## What's an Apify Actor?
Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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.
Actors are written with capital "A".
## 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.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.
- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).
For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

### Frequently Asked Questions
**What French legal announcements does this scraper cover?**
It covers the official bulletin of civil and commercial announcements for the whole of France: company registrations, sales and transfers of business, insolvency and collective proceedings, account filings, modifications and deregistrations. Records go back many years and are updated as new announcements are published.
**How do I find insolvencies for a company or area?**
Set the announcement type to insolvency and collective proceedings, then add a company name or SIREN, a department code or a publication date range. Each matching record includes the ruling nature and full text, for example a liquidation, a receivership or a closure for insufficient assets.
**Can I look up every announcement for one company?**
Yes. Enter a 9 digit SIREN as the search text and the scraper returns the full legal history for that company, including its registration, any sales, modifications, account filings and insolvency events, each with its own date and details.
**How many announcements can I collect in one run?**
You set the limit with the Max items field. Large searches match hundreds of thousands of records, so you can collect thousands per run. Very deep result sets are best narrowed with a date range or a department filter.
**What happens when a field is missing for an announcement?**
Fields that do not apply to a given announcement type are returned as null rather than dropped, so the record shape stays consistent. An insolvency record carries the judgment block while a sale record carries the sale block, and each keeps the shared company and court fields.
