## 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.
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 KYC — SIRENE, SIREN/SIRET, Officers & BODACC
**Turn a company name, SIREN or SIRET into a complete, structured KYC profile — straight from official French government sources.** A **Pappers alternative** with no subscription: pay per company, insolvency red flags included. One call merges the SIRENE registry, RNE/INPI data (officers, financials) and BODACC legal announcements (insolvency procedures, account filings, radiations) into a single clean JSON record.
Built for **sales & lead enrichment, KYC/KYB onboarding, risk monitoring, and AI agents** (works out of the box via API and MCP).
### Why this actor
- ✅ **Official data only** — SIRENE (INSEE), RNE (INPI), BODACC (DILA). No scraping, no stale caches, no legal grey zone. GDPR-friendly by construction.
- ✅ **One call, whole picture** — identity, VAT number, legal form, NAF code, headquarters + geo, workforce bracket, officers, 5 years of revenue & net income, compliance labels (Qualiopi, RGE, ESS, bio…), and legal-announcement red flags.
- ✅ **KYC red flags computed for you** — `hasCollectiveProcedure` (redressement, liquidation, sauvegarde), `isRadiated`, `lastAccountsFilingDate`.
- ✅ **Bulk-friendly** — feed it a list of thousands of names or SIREN numbers.
- ✅ **Fair pricing** — you are only charged for companies actually found and enriched. Misses are free.
### Use cases
- **Lead enrichment** — turn a CRM list of company names into SIREN, VAT, size, revenue and decision-maker names.
- **KYC / KYB onboarding** — verify a supplier or customer exists, is active, and has no insolvency procedure on record.
- **Risk monitoring** — re-run your portfolio weekly and alert on new collective procedures.
- **Market research** — legal form, workforce, financials and location for any segment.
- **AI agents** — plug it into Claude, Cursor or any MCP client and ask *"is this company safe to sign with?"*.
### Input
```json
{
"queries": ["Decathlon", "552032534", "38076811300017"],
"maxResultsPerQuery": 1,
"includeBodacc": true
}
````
`queries` accepts company names, 9-digit SIREN or 14-digit SIRET numbers — mix them freely.

### Companion actors — French open-data suite
- [**French & EU Public Tenders Monitor**](https://apify.com/tagadanar/french-public-tenders) — track public procurement (BOAMP + TED) by keyword/CPV/department; prospect the same companies' public-sector deals.
- [**French Real Estate Sales (DVF)**](https://apify.com/tagadanar/french-real-estate-dvf) — official recorded property sale prices from the land registry.
### Pricing
Pay per event — no subscription, no minimum:
| Event | When |
|---|---|
| Actor start | Once per run |
| Company enriched | Per company found and returned (misses are free) |
| BODACC checked | Per company, only when `includeBodacc` is enabled |
Typical cost: enriching 1,000 known companies with full legal-announcement history costs a few dollars — compare with per-seat subscriptions of commercial providers.
### FAQ
**Where does the data come from?** Exclusively from official French open-data APIs: `recherche-entreprises.api.gouv.fr` (SIRENE/INSEE + RNE/INPI) and the BODACC open-data portal (DILA). Data is fetched live at run time — never cached or resold.
**Is this legal / GDPR-compliant?** Yes. These are public registries published by the French state specifically for reuse. Officer names are limited to what the law makes public (no personal addresses; birth dates truncated to month).
**What about companies with confidentiality flags?** Companies with `statut_diffusion` restrictions return only the fields the registry publishes.
**Can I search by criteria (NAF, region, size)?** This actor is optimized for lookup/enrichment of identified companies. Criteria-based prospecting is on the roadmap — open an issue if you need it.
**Does it work with AI agents?** Yes — like every Apify actor it is exposed via REST API and **MCP**, so Claude, Cursor & co. can call it as a tool.

# Actor input Schema
## `queries` (type: `array`):
One entry per company to look up. Accepts a company name (e.g. Decathlon), a 9-digit SIREN (e.g. 306138900) or a 14-digit SIRET. Bulk lists are fine.
## `maxResultsPerQuery` (type: `integer`):
How many matching companies to return per query. Keep 1 for KYC/enrichment of a known company; raise it for exploratory name searches.
## `includeBodacc` (type: `boolean`):
Fetch official legal announcements (Bulletin officiel des annonces civiles et commerciales): insolvency / collective procedures, account filings, modifications, radiations. Adds one charged event per company.
## `bodaccMaxAnnouncements` (type: `integer`):
Most recent announcements to include in the output (summary flags are always computed from these).
## `onlyActiveCompanies` (type: `boolean`):
Exclude administratively ceased companies from name-search results.
## `pushNotFoundRecords` (type: `boolean`):
When enabled, queries with no match produce a record with found: false so bulk pipelines can track misses. Not-found records are never charged.
## Actor input object example
```json
{
"queries": [
"Decathlon",
"552032534"
