RUNS WITHOUT AN API KEY (anonymous callers see the top 3 per market and are told how many more matched). WHO COULD SELL A DEVICE IN A MARKET — the question a company entering a market actually has. Give it a market and, optionally, a device type or clinical area; it returns the local distributors and importers who hold registrations there, what clinical areas they cover, how many markets they operate in, and a sample of the lines they already carry. Strongest across Asia, where the registry names the local partner rather than the manufacturer and this relationship is not published anywhere else: Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam, the Philippines, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, India and Hong Kong. This is the INVERSE of get_license_holders, which starts from a manufacturer you can already name. Regulatory consultants and authorised representatives are excluded — they hold licences as a service and do not sell — as are manufacturers' own in-country subsidiaries, Japanese captive importers and companies whose own registrations show they make what they register. TWO COUNTS, NEVER ONE: matching is the distributors that hold registrations in the market; matchingLicenceOrTenderOnly is the ones known only from a licence list or a tender award, with no registrations of their own in our data. Those are still potential distributors (often sub-distributors) and are returned too, each row marked basis: "licence_or_tender_only"; they rank after registered holders, so pass holder_basis "licence_or_tender_only" to list them. Read the caveats in the response before quoting any number from it.
