Conventions

• pays : 2-letter ISO codes separated by commas; UK for the United Kingdom.
• secteur : slug or exact FR label, multiple values with |.
• tri : ca_desc (default), ca_asc, nom, effectif_desc, recent, capital_desc, score.
• Amounts: ca_eur in euros; ca_last × ca_mult in local currency (ca_devise).
• UTF-8 JSON, open CORS on /api/v1, pagination by limit + offset.

Python

import requests

CLE = "as_live_XXXX"
r = requests.get("https://sourcing.argos-finance.fr/api/v1/societes",
    params={"pays": "FR,BE", "secteur": "restauration|hotellerie", "limit": 100},
    headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {CLE}"})
r.raise_for_status()
for s in r.json()["societes"]:
    print(s["nom"], s["ville"], s["ca_eur"])

JavaScript

const r = await fetch("https://sourcing.argos-finance.fr/api/v1/societes?pays=IT&secteur=machinerie&limit=50",
  { headers: { Authorization: "Bearer as_live_XXXX" } });
const { total, societes } = await r.json();

Pagination: limit and offset

limit never exceeds your plan cap (5 companies on Discovery, 200 on Business, 500 on Integration): a higher value is clamped to the cap, without an error. total gives the real number of companies in the scope: walk it by incrementing offset.

Handling 429 (quota reached)

Every identified response carries X-Quota-Used and X-Quota-Limit: watch them to stop before the wall. The quota is daily and resets at midnight UTC: retrying straight away is pointless, better resume the loop the next day from the last offset.

r = requests.get(url, params=params, headers=entetes)

if r.status_code == 429:
    utilise = r.headers.get("X-Quota-Used")
    limite = r.headers.get("X-Quota-Limit")
    # { "erreur": { "code": "quota_api", "message": "...", "quota": {...} } }
    raise SystemExit(
        f"Quota journalier atteint : {utilise}/{limite}. "
        f"Reprendre demain a l'offset {params['offset']}."
    )

r.raise_for_status()

const r = await fetch(url, { headers });
if (r.status === 429) {
  const utilise = r.headers.get("X-Quota-Used");
  const limite = r.headers.get("X-Quota-Limit");
  console.warn(`Quota atteint : ${utilise}/${limite}, reprise demain (UTC).`);
  return null;
}
