France SIRENE Company Registry Scraper

What this Actor scrapes

France's recherche-entreprises API is the state's own keyless, public SIRENE company registry — no auth, no API key — but its JSON nests head-office address, workforce range, VAT numbers and officer data several levels deep inside each SIREN entity. This Actor flattens every matching company into one clean, English-labelled row, keeps running through malformed entries and genuine zero-match searches, and prices at $4.20 per 1,000 results at scale.

What we handle for you

• 🧊 Flattens SIRENE's nested JSON — head-office address, workforce range, VAT and size-category data flattened into one clean, English-labelled row per company.
• 🧱 Honest zero-match handling — a narrow filter combination that matches nothing still finishes SUCCEEDED with a clear status message, never billed as a failed run.
• 🩹 Per-row fault isolation — one malformed registry entry is logged and skipped; it never crashes the rest of the page.
• 🔁 Retries transient 429/5xx responses with exponential backoff instead of failing the whole run.
• 🎯 Typed, validated dataset rows — Pydantic-checked, stable SIREN identifiers, JSON / CSV / Excel export straight from the Apify Console.
• 💰 Pay-Per-Event pricing — you only pay for results that hit your dataset. No data, no charge.

Use cases

• Build a French B2B prospect list filtered by NAF industry code, department or commune.
• Run a KYC/AML supplier or counterparty check against France's authoritative SIRENE registry.
• Screen a partner list for ceased companies before contracting.
• Support market-entry research by pulling every registered company in a department, commune or industry line.

Pricing

You pay only for results that land. Cap any run with maxTotalChargeUsd. See pricing & billing for worked examples.

Limitations

• Returns current registry data only — no financials, shareholders, beneficial owners or historical name/address change logs.
• Company size category and NACE section labels are decoded from bounded, standard INSEE/NACE Rev.2 tables — not a full free-text industry description.
• The url field links to the public annuaire-entreprises.data.gouv.fr lookup page, which renders client-side and cannot be verified per-SIREN without a browser.
