French Drinking Water Quality (Hub'Eau) — Free

Get official drinking water quality analyses for any French commune (qualité de l'eau potable). This free actor queries the French government Hub'Eau API (Ministry of Health / SISE-Eaux data) and returns the latest laboratory analyses for the communes you specify: parameters (nitrates, pesticides, bacteriology, lead…), measured results, units, regulatory limits and official conformity conclusions.

This actor is free — you only pay your own Apify platform usage.

Input

Field	Type	Description
communeCodes	array	INSEE commune codes (5 chars, e.g. 75056 = Paris). Required.
maxAnalyses	integer	Max recent analyses per commune (default 20, max 500).

Output

One dataset item per analysis result:

{
  "status": "found",
  "communeCode": "75056",
  "communeName": "PARIS",
  "parameter": "Nitrates (en NO3)",
  "result": "24",
  "numericResult": 24,
  "unit": "mg/L",
  "qualityLimit": "50 mg/L",
  "samplingDate": "2026-06-01T10:00:00Z",
  "conformityConclusion": "Eau d'alimentation conforme aux exigences de qualité",
  "distributor": "EAU DE PARIS"
}

status is found, not_found (no analyses for this commune) or error (with an error message). The actor never crashes on an invalid input — it pushes an error item and continues.

Use cases

• Check tap water safety (nitrates, pesticides, lead, bacteriology) before moving to a commune.
• Monitor water conformity across a list of communes for journalism or research.
• Enrich real-estate or municipal datasets with water-quality signals.
• Build alerts when a commune's water becomes non-conform.

Limitations & fair use

• Data source: Hub'Eau — Qualité de l'eau potable, French open data (Licence Ouverte / Open Licence Etalab).
• The actor applies a polite delay between requests. Please keep input lists reasonable.
• Data freshness depends on official publication by health authorities.
