Pappers is a web service and API for looking up legal, corporate and financial information about French companies. Records can include statutes, accounts, brands, executives and shareholders. Search filters cover companies, executives, beneficial owners, documents and BODACC publications, with text search inside legal documents; results can be downloaded in Excel format. The API provides company records, search results and documents, and includes a Zapier connector. New API accounts created with a professional email receive 100 free credits, but API access stops when those credits are used. Pappers also offers customizable email or webhook monitoring alerts for companies and executives, with Zapier and Make integrations. Its MCP connects with Claude, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Mistral and HuggingChat, and can work alongside other MCP servers. Pappers Pro combines monitoring and exports with an AI assistant, solvency reports, credit limits and beneficial-owner information for companies in 14 European countries. Surveillance plans include a free tier, €200 a year and €480 a year options. Pappers says its data is updated daily, but does not guarantee its information is exhaustive, accurate, current, error-free or complete.
