapesage/made-in-china-scraper)** — Chinese suppliers, products and B2B leads. - **[TradeIndia Scraper](https://apify.com/scrapesage/tradeindia-scraper)** — Indian suppliers and manufacturer leads. - **[FMCSA Trucking Scraper](https://apify.com/scrapesage/fmcsa-trucking-scraper)** — US carriers with phone, email and fleet data. - **[Website Contact Scraper](https://apify.com/scrapesage/website-contact-scraper)** — emails, phones and socials from any domain list (enrich these companies). - **[Eventbrite Scraper](https://apify.com/scrapesage/eventbrite-scraper)** — events plus organizer contact leads. ### Tips - **Go beyond 10,000**: each query/filter returns up to 10,000 rows. To exhaust a big segment, split runs by **activity code**, **department**, or **date window** (`publishedAfter`/`publishedBefore`). - **Freshest leads**: use `legalAnnouncements` + `announcementTypes: ["creation"]` + a recent `publishedAfter` — that's the live feed of brand‑new French companies. - **Daily pipeline**: combine [Schedules](https://docs.apify.com/platform/schedules) with `monitorMode` to receive only new records each day. - **Cost control**: turn off `includeEstablishments`/`includeFinances` for leaner records, and only enable `enrichWithFirmographics` when you need NAF/size/executives on announcements. ### FAQ **Where does the data come from?** Two official French open‑data sources: the government **recherche‑entreprises / SIRENE** registry (run by DINUM/INSEE) for firmographics, and **BODACC** (the official commercial gazette, published by DILA) for legal announcements. Both are public and keyless. **Does it return contact emails and phone numbers?** The public French registry does **not** publish company emails/phone numbers, so this actor focuses on firmographics, executives, finances and registry events. To add emails/phones, pipe the company websites into the **[Website Contact Scraper](https://apify.com/scrapesage/website-contact-scraper)**. **How do I get only newly created companies?** Use `legalAnnouncements` mode with `announcementTypes: ["creation"]` and a recent `publishedAfter` date — BODACC publishes every new registration, newest first. **Can I look up a specific company?** Yes — put one or more SIREN (9 digits) or SIRET (14 digits) in `sirens`, or type a SIREN/SIRET in `query`. **Can I export to Google Sheets, CSV, or Excel?** Yes — one click in the dataset view, or automatically on every run via the [Google Drive integration](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/drive). **A field is null — why?** Some companies genuinely don't publish finances, a size band, or executives (very small entities). Fields are `null` only when the data doesn't exist, not because the scraper skipped them. **Is scraping this data legal?** It collects publicly available open data published by the French government. You are responsible for using personal data (e.g. director names) in compliance with applicable laws (GDPR/CNIL). ### Need help?

'Companies' searches the official SIRENE / recherche-entreprises registry (firmographics, executives, finances). 'Legal announcements' pulls BODACC notices — new registrations (fresh leads), insolvencies and business sales — newest first. ## `query` (type: `string`): Free-text search. In Companies mode: company name, brand, manager name, SIREN or SIRET. In Legal announcements mode: full-text on BODACC notices. Leave empty to rely on filters only. ## `sirens` (type: `array`): Look up specific companies directly by 9-digit SIREN or 14-digit SIRET. Overrides the search query when provided. ## `activityCodes` (type: `array`): Filter companies by activity. Use a full NAF/APE code like 62.01Z (computer programming) or 10.71C (bakery), or a single section letter A–U (e.g. J = Information & communication, F = Construction). ## `departments` (type: `array`): Filter by French department code (75, 13, 2A, 971…) or a full 5-digit postal code (75001). Also used in Legal announcements mode (department only). ## `regions` (type: `array`): Filter by INSEE region code (e.g. 11 = Île-de-France, 84 = Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, 93 = PACA). ## `companySize` (type: `array`): Keep only companies in these employee bands. ## `companyCategory` (type: `array`): INSEE company category: PME (small/medium incl. micro), ETI (mid-cap), GE (large enterprise). ## `legalForms` (type: `array`): Keep only these legal forms (mapped to SIRENE nature-juridique codes). ## `legalFormCodes` (type: `array`): Power-user passthrough: exact INSEE nature-juridique codes (e.g. 5710 = SAS, 5499 = SARL, 1000 = entrepreneur individuel). ## `labels` (type: `array`): Keep only companies carrying these official labels / certifications. ## `activeOnly` (type: `boolean`): Drop companies whose administrative status is closed/ceased. ## `isEmployer` (type: `boolean`): Keep only companies flagged as employers (have payroll). ## `announcementTypes` (type: `array`): Which BODACC notice families to return in Legal announcements mode. 'creation' = brand-new company registrations (the best fresh leads); 'collective' = insolvency / collective proceedings (distressed leads); 'vente' = business sales/transfers. ## `publishedAfter` (type: `string`): Only BODACC notices published on/after this date — the key to fresh, high-intent leads. Example: 2026-06-01. ## `publishedBefore` (type: `string`): Only BODACC notices published on/before this date. ## `enrichWithFirmographics` (type: `boolean`): For each BODACC notice, look up the company in the SIRENE registry and attach its NAF activity, size, executives, revenue and labels. Adds one API call per unique company. ## `includeExecutives` (type: `boolean`): Attach the company's directors and officers (name, role, birth year). ## `includeEstablishments` (type: `boolean`): Attach the company's matching establishments (SIRET, address, activity). ## `includeFinances` (type: `boolean`): Attach published yearly finances (revenue / net result) when available. ## `maxResults` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of records to emit in this run. Each search query / announcement filter returns up to 10,000 rows — split by activity, department or date to go deeper. ## `deduplicateResults` (type: `boolean`): Emit each company (by SIREN) / announcement (by id) only once per run. ## `monitorMode` (type: `boolean`): Remember records returned in previous runs and emit ONLY new ones. Pairs with Apify Schedules to capture fresh registrations, insolvencies or filings daily. ## `monitorStoreName` (type: `string`): Named key-value store holding the 'already seen' ids for monitoring mode. Use a different name per tracked scope. ## `maxConcurrency` (type: `integer`): Maximum parallel API requests (SIREN lookups / enrichment). ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Proxy settings. The French government open-data APIs are clean, so the default Apify proxy is plenty. ## Actor input object example ```json { "mode": "companies", "query": "boulangerie", "sirens": [], "activityCodes": [], "departments": [], "regions": [], "companySize": [], "companyCategory": [], "legalForms": [], "legalFormCodes": [], "labels": [], "activeOnly": false, "isEmployer": false, "announcementTypes": [ "creation" ], "enrichWithFirmographics": false, "includeExecutives": true, "includeEstablishments": true, "includeFinances": true, "maxResults": 200, "deduplicateResults": true, "monitorMode": false, "monitorStoreName": "french-company-monitor", "maxConcurrency": 4, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true } } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `results` (type: `string`): All scraped records in the default dataset. # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
