I've just googled a french website societe.com (for french company) to know if they have an API that can be use freely. They just says contact us to get a quote....

We had a client asking for the same feature in 2011.

We received this quote for the societe.com webservice :

Max requests	Price	Price per request over quota
5000	2000€	0.46
25000	5000€	0.23
50000	7000€	0.16
150000	10000€	0.08

We also asked another provider that seemed to have more and better data sources : Cartegie. Here's the quote :
Access price 1000€ per year plus 0.22€ to 0.10€ declining per request.

Anyway, we didn't make the deal with our client, so the module has never been developed. As you can see, the upfront price of these services can be discouraging. Plus the fact that these sources use proprietary APIs and are very location specific (France only in both of these examples). We have yet to find an adequately priced international provider for these infos.

At a higher level, it seems completely ridiculous to pay for these infos. I think we need an open data initiative, at the very least in the European Union. But that's another story…

Cheers,
