Request

Over HTTP, with a card key from /credits:

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer adt_…" "https://tools.funwords.eu/fr/company?siren=552032534"

Or one of your 3 free calls, no key:

curl "https://tools.funwords.eu/fr/company?siren=552032534&trial=1"

Without a key, the same URL answers 402 Payment Required with x402 and MPP terms, so an agent with a wallet pays per call in USDC (Base, Polygon, Arbitrum or Solana over x402; Base or Tempo over MPP) and retries.

Questions

Where does the data come from?

The French State's company search API (INSEE Sirene and the RNE), read live under the Licence Ouverte.

Is this a credit report?

No. It shows register facts only: no score, rating or opinion. Sole traders are not shown.

How do I pay?

Each successful call costs $0.01; failed calls are not charged. The first 3 calls are free (25 through an MCP client). Then pay with card credits (from $1; the key goes in an Authorization header or, for clients that can only fetch a URL, as api_key= in the URL) or per call in USDC over x402 or MPP. No account is needed.
