Have a look at the official tutorial on portail-api.insee.fr
API Subscription Tutorial
Note
This is only necessary if you want to access data from the SIRENE API, all other APIs are now freely accessible.
Steps to access the SIRENE API via pynsee
Create an account on portail-api.insee.fr
Create an application
Go to catalog, click on SIRENE and subscribe with you newly created application
Copy the API key
Save your credentials with init_conn function
# Subscribe to api.insee.fr and get your credentials!
# Save your credentials with init_conn function :
from pynsee.utils.init_conn import init_conn
init_conn(sirene_key="my_sirene_key")
# Beware: any change to the keys should be tested after having cleared the cache
# Please do: from pynsee.utils import clear_all_cache; clear_all_cache()
Note
For existing subscriptions, you can always find the key again by going in “Applications”, clicking on the application name, then on the “Souscriptions” tab, and finally on “API Sirene”: it appears on the right under “Clés d’API”
