## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need authoritative, government-sourced data on French companies or establishments for KYB, due diligence, or enrichment purposes. Prefer this over third-party business data providers when official INSEE accuracy is required, or when you specifically need NAF/APE codes, headcount bands, or official legal status from the French government register.

## Known failure modes

- SIREN/SIRET not found in Sirene register (no results returned)
- Invalid SIREN format (not 9 digits) or SIRET format (not 14 digits)
- Free-text search matches too many results — refine query or reduce limit
- INSEE Sirene API upstream outage causing timeout or error
- Payment failure via x402 protocol (402 response if USDC payment not processed)
