DESCRIPTION

This module allows you to interact with the Sirene API of INSEE (Institut National de la Statistique et des Études Économiques) in France.

It contains a set of functions that can perform searches on INSEE's database to get some information about french companies like their SIREN number, company name, company headquarters address, etc.

The terms "enterprise", "legal unit" and "establishment" used in this documentation are defined at the INSEE website in the following pages:

Here is the documentation with among others all fields names:

Please note that this API is french so all fields names used in function calls are in french, including the aliases.

REQUIRED MODULES

This module makes use of the LWP library to send http requests and JSON library to decode JSON when getting the token. Also, this module gives you responses in JSON format so you may need the JSON library.

EXPORT

These following functions are exported by default:

These folowing functions are available by manual import:

FUNCTIONAL INTERFACE

This section describes all available features in this module.

VARIABLES

CLIENT_AUTH

Required constant so the module can connect to your INSEE account and obtain a token that allows him to send requests thereafter. The value must be your base64 encoded credentials.

The token has a limited lifetime (7 days by default but you can change it) and it is automatically renewed by the API. The module gets the new token automatically from the API.

default_max_results

Optional variable that specifies how many results the API must return to the module. A too big value may impact response time and general performances.

This variable is set to 20 results by default.

HARD_MAX_RESULTS

Constant that specifies the max results number you can get. This value can't be increased (restricted by API). If you try to send a request with a higher value, the nombre parameter will be forced to HARD_MAX_RESULTS value.

proxy

Optional variable that specifies which proxy server must be used to send requests.

This variable is set to undef by default. If this variable is not set, the module uses system proxy settings.

timeout

An optional variable that specify how many seconds the client module waits for server response before giving up.

This variable is set to 20 seconds by default.

FUNCTIONS

getLegalUnitBySIREN

Search a legal unit by her SIREN number.

getEstablishmentBySIRET

Search an establishment by his SIRET number.

getEstablishmentsBySIREN

Search all establishments that are attached to the legal unit identified by this SIREN number.

getLegalUnitsByCriteria

Search all legal units matching the specified criteria.

getEstablishmentsByCriteria

Search all establishments matching the specified criteria.

getLegalUnitsByName

Search all legal units matching the specified name. (denominationUniteLegale field)

getEstablishmentsByName

Search all establishments matching the specified name. (denominationUniteLegale field)

getLegalUnitsByUsualName

Search all legal units matching the specified name. (denominationUsuelle1UniteLegale field)

getEstablishmentsByUsualName

Search all establishments matching the specified name. (denominationUsuelle1UniteLegale field)

getUserAgentInitialized

Return the user agent initialized with the token. Allows advanced users to make their own requests.

Note: All functions search and return values that are in the most recent legal unit period.

PARAMETERS

siren and siret

In the getEstablishmentBySIRET, getEstablishmentsBySIREN and getLegalUnitBySIREN functions, you must give a SIREN or a SIRET number:

  my $response_json = getLegalUnitBySIREN(123456789);
  my $response_json = getEstablishmentBySIRET(12345678987654);
  my $response_json = getEstablishmentsBySIREN(123456789);

Note: A SIREN number must be 9 digits long and a SIRET number must be 14 digits long.

criteria

In the getLegalUnitsByCriteria and getEstablishmentsByCriteria functions, you must give a hash reference of search criteria:

  # search all legal units whose acronym like 'ABC' AND whose category like 'ETI'
  my %criteria = (
    sigleUniteLegale => 'ABC',
    categorieEntreprise => 'ETI'
  );

  my $response_json = getLegalUnitsByCriteria(\%criteria);

Note: Criteria are concatened with an AND in query search. A criteria is a couple of field:value, you can use aliases defined below.

name

In the getLegalUnitsByName, getEstablishmentsByName, getLegalUnitsByUsualName and getEstablishmentsByUsualName functions, you must give a string:

    my $response_json = getLegalUnitsByName("EnterpriseName");

Note: You can enter a part or the complete name of an enterprise.

fields

All functions are taking two parameters including an optional one. The second parameter, if present, can be presented in three forms:

  my $fields_that_interest_me = ['dateCreationUniteLegale', 'sigleUniteLegale'];
  my $response_json = getLegalUnitBySIREN(123456789, $fields_that_interest_me);

  # or
  my $response_json = getLegalUnitBySIREN(123456789, 'dateCreationUniteLegale');

  # or
  my $response_json = getLegalUnitBySIREN(123456789, 'all');

You can specify an array of fields that interest you in order that the module returns to you only these fields. If you want to get only one field, you do not have to give it as an array.

When you don't specify fields like this:

  my $response_json = getLegalUnitBySIREN(123456789);

The module will not return to you all fields by default because there are too many. Instead, it returns a selection of fields that are most likely of interest to you. (see $usefull_fields_unite_legale and $usefull_fields_etablissement in code to find out which ones)

If you want all fields, you have to specify it explicitly by passing the 'all' parameter.

RETURN VALUES

Each function returns a list of two elements. The first is the return code, which is 0 in case of success, or something else in case of failure. The second is the result of the request (some json or an error message). In case of problem when call the API (malformed request for example), the complete sent request and the response received with headers will be returned in the error message. To handling the return of these function, you can do somethink like this:

  my ($err, $result) = getLegalUnitBySIREN(123456789, 'dateCreationUniteLegale');
  print $result if ($err);

The getUserAgentInitialized function may launch a croak when the getToken internal function fails to get the token used to call the API, so to handle this error, you should use it in an eval.

    eval { my $user_agent = getUserAgentInitialized() };
    print $@ if ($@);

ALIAS

Some fields have an alias to be more user-friendly, here is the list of available aliases:

  my %usefull_fields_alias = (
    'nicSiege'                       => 'nicSiegeUniteLegale',
    'nom'                            => 'denominationUniteLegale',
    'dateCreation'                   => 'dateCreationUniteLegale',
    'sigle'                          => 'sigleUniteLegale',
    'categorieJuridique'             => 'categorieJuridiqueUniteLegale',
    'nomenclatureActivitePrincipale' => 'nomenclatureActivitePrincipaleUniteLegale',
    'activitePrincipale'             => 'activitePrincipaleUniteLegale',
    'numvoie'                        => 'numeroVoieEtablissement',
    'typevoie'                       => 'typeVoieEtablissement',
    'nomvoie'                        => 'libelleVoieEtablissement',
    'codePostal'                     => 'codePostalEtablissement',
    'nomCommune'                     => 'libelleCommuneEtablissement'
  );

Usage:

  my $response_json = getLegalUnitBySIREN(123456789, 'nom');

is equivalent to

  my $response_json = getLegalUnitBySIREN(123456789, 'denominationUniteLegale');
