# KYB file for a French company

What sets this file apart from an enriched record is that screening also covers every officer — almost always where the signal is — and that each block declares its source registry and as-of date. A file you can reconstruct months later in front of an auditor.

## What the route returns

Catalogue description, exactly as agents read it:

**Company lookup KYB — Know Your Business verification of a French company in one call: official company data for due diligence, compliance and customer onboarding: identity, officers, BODACC legal alerts (insolvency, deregistration), filed financials, sanctions screening of the company and each officer against the 6 official lists, computed VAT number and a completeness score. Per-block provenance: every block states its official register and as-of date.**

## Expected identifier

9-digit company number.

> ⚠️ A wrongly formatted identifier returns `400` and is **not billed** — but it costs you a round trip. It is the leading cause of failed calls on the foreign routes.

## Price and billing

Price: **$0.15**. The authoritative amount is the one in the `402` quote returned by the route itself — not this text, which derives from the same grid but is still just a page.

An error response **cancels the payment**: a `400`, `404` or `503` is never billed. An upstream outage closes the route with a `503` rather than serving a degraded response.

## Calling the route

```
# 1. Le devis, sans rien payer : la route répond 402 avec son montant
curl -i https://api.sirenic.eu/v1/kyb/552032534

# 2. L'appel réglé — le client x402 paie le devis et rejoue la requête
npx x402-fetch https://api.sirenic.eu/v1/kyb/552032534

# 3. Ou en MCP, dans Claude Code / Cursor / un agent
claude mcp add --transport http sirenic https://api.sirenic.eu/mcp
```

## What this route does not do

No beneficial owners for France: the register has not been publicly accessible since the 2022 ruling of the Court of Justice of the European Union. This file does not fill that gap and does not claim to.

## Neighbouring routes

- `/v1/kyb/batch` — $0.105 / entité
- `/v1/sanctions/check` — $0.02
- `/v1/entreprise/{siren}/dossier` — $0.005

## How you pay

Every route is paid **per call**, in USDC or EURC on the Base network, over the x402 protocol: no account to create, no API key, no subscription. The first call returns a `402` quote your client settles, then replays the call. A failed call is never billed.

Would you rather have a euro invoice and prepaid credits? That is **in preparation**, and we will not announce a date until it is open. Write to [contact@sirenic.eu](mailto:contact@sirenic.eu?subject=Euro%20credit%20packs) and we will let you know when it opens.

Paid responses are **Ed25519-signed**: you can later prove what was served to you, and when. The whole catalogue is free to read in the [OpenAPI document](https://api.sirenic.eu/openapi.json) and in [llms.txt](https://api.sirenic.eu/llms.txt).

**One call, end to end**
