regdata_germany_insolvency
Search Germany's official insolvency register by company or debtor name. Retrieve court, case number, publication date, seat, and Handelsregister reference, with clear reporting when a broad term matches too many announcements.
Instructions
Germany Insolvency Register Search (Insolvenzbekanntmachungen). Search Germany's official insolvency register (Insolvenzbekanntmachungen) by company or debtor name. Get court, case number, publication date, seat and the Handelsregister reference. When a term matches too many announcements the register declines to enumerate them - that "too many matches" state is reported as such and is NOT "no insolvencies"; narrow the query and re-run. No API key. Advanced fields beyond this schema are also accepted (regdata_describe lists them).
Input Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| city | No | Optional city to narrow the search (matches the debtor's registered seat or place of residence). | |
| name | No | The debtor to look up: a company name (e.g. "Wirecard") or a person's surname. Matched as a contains-search across the official insolvency register. Leave empty when using a watchlist. | |
| state | No | Optional filter by German state - narrows the search and helps a broad term stay under the register's 1,000-match cap. Use a name ("Bayern", "Nordrhein-Westfalen") or a code ("BY", "NW"). | NO_CODE |
| dateTo | No | End of the publication-date window (YYYY-MM-DD). Defaults to today. | |
| subject | No | Optional filter by the type of decision within the proceeding. | NO_CODE |
| dateFrom | No | Start of the publication-date window (YYYY-MM-DD). Defaults to two weeks ago. For a one-off historical check, widen this - a targeted name search returns matches from any date. Broad terms over long windows may hit the 1,000-match cap. | |
| maxItems | No | Optional cap on billed dataset items returned. | |
| firstName | No | Optional first name, to narrow an individual-debtor search. | |
| watchlist | No | A list of company names or surnames to check in one run. Ideal for scheduled monitoring - run this Actor daily against your counterparties and get any new insolvency publications. Overrides the single "name" field when set. | |
| exactMatch | No | Off (default): contains-search - the term is matched anywhere in the name. On: match the term exactly as typed (you may include the portal wildcard * yourself). | |
| maxResults | No | Maximum publications to export across all queries in this run. |
