## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need authoritative French company information from the official SIRENE registry, especially when you have a SIREN or SIRET number and need structured data including VAT numbers and directors. Prefer over web scraping or unofficial sources for compliance, onboarding, or due diligence workflows involving French entities.

## Known failure modes

- Company not found — returns empty result or 404 if SIREN/SIRET doesn't exist in SIRENE
- Invalid SIREN format — if the input is not 9 digits or a valid SIRET of 14 digits, returns a validation error
- Ambiguous company name — fuzzy search may return multiple or unexpected results if the name is too generic
- SIRENE registry unavailable — upstream outage causes 503 or timeout
- Payment failure — x402 payment not processed, returns 402 before serving data

## How this service works

Look up French company data from the SIRENE registry. Accepts SIREN (9 digits), SIRET (14 digits), or fuzzy company name. Returns company name, address, activity code, directors.

## Output
