Cost estimate

This actor uses the official French government registry API and requires minimal compute resources. Expect approximately 0.005 compute units per 1,000 results. At standard Apify pricing, that is roughly $0.02 per 1,000 company records.

Using residential proxies increases cost slightly but improves reliability for large-volume queries.

Tips for best results

• Search by SIREN for exact company lookups. The 9-digit SIREN number is the unique French company identifier.
• Use broad search terms like industry keywords to discover multiple companies.
• Combine with other actors — use this actor's SIREN output as input for deeper company analysis tools.

Frequently Asked Questions

What data does the Infogreffe Scraper return?

Each company record includes: company name, SIREN and SIRET numbers, legal form (SAS, SARL, SA, etc.), registered address, registration date, NAF/APE activity code, directors and officers (up to 5 plus statutory auditors), and administrative status (active/closed).

Can I search by SIREN number?

Yes. Enter a 9-digit SIREN number in the sirenNumber field for exact company lookups. This is the most reliable way to find a specific company.

Is this data from an official source?

Yes. All data comes from the official French government company registry open data (RNE / Sirene) — the same source registry that powers Infogreffe.fr. Data is publicly available and updated daily.

Do I need a login or cookies?

No. This actor accesses publicly available French government open data. No login, no cookies, no authentication required.

How many companies can I scrape?

Set maxResults to control the number of results. The API returns up to 10,000 records per query. For very large datasets, use specific search terms to filter results.

Limitations

• Share capital (capital) and registration court (greffe) are not exposed by the public registry API — these fields are always null.
• Director lists include up to 5 registered officers plus statutory auditors; very large boards may be truncated.
• Some very recently registered companies might not appear immediately.
• A single search query returns at most 10,000 records; use specific search terms to narrow large result sets.
• Data is sourced from publicly available records and may change without notice.
