## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

### FAQ

**Do I need a BODACC API key or a SIRENE account?**
No. BODACC publishes its data through the free OpenDataSoft open-data portal. This actor wraps that API directly — no key, no quota, no signup beyond your Apify account.

**Why are today's announcements missing?**
BODACC publishes T+1 to T+3 days behind the actual filing or jugement date. Always query with at least a 3-day lookback to get full daily coverage.

**Why is `maxResults` capped at 10,000?**
OpenDataSoft enforces a hard offset ceiling of 10,000 per query. For larger pulls, slice your job by `dateFrom` / `dateTo` windows (e.g. one month per run) or by department.

**What's the difference between this and the official BODACC RSS feed?**
The RSS gives raw flat text — no SIREN parsing, no capital, no dirigeants. This actor parses the nested `listepersonnes`, `acte`, `jugement` JSON sub-fields and flattens them into clean top-level columns ready for a CRM, a notebook, or a spreadsheet.

**Can I get just one company's BODACC history?**
Yes — pass the 9-digit `siren` parameter. You get every announcement ever filed for that SIREN, newest first.

**I need help or a custom slice.**
Open an issue on the [Issues tab](https://apify.com/dltik/bodacc-fr-scraper/issues) or message the author through Apify.
