French Geo Lookup — Communes, Departements & Regions (INSEE) — Pro

Free Apify actor. Look up French communes, departements and regions by name, postal code, INSEE code — or reverse by GPS coordinates. Recherche geographique francaise (INSEE): communes, departements, regions.

Source: official geo.api.gouv.fr (Etalab / DINUM), INSEE Code Officiel Geographique. No API key. Open Licence 2.0.

Levels & modes

  • commune — search (name / postal / INSEE) or reverse (GPS). Returns INSEE code, postal codes, department, region, population, surface, EPCI, SIREN and the commune centroid. Filter by department, region, minPopulation.
  • departement — by name or code -> name, code, region code.
  • region — by name or code -> name, code.

Runtime (developer-grade)

Bounded parallelism (maxConcurrency), global maxItems cap, de-duplication by level+code, resilient HTTP client (timeout, backoff+jitter, 429/5xx), optional Apify proxy, structured logs, and a run summary in the key-value store (OUTPUT).

Output (commune, trimmed)

{
"status": "found", "level": "commune",
"nom": "Bordeaux", "code_insee": "33063",
"codes_postaux": ["33000", "33100", "33200", "33300", "33800"],
"code_departement": "33", "population": 267991, "surface_ha": 4936,
"centre_longitude": -0.58, "centre_latitude": 44.84
}

Every entry yields an item with status: found, not_found, error.

Use cases

  • Convert postal codes to INSEE codes (or the reverse) in bulk.
  • Reverse-geocode GPS points to their commune.
  • Enrich data with department, region, population and surface.
  • Build reference tables for French geographic pipelines.

Limitations & fair use

  • A postal code can map to several communes; all matches are returned.
  • Use maxConcurrency responsibly on this shared public API.
