## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
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.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## Infogreffe Scraper

Scrape French company registry data — the same RCS (Registre du Commerce et des Societes) records published on Infogreffe.fr. Search by company name or SIREN number and extract structured company records including legal form, directors and officers, addresses, and business activity codes.

### How to scrape Infogreffe data

1. Go to this actor's page on Apify Store.
2. Click "Start" to open the input configuration.
3. Enter a company name in **Search Query** (e.g., "Carrefour") or a 9-digit **SIREN Number**.
4. Set **Max Results** to control how many records to return.
5. Click "Start" and wait for the run to finish.
6. Download your data as JSON, CSV, or Excel from the Dataset tab.

### Why use this actor?

Infogreffe is the official source for French company registration data, managed by the clerks of the Commercial Courts. This actor gives you programmatic access to search and extract company records without manual website browsing or account registration.

Use cases:
- **Market research** — Find all companies matching a name or industry in France
- **Due diligence** — Look up company details by SIREN number before doing business
- **Lead generation** — Build lists of French companies with addresses and activity codes
- **Competitive analysis** — Identify competitors registered under specific NAF/APE codes
- **Data enrichment** — Add official registration data to your existing company databases

No login or cookies required. All data is sourced from publicly available records.

### Input

| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|-------|------|----------|-------------|
| `searchQuery` | String | No | Company name or keyword to search (default: "Total Energies") |
| `sirenNumber` | String | No | 9-digit SIREN number for exact company lookup |
| `maxResults` | Integer | No | Maximum results to return (default: 100) |
| `proxyConfiguration` | Object | No | Proxy settings (FR residential recommended) |

If both `searchQuery` and `sirenNumber` are provided, the SIREN number takes priority. If neither is provided, the actor defaults to searching "Total Energies" as a demonstration.

### Output

Each result contains:

| Field | Type | Example |
|-------|------|---------|
| `companyName` | String | `"TOTALENERGIES SE"` |
| `siren` | String | `"542051180"` |
| `siret` | String | `"54205118000066"` |
| `legalForm` | String | `"Société européenne"` |
| `capital` | String/null | Not exposed by the registry search API (always `null`) |
| `address` | String | `"2 PLACE JEAN MILLIER 92400 COURBEVOIE"` |
| `postalCode` | String | `"92400"` |
| `city` | String | `"COURBEVOIE"` |
| `registrationDate` | String | `"1954-01-01"` |
| `activity` | String | `"70.10Z"` (NAF/APE code) |
| `directors` | Array | Up to 5+ officers: `{ name, role, type }` |
| `companyStatus` | String | `"active"` or `"closed"` |
| `greffe` | String/null | Not exposed by the registry search API (always `null`) |
| `url` | String | Infogreffe company page URL |
| `scrapedAt` | String | ISO 8601 timestamp |

### Example output

```json
{
    "companyName": "TOTALENERGIES SE",
    "siren": "542051180",
    "siret": "54205118000066",
    "legalForm": "Société européenne",
    "capital": null,
    "address": "2 PLACE JEAN MILLIER 92400 COURBEVOIE",

    ],
    "companyStatus": "active",
    "greffe": null,
    "url": "https://www.infogreffe.fr/entreprise/542051180",
    "scrapedAt": "2026-06-10T17:45:02.758Z"
}

### 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.
