France Company Data Scraper 🇫🇷

Export clean, structured French company data — profile, HQ address, VAT number, industry and directors — straight from France's official register. No API key required.

Every company in France is in the national register, published through the government's open Recherche d'entreprises service (INSEE Sirene + RNE). This Actor searches it by keyword, NAF/APE industry code, department, postal code, size category and status — or looks up companies by SIREN — and returns a rich record per company, including directors and VAT number, in a single request.

Official open government API. No key, no login, no scraping — just clean public register data.

Notes & limitations

• Uses the official Recherche d'entreprises open API — no key needed.
• Each search can return up to ~10,000 results (API cap); narrow with filters for larger populations.
• Directors' dates of birth are published as year (and month) only, by design.
• This is factual public register data.
