# Connect INSEE SIRENE

> Look up French company data—establishments, addresses, legal info—via the INSEE SIRENE API. Free, 30 requests per minute.

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

## Prerequisites

* An INSEE developer account.
* An INSEE API key from the [INSEE developer portal](https://portail-api.insee.fr).

## Get the API key

  <Step title="Create an INSEE developer account">
    Sign up at [portail-api.insee.fr](https://portail-api.insee.fr).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Subscribe to the SIRENE API">
    From the portal, subscribe your application to the **SIRENE API**.

</Steps>

## Connect

From **Integrations → INSEE SIRENE**, click **Connect**, paste the **INSEE API key**, and save.

## What you get

* Look up establishments by **SIRET** or **SIREN**.
* Search by company name.
