Statistics for an activity sector

Comparing two companies with each other does not tell you whether either is normal; that is what this route adds. It accepts an activity code at any level of the classification, from division down to sub-class, letting you narrow the benchmark to the actual trade.

What the route returns

Catalogue description, exactly as agents read it:

Sector benchmarks and sector statistics for a French NAF activity code (any level: division, groupe, classe, sous-classe): number of active companies, median company age (with quartiles), workforce-bracket distribution, and — when at least 5 companies file public accounts — median revenue, EBITDA margin, pre-tax result and debt ratio. Peer comparison in one call: place a company against its peers. Aggregates only, no personal data; sectors with fewer than 5 companies are excluded.

Expected identifier

Activity code, at any level: division, group, class or sub-class.

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: $0.05. 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.

What this route does not do

Aggregates only, no personal data, and sectors with fewer than 5 companies are excluded: an aggregate over three companies re-identifies its members.

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 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 and in llms.txt.
