France Annuaire Entreprises Scraper (SIRENE)

France Annuaire Entreprises Scraper (SIRENE)

Scrape French company data from the SIRENE registry by name, SIREN, or NAF code, up to a million records per run. Each result includes the official SIRET, legal form, address, activity code, and administrative state. Export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML.

The official French SIRENE registry holds every registered business, but querying it at scale means dealing with rate limits and pagination. This France Annuaire Entreprises scraper reads the public company listings directly, filtering by département, legal nature, NAF/APE activity code, and administrative state, and returns each match in one fixed schema.

Who uses it	What they scrape France Annuaire Entreprises for
Sales prospectors	Build a targeted list of French businesses by sector and location for outreach.
Market analysts	Map the competitive density of a specific NAF code in a given département.
Compliance officers	Verify the administrative state and legal details of a batch of SIREN numbers.
Data journalists	Track company creations and closures across French regions over time.

What it does

This Actor collects French company records from the SIRENE registry by company name, SIREN, or SIRET, and returns each one as a flat row.

• 🔎 Search by name or identifier: Enter a company name, a SIREN, or a SIRET to find matching records.
• 📍 Geographic filter: Restrict results to a single French département using its 2-digit code, like '75' for Paris.
• 🏢 Legal form filter: Narrow the search by INSEE legal nature code, such as '5710' for SAS or '5499' for SA.
• 🏭 Activity code filter: Target specific industries with the NAF/APE code, for example '47.11D' for hypermarchés.
• ✅ Administrative state filter: Choose to see only active companies, only closed ones, or both.

Results export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML, or straight from the API.

Troubleshooting

Why am I getting no results for my search?

Check that your query is spelled correctly and that the optional filters, like département or administrative state, are not too restrictive. Try removing filters one by one to see which one is excluding all records.

The scraper returns fewer results than I expected.

The 'Maximum companies' setting caps the total output. Increase this number in the input. Also verify that your NAF code or legal nature filter is not narrowing the search more than intended.

I get an error when I enter a SIRET number.

Ensure the SIRET is exactly 14 digits with no spaces or special characters. If the problem persists, try searching with the first 9 digits, which is the SIREN, instead.

The département filter is not working.

The filter expects a 2-digit code like '75' for Paris or '13' for Marseille. Do not include the department name. If you leave it blank, the search covers all of France.

My run timed out before reaching the maximum items.

Large searches can take time. Try reducing the 'Maximum companies' value or adding more restrictive filters, like a specific département or NAF code, to narrow the result set and speed up the run.

FAQ

Question	Answer
What is the difference between a SIREN and a SIRET?	A SIREN is the 9-digit identifier for a legal entity. A SIRET is a 14-digit number that identifies a specific establishment of that entity. This scraper can search by either.
Can I search by company name instead of a number?	Yes. The query field accepts a company name, a SIREN, or a SIRET. The registry will return all matching records for the text you provide.
What is a NAF/APE code?	The NAF code, also called the APE code, is the French classification of business activities assigned by INSEE. You can filter results to a single activity code like '47.11D'.
How do I find the legal nature code for a specific company type?	INSEE publishes the official list of legal nature codes. For example, '5710' stands for a SAS and '5499' for a SA. Enter the code directly in the filter field.
Does this scraper return the company's phone number or email?	This scraper returns the official SIRENE registry fields, which include the registered address and legal details. It does not return phone numbers or email addresses.
Can I scrape multiple départements in one run?	The département filter accepts a single 2-digit code per run. To collect data from multiple départements, run the Actor once for each code.
Is there a limit on how many companies I can scrape?	Free users are limited to a 10-record preview. Paid users can set the maximum up to 1,000,000 records per run.
What output formats are supported?	You can export your dataset in CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML format from the Apify platform.
Does this Actor use the official SIRENE API?	It reads the public France Annuaire Entreprises web interface directly, so no API key or registration is required.
Can I schedule this scraper to run daily?	Yes. Apify supports scheduled runs. You can configure the Actor to run daily and track changes in company data over time.
