How to scrape BODACC data

This actor queries the official BODACC open data API to deliver structured French commercial announcements. BODACC is France's mandatory publication bulletin for civil and commercial announcements — every company registration, modification, dissolution, insolvency proceeding, and account filing is published here. The database contains over 49 million announcements.

Search by Company Name

Enter a company name to find all official announcements about that company — registrations, modifications, insolvency proceedings, dissolutions, and account filings.

Search by SIREN Number

Look up all announcements for a specific company by its SIREN number. This gives you a complete legal timeline of any French company.

Filter by Notice Category

Focus on specific announcement types: insolvency proceedings (procedures collectives), new company registrations, modifications, deregistrations, account filings, or business sales/transfers.

Credit Risk Monitoring

Track insolvency announcements in a specific department or across all of France. Set up scheduled runs to monitor for new liquidations, receiverships (redressement judiciaire), and safeguard proceedings.
