API Siren

Introduction​

The Siren API, provided by INSEE, allows you to retrieve information about a company using its SIRET number.

Axelor integrates this API and can therefore automatically collect various data, such as:

  • first and last name,

  • title,

  • type (individual or company),

  • VAT number,

  • category (if specified in AOS),

  • NAF code,

  • address.

The system distinguishes between natural persons and legal entities, ensuring appropriate management of each partner.

  1. Create an account: you can create an account here: https://api.insee.fr/catalogue/

  3. Subscribe: subscribe to the application.

It is also possible to use the SIREN API to complete the data for an existing partner. It will not modify the existing data.
