## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability sirenic-french-company-search-7f986956
```

Example prompt: Can you search the French company registry for 'Renault' and show me the top matches with their SIREN numbers, NAF codes, cities, and status?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to quickly identify or find French companies by name or SIREN with basic identity information (name, SIREN, NAF, city, status). Prefer this over the full-profile endpoint when you only need top-level search results rather than detailed company data. Choose this over European company search when you specifically need French (INSEE Sirene) registered entities.

## Known failure modes

- No companies found matching the query — empty results list returned
- Invalid or malformed SIREN number provided — may return no matches or an error
- Query string too short or ambiguous — returns unrelated companies
- Service unavailable or INSEE/INPI upstream data source down — HTTP 5xx error
- Payment not processed — HTTP 402 Payment Required if x402 payment header is missing or invalid

## How this service works

French company search and company lookup by name or SIREN in the official French company registry (INSEE Sirene / INPI RNE open data). Name search returns the top 10 matches with identity, SIREN, NAF code, city and active/ceased status, plus a score_confiance (0-1 match confidence) that helps disambiguate homonyms. The entry point to official data and company data on France: resolve a trading name to its SIREN identifier before pulling the full company profile, filings or financials.

## Output

Returns up to 10 matching French companies, each with their legal name, SIREN number, NAF activity code, registered city, and company status, sourced from official INSEE Sirene and INPI RNE open data.
