Search data.gouv.fr, the official French government open data portal (40,000+ datasets), directly from Apify. For each matching dataset you get clean metadata: title, publishing organization, description, license, update frequency, last update date, tags, resource count and file formats (CSV, JSON, SHP, API...), quality score and popularity metrics (views, followers, reuses). Recherchez des jeux de donnees sur le portail open data officiel francais.
This actor is free — you only pay your own Apify platform usage.

Use cases
- Data teams: discover official French datasets (and their formats/APIs) for a project.
- Monitor when key public datasets are updated (schedule + filter on
lastUpdate). - Civic tech & journalism: inventory what data exists on a topic before an investigation.
- Feed an internal data catalog with official metadata and licenses.
Limitations & fair use
Uses the public data.gouv.fr API v1 (Etalab, open licence) with polite delays and pagination (20/page, max 100 per query). Full-text relevance is handled by the portal itself.
