Use API Sirene open data only for company identity checks.
Given a French SIREN or SIRET, verify:
1. the identifier exists in the INSEE Sirene source;
2. the legal unit or establishment status matches the user's claim;
3. dateDernierTraitement is recent enough for the decision;
4. diffusion rules allow the data to be displayed.
Return: identifier checked, source URL, matched fields, caveat, and what to re-check next.What To Watch
