French RGE Certified Companies Finder (ADEME)

What it does

This Actor searches the official ADEME open-data register of RGE-certified companies (Reconnu Garant de l'Environnement — the French state certification required for energy-renovation work that qualifies for public subsidies such as MaPrimeRénov'). Give it a postal code, a SIRET, a SIREN, a city or a company name and it returns every matching entreprise RGE with contact details, certifications, certifying body and validity dates. Useful for French renovation lead generation, contractor vetting, RGE certification checks, and B2B enrichment of the rénovation énergétique market (isolation, chauffage, pompe à chaleur, photovoltaïque).

Data comes straight from the ADEME open-data API (~162 000 records), so it never breaks the way HTML scrapers do.

Input

Field	Type	Required	Description
queries	array of strings	yes	One search per entry. 5 digits → postal code, 14 digits → SIRET, 9 digits → SIREN, otherwise full-text (company name / city).
domain	string	no	Restrict to one RGE work domain (Isolation, Chauffage, Rénovation globale…). Default Any.
maxResultsPerQuery	integer	no	Max companies per query, 1–1000. Default 50.

Output

One dataset item per company. Every item carries a status field: found, not_found (no company matched that query) or error.

Use cases

• Lead generation: build a list of certified renovation contractors in a department or postal code.
• Compliance / vetting: confirm a contractor's RGE certification (and its expiry date) before signing, by SIRET.
• Market mapping: measure RGE contractor density per domain and per area.
• CRM enrichment: attach RGE status, domains and certifying body to an existing company file.

Limitations & fair use

• Coverage and freshness are exactly those of the ADEME register — a company appears only once its certifying body has declared it.
• A company usually holds several qualifications, so it can legitimately appear on several rows (one per qualification).
• email, website and address are often empty in the source register; they are returned as null rather than an empty string.
• The Actor adds a short delay between requests to stay polite towards the public API. Please keep volumes reasonable.
• Source: ADEME open data, published under Licence Ouverte / Open Licence (Etalab). Attribution to ADEME is expected when you redistribute the data.

Pricing

This Actor is free. You only pay your own Apify platform consumption (compute units), which is minimal — a typical run costs a fraction of a cent.
