Find companies by name or registration number
Resolve the right legal entity before you order a report.
API4ALL v3 exposes two search endpoints — by name and by registration number — scoped to country. Use the returned company code to order Credit, KYB and Structure reports from Infocredit’s database.
Search first, then report.
Every report order in API4ALL starts with a matched company code. The Company Search API lets you find that code through a name lookup or a registration-number lookup, scoped to the country you care about.
The endpoint returns candidate entities from Infocredit’s database, including the registered name, registration number and the unique code you need for the Credit, KYB and Structure report endpoints.
How the search API works.
Search by company name
POST /a4a/3.0/api/search/{country-code}/name/{name} — run a name lookup across the supported jurisdiction and receive a ranked list of candidate companies with a unique code.
Search by registration number
POST /a4a/3.0/api/search/{country-code}/reg-no/{reg-no} — resolve a business directly from its local company registration or tax identifier.
Country-scoped results
Every search is scoped to a two-letter country code, so results stay within the registry you expect and match local identifiers.
Unique company code
Each matched entity returns a company code used in subsequent report ordering and availability checks.
Where the search API fits.
KYB onboarding lookup

CRM enrichment
Pre-fill account records with registered name, legal form and jurisdiction from a single search.

Company search questions.
What is the API4ALL Company Search API?
It is the search layer of API4ALL v3. You can look up a company by registered name or by registration number within a country, and receive a unique company code that is used to order Credit, KYB and Structure reports.
Which countries are supported?
API4ALL covers 135+ countries. Each search endpoint is scoped to a country code; the response includes the matched entities available in Infocredit’s database for that jurisdiction.
What does the search response contain?
Responses include candidate company identity data such as registered name, registration number, country and a unique company code. The exact fields returned depend on what the source registry publishes.
How do I order a report after finding the company?
Use the company code from the search response with the Create Order endpoint to request a Credit, KYB or Structure report. You can also check report availability for the entity before ordering.
