Pappers is a custom provider authenticated by API key. The platform calls Pappers directly using the key you supply.

​
Prerequisites

  • A Pappers account with API access.
  • A Pappers API key from pappers.fr/api.

​
Get the API key

1

Create a Pappers API account

Sign up at pappers.fr/api.
2

Copy the key

Copy the API key from your dashboard. Pappers uses credit-based pricing (≈ 0.1 credit per search)—choose a plan that matches the volume your pipelines will generate.

​
Connect

From Integrations → Pappers, click Connect, paste the Pappers API key, and save.

​
What you get

  • Search by company name (covers both companies and individuals).
  • Look up by SIREN or SIRET.
  • Returns TVA number, registered address, legal category, and other public data directly—fewer follow-up calls than INSEE.

​
When to pick Pappers over INSEE

  • Better name search when SIRET/SIREN isn’t known.
  • TVA and richer legal info in a single call.
  • Pappers charges credits per search; INSEE is free but rate-limited to 30 req/min. Use INSEE for high-volume SIRET lookups and Pappers for ad-hoc name searches.

​
Rotation

Generate a new key in the Pappers dashboard, paste it into the Credentials form, verify, then revoke the old key.
