New: France Companies Search — SIRENE & RNE — ~10M French companies, free & keyless

What it does

This actor turns France's official national business registry into clean JSON. Point it at a company name, a SIREN number, a department or an industry (NAF/APE) code and it returns fully normalized records. It is powered entirely by France's free, keyless government open-data API, which aggregates INSEE SIRENE, the RNE (operated by INPI), and BODACC.

Who it's for

KYC, M&A; and lead-generation teams targeting France, plus EU market researchers who want the same registry the French state publishes - a free alternative to Infogreffe / Societe.com / BvD Orbis.
