Infogreffe alternative: registry facts as an API, not the official documents

TL;DR

Infogreffe is the official portal of France's commercial-court registries: the source for the extrait Kbis, statuts, comptes annuels and procedures collectives, each carrying legal value no JSON response can replace. Prometiam does not issue documents, for France or any other country. It is a REST API for the underlying registry facts — company identity, status, officers, corporate events and French insolvency notices — in the same response shape across Spain, France, the UK, Ireland, Poland and Norway, with published prices from a free tier.

Pick Infogreffe if

You need the extrait Kbis or another document with legal value, a French company's filed annual accounts, or a procedure collective exactly as the commercial court published it. Prometiam has no equivalent to any of these.

Pick Prometiam if

You want company data as JSON rather than a document, across more than France, in one API — with French insolvency notices, sanctions and export-control screening (beta), and portfolio monitoring for Spain, Ireland and Poland in the same integration.

Scope limits

Prometiam issues no documents of any kind. Insolvency notices are corporate only, across nine markets (FR, DE, GB, AT, CH, NO, FI, US, NL); Spain's concursal proceedings sit on a separate search endpoint. Beneficial ownership is the UK PSC register only — French officer data is not beneficial ownership. Monitoring covers Spain, Ireland and Poland, not France. Sanctions screening is beta; PEP screening is beta and Spain only, with no relatives or close associates.

Beyond the registry record

Two derived signals on the Prometiam side, neither of them a rating: registry_compliance, which marks companies still on the register that stopped meeting their filing duties (Spain, the United Kingdom, Ireland and Norway), and public procurement — Spanish contract awards by supplier, buyer, tax id, CPV code and date, plus a beta score for the contracting body itself in Spain and France. Both are dated facts with their source, on the published price and in the free tier; a score is a prompt to look, never a finding of wrongdoing. Public-buyer risk · Procurement screening

Frequently asked questions

Can Prometiam issue a Kbis extract?
No. Prometiam returns structured registry data over an API, never a document with legal value. For the extrait Kbis, statuts or comptes annuels, use Infogreffe directly.
How much does Infogreffe cost?
Per document, at the regulated tariff of 1 March 2026 (prices incl. VAT): an extrait Kbis costs €3.06 delivered electronically (€2.44 at the greffe, €4.00 by post), a copy of the statutes or a full copy of the annual accounts €9.08, the judicial-status check €4.30, and an annual Infogreffe subscription €102 with monthly consumption billed on top. Its API and data offer shows no price on the pages read on 15 September 2026. Prometiam publishes its prices: free for 1,000 calls a month, then €9.99, €29.99 and €99.99 a month.
Does Prometiam cover French insolvency notices?
Yes, at GET /insolvency/search?country=FR and as event_type=insolvency at GET /company-events/search?country=FR — corporate only. Corporate insolvency notices also cover DE, GB, AT, CH, NO, FI, US and NL.
Can I use Infogreffe and Prometiam together?
That is what most France-heavy teams end up doing: Prometiam for the API-first work — daily lookups, monitoring, sanctions screening — and Infogreffe for the moment an actual document is required.
Does Infogreffe have a developer API?
Infogreffe publishes eight open datasets under the Licence Ouverte on opendata.datainfogreffe.fr — registration, deregistration and insolvency-judgment statistics, legal forms, the list of greffes — and advertises a commercial data platform for professionals; its price is not shown on the pages read on 15 September 2026.
