## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## France New Companies & BODACC Events (Official, SIRENE-enriched)

Get the companies that were **just created in France**, straight from the official **BODACC** (Bulletin officiel des annonces civiles et commerciales), in one clean table. Each row has the company name, legal form (SAS, SARL…), share capital, managers, declared activity, head-office address, département, registration date and a link to the official announcement. Each SIREN is then looked up in the official **SIRENE** directory to add the **SIRET, NAF industry code and label, employee range and GPS coordinates**. Works with no input, needs no API key, and costs **$1.50 per 1,000 results**.

You can also get other BODACC events: **business sales and transfers, insolvency proceedings (receivership, liquidation), removals from the register and changes** (new managers, address moves, capital changes, dissolutions).

**Who it's for:** accountants (experts-comptables), banks and insurers, payroll and HR software, web and marketing agencies, office and equipment suppliers, domiciliation and legal services, credit-risk and supplier-monitoring teams. A new company needs all of these in its first weeks, and an insolvency or a sale is a risk or sales signal.

### Why this actor

- **Official sources only:** the BODACC open data published by DILA (the French government's legal publisher) and the SIRENE directory from INSEE via the government's public API. No scraping of search pages, no proxies, no CAPTCHAs.
- **Industry filter that actually works:** filter by **NAF code** (e.g. `56` restaurants, `43` building trades, `62` IT) on top of the free-text activity search.
- **Enriched rows:** SIRET, NAF code + French label, sector, employee range and latitude/longitude come from SIRENE, so the data is ready for a CRM, a map or a mail-merge.
- **New since last run:** schedule it daily and get only announcements you haven't seen before. It's a ready-made lead feed.
- **Companies only by default:** sole traders (individuals) are excluded unless you ask for them.
- **Fast and cheap:** one bulk request to BODACC; a default run (100 companies, enriched) takes about 20 seconds. No start fee, you pay per result only.

### Pricing

Pay per result: **$0.0015 per row** ($1.50 per 1,000). No start fee. Set "Max cost per run" in Apify to cap spending.

### Tips

- Daily lead feed for Paris restaurants: `departments: ["75"]`, `nafCodes: ["56"]`, `daysBack: 3`, `newSinceLastRun: true`, scheduled daily.
- Credit-risk watch: `eventTypes: ["collective", "radiation"]` for your départements.
- Businesses for sale / takeovers: `eventTypes: ["vente"]`.

### FAQ

**How fresh is it?** BODACC is published every working day; the dataset usually has the day's issue the same morning.
**Why do some rows have no NAF code?** The company is newer than the SIRENE search index. Run again in a few days or use `newSinceLastRun` with a date range.
**Are emails or phone numbers included?** No. The official sources don't publish them.

### Data source & disclaimer

- **Sources:** [BODACC annonces commerciales](https://bodacc-datadila.opendatasoft.com/explore/dataset/annonces-commerciales/) published by DILA under the French Licence Ouverte / Open Licence, read through the documented OpenDataSoft API; [API Recherche d'entreprises](https://recherche-entreprises.api.gouv.fr/docs/) (SIRENE / INSEE and RNE data, Licence Ouverte), used within its public rate limit; NAF rév. 2 labels from INSEE via data.gouv.fr. Each row links to the official announcement on bodacc.fr.
- **How fresh:** every row carries `publishedDate` (BODACC issue) and `scrapedAt` (when this run fetched it).
- **Personal data:** BODACC announcements name managers and, for sole traders, the individual. Under the GDPR you are the controller of what you do with this data: have a lawful basis, respect objection rights and French direct-marketing rules (consent is required for e-mail marketing to individuals). Birth dates and home addresses from SIRENE are deliberately **not** included.
- **Disclaimer:** Data is provided **as is** from public records, without warranty of any kind. Records can contain errors, omissions or delays from the source or from processing, so check anything important against bodacc.fr or the official register. This actor and its output are **not legal, financial or credit advice**. This actor is independent and **not affiliated with or endorsed by** DILA, INSEE or the French government.
