## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
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.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## 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`.

```json
{
  "query": "59320",
  "matchedBy": "postal_code",
  "status": "found",
  "companyName": "EL ARCHITECTURE",
  "siret": "82454695600023",
  "address": null,

  "qualificationUrl": "https://ws-api.architectes.org/faire/v2/attestation/...",
  "source": "ADEME - Liste des entreprises RGE (open data)"
}
````

### 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.

# Actor input Schema

## `queries` (type: `array`):

One search per line. A 5-digit value is treated as a postal code, 14 digits as a SIRET, 9 digits as a SIREN; anything else is a full-text search on company name and city.

## `domain` (type: `string`):

Restrict results to one RGE work domain. Leave on 'Any' to return every domain.

## `maxResultsPerQuery` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of companies returned for each query (1-1000).

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "queries": [
    "21000",
    "82454695600023",
    "ENGLOS"
  ],
  "domain": "Any",
  "maxResultsPerQuery": 10
}
```
