Example prompt: Can you search the BODACC French legal registry for any announcements about OVH — I want to see up to 20 results, including any modifications or insolvency notices.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need official, government-sourced French company legal announcement data from the BODACC registry, particularly for due diligence, compliance checks, insolvency verification, or corporate research on French entities. Prefer this over generic business lookup APIs when you specifically need official French gazette announcements (creation, modification, radiation, collective proceedings).

## Known failure modes

- No results found for the given company name or SIREN — returns empty list
- Invalid or malformed SIREN number — may return no results or error
- DILA/BODACC upstream API unavailable — service error
- Query too broad returns too many results — use limit parameter to constrain
- Invalid famille filter value — rejected with validation error
