companies_searchRead-only
Search EU + UK companies in official registries by name or identifier. Every company is one standard object with the same keys in all 35 countries (null where the register publishes no value): identifiers [{type, value}], vat_number and vat_number_source (register or rule; also in identifiers as type vat; register: published by the register (EE; LV from the State Revenue Service’s list of VAT payers; LT from the State Tax Inspectorate’s list; AU the ABN while GST-registered; TW the unified business number where the company is in the tax file) or the register confirms VAT registration and the number is the legal format of its identifier (NO, FI, BE). rule: built from the company identifier (ES ES+NIF, FR FR+key+SIREN, PL PL+NIP, NO NO+number+MVA, FI, SE SE+number+01, BE, HR HR+OIB, DK, RO RO+CUI, CH CHE+UID+MWST): the format is right, the registration is not confirmed (check an EU number with GET /vat/{number}; VIES has no NO or CH). Null where the register says the company is not VAT-registered (NO, FI), where a Latvian company is not on the State Revenue Service’s list of VAT payers, and where no rule exists (GB, IE, SK, CY, US, CA, JP, IL, BR, CO, SG, CZ, DE, IT, IN, AT, GR, LU, HU, PT, and EE without a published KMKR).), the standard legal_form abbreviation and legal_form_family beside the register's local_legal_form and local_legal_form_name, a standard status and stage beside the register's own local_status, one main activity_code with its scheme, label and NACE class (nace_class, nace_version, nace_division, nace_derived, and nace_title, its English title), the same industry as a NACE Rev. 2 and a NACE Rev. 2.1 class or division (nace_rev2_class, nace_rev2_division, nace_rev21_class, nace_rev21_division), the ISIC Rev. 4 class (isic4_class) and the US NAICS 2022 sector and subsector (naics_sector, naics_subsector) through the official correspondence tables of Eurostat, the United Nations and the US Census Bureau (a class only where the table links exactly one, the division where the linked classes share one, otherwise null, never a guess and never read from the name; ES and PL mix two editions of their classification, so a class that exists in both revisions with changed content is served only when both readings give it; BR, CO and SG derive from ISIC Rev. 4), and the age of the company: age_years (whole years on the day of the answer), age_band (under_1y, 1_3y, 3_5y, 5_10y, 10_20y, 20y_plus) and age_basis (founding_date, else registration_date; null for CH and JP, which publish no founding date, and for DE, which serves no founding date; in an LEI layer the date is the entity creation date GLEIF holds, which can be later than the start of the company), address with region, capital_amount and capital_eur, and registry_details for what only one register has (null when the dictionary does not recognise a stored value — never a guess). Use country to scope the search to Spain (BORME), France (BODACC), the UK (Companies House), Ireland (CRO), Poland (KRS), Norway (Brønnøysundregistrene), Finland (Kaupparekisteri), Sweden (Bolagsverket), Croatia (Sudski registar), Belgium (KBO/BCE), Denmark (CVR), Estonia (e-Business Register), Slovakia (RPO), Switzerland (Zefix), Latvia (Register of Enterprises), Cyprus (DRCOR), Romania (ONRC), Lithuania (JAR), Canada (Corporations Canada), Australia (ASIC and the ABR), Japan (National Tax Agency), Israel (Corporations Authority), Brazil (CNPJ), Colombia (RUES), Singapore (ACRA), Taiwan (GCIS), the Czech Republic (public register, Ministry of Justice, and RES), Germany (LEI-registered entities and energy-market register companies), or the United States (state registers, SEC EDGAR and GLEIF). Fuzzy name results carry a match_score (0–100) and are ranked by relevance, best first. NOTE: "dissolved" means different things by country — ES/FR still exists pending liquidation, GB/IE/PL/NO/FI no longer exists — read status (the standard value), not local_status, to compare across countries. Norway and France include sole proprietorships (ENK, EI) as the register publishes them; a French company that opted out of publication (INSEE non-diffusible) has company_name null, status withheld and registry_details.non_diffusible true, is left out of name searches, the founding-date feed and event searches by name, and is found by SIREN or SIRET. A Spanish company closed by a merger is served as closed (local_status absorbed). A malformed identifier (a Spanish NIF must pass its control character), or a limit outside the documented range, is a 400 validation_error. A name search ranks a pool of up to about 700 candidates and pages through it: when has_more is true, pass next_cursor (o:) back as cursor (offset= is the same), 1 credit a page; a page past the pool is empty. match_score (0-100) means the same in every country: 100 the name is the query, 80-99 it starts with the words of the query, 50-79 it holds every word, below 50 parts of words. match_type on every result says what it matched on: exact (the identifier, the whole name, or a listing with no name), partial (the name starts with or holds the words) or, only when the usual search found nothing, fuzzy (a similar spelling, any country: similarity 0.6 or more, 0.45 in Spain, at most 10 companies, meta.search_mode name_fuzzy, approximate) or nif_other_letter (Spain only: a NIF with entity letter A or B that finds nothing returns the company holding the same digits under the other letter, which may be another company: confirm the name; meta.search_mode nif_other_letter). Both fallbacks cost the same credits as a normal search and are never applied by companies_lookup, which stays exact. To fetch one company by its register number (NIF, SIREN, CRN, KRS, CVR) use company_detail with country and company_number. eu_size_class, eu_size and fiscal_year_end_month (every plan, no extra credit): an INDICATIVE EU size class (micro, small, medium or large of Commission Recommendation 2003/361/EC: staff under 10, 50 and 250, and turnover or balance sheet total up to EUR 2m, 10m and 50m, 43m for the balance sheet total) read from the latest annual accounts held (fiscal year 2022 or later) and the register head count; a class, never the figures, with eu_size.range (the classes still possible when the class is null), eu_size.basis, eu_size.autonomy (unverified, or group_member_known) and indicative true. Not a determination that a company is or is not an SME: the partner and linked-enterprise test cannot be applied (a known parent only floors the class; France INSEE category ETI or GE means large, PME at most medium), one year is read, the head count is the accounts average or the register, not annual work units. GB, RO, FR, EE, SE, DK, LV and NO give a class; LT and FI (no head count) a range, or large; null for sole proprietorships (ENK, EI), Brazil, Colombia and every other country. fiscal_year_end_month (1-12) is the month the latest annual accounts end, for every company of those countries with annual accounts held, whatever the fiscal year.
Input Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| abn | No | Australian Business Number (11 digits, e.g. 49004028077; an ABN prefix and spaces are optional) — exact match, with country AU. A wrong check digit is a 400 validation_error, and with any other country it is a 400. A company's ACN or ARBN goes in company_number. | |
| lei | No | Legal Entity Identifier (20 characters, ISO 17442 check) — exact match, in every live country (resolved through our GLEIF links to the company whose registration carries it; with country DE an alias of company_number for the LEI-registered entities). Not the Handelsregister. | |
| nif | No | Spanish NIF/CIF — exact match, e.g. A78053147. Alias of company_number. A NIF with entity letter A or B that finds nothing returns the company with the same digits under the other letter (match_type nif_other_letter): possibly another company, confirm the name. | |
| nip | No | Polish NIP (10 digits), exact match — use with country PL. The KRS number goes on company_number. | |
| oib | No | Croatian OIB (11 digits), exact match — use with country HR. The ISO 7064 check digit is verified and a wrong one is a 400. The MBS goes on company_number. | |
| vat | No | VAT number — exact match, with its country prefix or without (ES ESA28015865, FR FR+key+SIREN, PL PL+NIP, NO NO+number+MVA; a malformed or wrong-country value is a 400). Otherwise an alias of company_number. For country FI, the Finnish VAT number FI plus the eight digits of the Y-tunnus, e.g. FI01120389; for country SE, the Swedish VAT number SE plus the ten digits of the organisationsnummer and 01, e.g. SE556012579001; for country HR, the Croatian VAT number HR plus the eleven digits of the OIB, e.g. HR27759560625; for country BE, the Belgian VAT number BE plus the ten digits of the enterprise number, e.g. BE0417497106; for country DK, the Danish VAT number DK plus the eight digits of the CVR number, e.g. DK24256790; for country EE, the Estonian VAT number (KMKR) EE plus nine digits, e.g. EE100354546, where the register publishes it (it is not the registry code; a VAT group number can be shared by the members of the group, so a search can return more than one company); for country CH, the Swiss VAT number, the UID followed by MWST, TVA or IVA, e.g. CHE-103.867.266 MWST; for country LV, the Latvian VAT number, LV plus the eleven digits of the registration number, e.g. LV40003032949; for country RO, the Romanian VAT number, RO plus the CUI, e.g. RO5022670 (built by rule, the registration is not confirmed); for country LT, the Lithuanian VAT number, LT plus 9 or 12 digits, e.g. LT100538411, where the State Tax Inspectorate (VMI) lists the company; for country AU, the GST number, the eleven-digit ABN, e.g. 49004028077, found only while the ABN is active and registered for GST; for country TW, the unified business number, e.g. 22099131, where the company is in the Ministry of Finance tax file; Slovakia, Cyprus, the United States, Canada, Japan, Israel, Brazil, Colombia, Singapore and the Czech Republic have no VAT number, so vat is refused for country SK, CY, US, CA, JP, IL, BR, CO, SG and CZ. | |
| name | No | Company name — fuzzy normalized match. When no company matches at all, similar spellings come back (match_type fuzzy, similarity 0.6 or more, 0.45 in Spain, at most 10, meta.search_mode name_fuzzy). | |

| siret | No | French SIRET (14 digits). | |
| cursor | No | Pagination cursor — pass the previous response's pagination.next_cursor, unchanged, to fetch the next page (a company name search issues o:<n>, the rows already served). | |
| offset | No | Name search only: rows of the ranked pool to skip, the same as cursor o:<offset>. No effect on the other modes. | |
| status | No | Filter by the standard status, the same list in every country. Outside ES it must be combined with a name/company_number/siren/siret/nip/regon/oib. | |

One record per CNPJ root, with the head office's 14-character CNPJ (shown 00.000.000/0001-91; the 8-digit root finds it too); branches are not served.

The register has no address, share capital, contact, activity description or VAT number (a vat search is refused), and no liquidation state: liquidation, judicial liquidation and reorganisation are read from the company name and served as the status, and a cancelled registration is deregistered or merged. The registration may not be current although it reads active: last_renewal_year in registry_details is the last year it was renewed. company_name is the name without those markers and name_as_registered is the name as published. The activity code is the CIIU Rev.4 A.C. 4-digit code (CO-CIIU-REV4-AC), not a NACE code; a NACE Rev. 2 class (or only the NACE division) is derived from it through ISIC Rev. 4 where the official tables allow, and nace_derived marks it.

The activity code is SSIC 2020 (5 digits, SG-SSIC-2020; a legacy 4-digit code carries no scheme); a NACE Rev. 2 class (or only the NACE division) is derived from it through ISIC Rev. 4 where the official tables allow, and nace_derived marks it.

No VAT number: a vat search is refused. The activity code is CZ-NACE 2025. The IČO has eight digits and its check digit is advisory, so companies whose IČO fails it are served. The registering court and file number (for example B 1581, Městský soud v Praze) are in registry_details. Credit: Contains data from the public registers of the Czech Republic (Ministry of Justice, ISVR open data) and the Czech Statistical Office (RES, CC BY 4.0). Adapted by Prometiam. Netherlands (NL): LEI-registered entities with a KVK number (GLEIF golden copy, CC0 1.0), not the Dutch commercial register (Handelsregister, KVK); company number = the 8-digit KVK number, lei a second identifier; BV, NV, SE, cooperatives, SCE, OWM, CV and VOF only, no sole proprietorships, foundations, associations, public bodies, funds or branches; no officers, share capital, activity code, VAT number or financials; register-change events (none before 30 Oct 2026) and monitoring.

The second source is a partial layer declared by the market actors and not checked against the commercial register: status null (local_status unknown), no founding date, no register-change events; registry_details.source is gleif or mastr. Company records only: the company number is the 20-character LEI (ISO 17442 check) or, for the energy market register, the commercial-register entry with the court (HRB12653/FRANKFURT-AM-MAIN), searchable with company_number, lei, or register_number (HRB12653, optional register_court); no officers, share capital, activity code or VAT number (a vat search is refused), no registry-compliance signal and no financial statements; register-change events for the LEI-registered entities (name, status, legal form, registered address, none before the first load, October 2026) and monitoring are available.

Data changed: selected, joined and normalised by Prometiam. Defaults to first country in the API key allowlist. | |
| local_status | No | Filter by the register's own status value (for example dissolved for GB, radiated for FR). Not together with status; outside ES it needs a name or company_number, like status. | |
| has_risk_flag | No | Spain only. Return only companies carrying a published risk flag (currently the AEAT >€600,000 tax-debtor list). | |
| company_number | No | Registry identifier — exact match. Resolves per country: Spanish NIF/CIF (A78053147), French SIREN, UK Companies House number (00445790, SC123456), the IE/PL/NO registration number, for country FI a Y-tunnus such as 0112038-9 (the hyphen is optional; a wrong check digit is a 400), for country SE an organisationsnummer such as 556012-5790 (the hyphen is optional; a wrong check digit, or a third digit below 2, is a 400), for country HR an MBS such as 080000604 (a dropped leading zero is restored; the check digit is advisory, so only a wrong length is a 400), for country BE an enterprise number such as 0417.497.106 (the dots and spaces are optional; a wrong check digit is a 400), or for country DK a CVR number such as 24256790 (eight digits; the mod-11 check is advisory, so only a number that is not eight digits is a 400), for country LT a juridinio asmens kodas such as 110053842 (nine digits, the ninth a check digit; an LT prefix is a VAT number and is refused), for country CA a corporation number such as 426160-7 (the last digit is a check digit), for country AU an ACN or ARBN such as 004 028 077, for country JP a 13-digit corporate number such as 1180301018771 (the first digit is a check digit), for country IL a company number such as 520013954 (nine digits starting 51, 52 or 56), for country BR a CNPJ such as 33.000.167/0001-01 (the 8-digit root finds the head office), for country CO a NIT such as 900843898-9, for country SG a UEN such as 196800306E, for country TW a unified business number such as 22099131, for country CZ an IČO such as 45274649 (eight digits), for country DE the 20-character LEI such as W38RGI023J3WT1HWRP32 (ISO 17442 check), or for country US a state code and register number such as NY-4424185, CIK- and the SEC number such as CIK-0000320193, or LEI- and the 20-character LEI (no check digit; the dash is optional). | |
| register_court | No | Register court, with register_number and country DE: the city or the Amtsgericht (Frankfurt am Main, Amtsgericht München). Spellings of one court are read as the same court. | |
| risk_flag_type | No | Restrict to one flag type. registry_compliance also works for GB, IE and NO. | |
| business_number | No | Canadian Business Number (CRA, 9 digits, e.g. 847871746; a 15-character program account such as 847871746RC0001 names the same number) — exact match, with country CA. Several federal corporations can carry the same Business Number, so the answer is a list. With any other country it is a 400. | |
| register_number | No | German commercial-register entry, with country DE only: the register type (HRA, HRB, GnR, PR, VR, GsR) and the number, for example HRB12653 or HRB 12653. A number repeats across courts, so the answer is every court company with that number, from both German sources; narrow it with register_court. Any other country is a 400. |
