GET
Company Search

Overview

The Company Search API resolves a company from a single input. It could be a name, website or UUID and returns core identity and classification fields. The backend automatically detects the input type, so callers don’t need to specify whether they’re passing a name, domain or identifier. This is a free endpoint and does not consume credits. Results are returned in the API response.
