## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. 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.

# README

## France Company Registry (SIRENE) — French Company Data API

> Independent tool, not affiliated with INSEE or data.gouv.fr.

Extract **French company data from the official SIRENE registry** (recherche-entreprises.api.gouv.fr) and turn France's national register into a **targeted B2B list**. Search by name or keyword, filter by postal code or department. Get SIREN, legal nature, NAF activity code, employee range, establishment counts, registered address, directors and the full establishment list. Official API — no scraping, no API key, no login.

### Why SIRENE API?

- 🎯 **Build prospect lists** across any French industry — filterable down to the department.
- 👥 **Directors included** — dirigeants on each record, so you know who to contact.
- 🏢 **Establishment lists** — up to 25 establishments per company for multi-site targeting.
- ✅ **Verify counterparties** — SIREN, legal nature and activity straight from the national register.
- 📋 **Enrich your CRM** — flat, one-record-per-company JSON ready for import.

### Use cases

Lead generation in France · KYC/counterparty verification · territory research by department · multi-site account mapping · CRM enrichment

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
