Platform

• Company Detention Tree (Beta) - Introducing graphBeta, a new datapoint that allows you to retrieve the complete detention tree of a company. This feature helps visualize company ownership structures and can assist in identifying potential Ultimate Beneficial Owners (UBOs). To use this feature, simply include the “graphBeta” datapoint in your API calls.

Countries

🇪🇸 Spain

• Improved robustness and scalability of data processing systems, enhancing overall performance and reliability of Spanish company data retrieval.

🇨🇳 China

• Enhanced error handling for cases where company is not found but registry is accessible, providing clearer feedback and improved user experience.

🇬🇧 United Kingdom

• Enhanced error handling for cases where companies are not found in the registry, providing more informative and user-friendly error messages.

🇩🇪 Germany

• Improved shareholder data extraction from documents, adding support for rotated document processing.

Countries

🇩🇪 Germany

🇪🇸 Spain

• Improved system resilience for document access and retrieval, implementing additional error handling and recovery mechanisms.

Platform

• Implemented embedding cache system for standardized activity codes, legal forms, and roles processing, saving up to 1.5 second of processing time per query.
• Fixed error handling for cases when companies are not found, eliminating 500 errors. Users now see a generic “An Error has occurred in the job status” message. We’re working on improving generic error messages.

Countries

🇩🇪 Germany

Platform

• Fixed error handling for cases when companies are not found, eliminating 500 errors. Users now see a generic “An Error has occurred in the job status” message. We’re working on improving generic error messages.

Countries

🇪🇸 Spain

• Fixed financial document listing functionality to correctly retrieve and display available financial documents.

Platform

• Optimized request processing pipeline, resulting in an average 2 seconds reduction in response time across all endpoints.
• Fixed performance bottlenecks when processing companies with large document collections by implementing a faster inference endpoint for document metadata processing.
• Enhanced performance logging across the application to better identify and address bottlenecks.

Countries

🇮🇹 Italy

• Added support for asynchronous data retrieval from the Italian Chamber of Commerce (Camerale). As a result, companyProfile for Italy is now an asynchronous data point.

🇩🇪 Germany

• Implemented fallback to Handelsregister when Unternehmensregister is unavailable for search and companyProfile.

🇪🇸 Spain

• Improved overall speed and reliability of Spanish company data retrieval through infrastructure optimizations.
• Added support for asynchronous data retrieval for legalRepresentatives in Spain. Note that base companyProfile data still remains synchronous. This change prevents blocking access to base company data when fetching many legal representatives, which could be time-consuming for companies with extensive representative lists.
• As a result, companyProfile for Spain is now a partially asynchronous data point.

🇨🇳 China

• Improved overall speed and reliability of Chinese company data retrieval through infrastructure optimizations.

🇳🇱 Netherlands

• Updated document listing functionality to match KVK’s new API specifications, restoring the ability to list available documents for Dutch companies.
