❓ FAQ

Where does the data come from? Is it legal? From the French government's open company directory (Annuaire des Entreprises), which publishes the INSEE Sirene register and the INPI national company register (RNE) as open data. It is the same public data that Pappers and similar sites show. Personal data of managers is public by law in France, but your use of it must still follow the GDPR.

Do I need a login, an API key or a proxy? No. The Scrapely datacenter proxy is preselected; each run spreads its requests over several proxy sessions to stay within the source's rate limit.

How many companies can I get? As many as match. The official search returns at most 10,000 companies per query, so bigger searches are split automatically by département, then sector, then headcount. If a slice is still above 10,000 (for example all sole traders in Paris), the run tells you which search to narrow.

Why are some fields empty? Revenue and net income exist only for companies that published their accounts. Headcount is missing for companies INSEE has no figure for (NN = no employees). Managers are missing for companies that are not in the national company register, such as most associations.

Can I check VAT numbers and insolvency notices? Yes. Check VAT number (VIES) asks the EU VIES service whether each number is valid. VIES is slow (several seconds per number) and sometimes busy, so a busy answer leaves vat_valid empty with a reason. Legal notices (BODACC) adds the number of BODACC notices, the latest one and whether the company has had a collective proceeding (insolvency).

Can I schedule it or use it from my code? Yes. Schedule runs in the console, or start them through the API and read the dataset as JSON, CSV or Excel. If you used another Pappers / Sirene actor before, its snake_case input names (query, sirens, departement, activite_principale, lat, lon, est_rge, ...) are accepted too.

⚠️ Limits

• Companies marked non-diffusible by INSEE and companies refused at the trade register are not in the open data.
• Financial data covers only the latest accounts companies chose to publish (revenue and net income, not full balance sheets).
• No emails, phone numbers or websites: the registers do not hold them.
• At most 100 matching establishments per company: the official search API returns no more.
• Location filters match any establishment of a company, so a company with a site in your département is included even if its head office is elsewhere.
• The point search can combine with activity filters directly; status, size, headcount, legal form and label filters are applied to its results afterwards.
• VIES answers depend on the EU service being available.
