Data
Retrieve company data
This endpoint allows you to retrieve detailed information about a specific company.
You can either:
-
Make a new request by providing:
- country code
- company id
- desired data points
- optional document IDs
-
Get results from a previous request by providing:
- requestId (this will return cached data and avoid being billed again)
Available data points are:
- companyProfile: Basic company information, legal representatives and shareholders
- ultimateBeneficialOwners: Information about beneficial owners
- availableDocuments: List of available official documents
There are two ways to retrieve documents:
-
Two-step process:
- First, request the “availableDocuments” data point to get a list of all available documents with their IDs
- Then, use these specific document IDs in a second request
-
Direct access using smart IDs:
- Use predefined smart IDs for quick access to common documents:
- trade_register_extract: Latest trade register extract
- certified_trade_register_extract: Latest certified trade register extract
- last_fiscal_year_financial_statement: Latest financial statement
- last_consolidated_article_of_association: Latest consolidated articles of association
- Use predefined smart IDs for quick access to common documents:
Refer to our country coverage documentation to check which smart IDs are available for each country.
