# /ean/{ean}

`GET /v1/ean/{ean}`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.companydata.dk` (the document declares no server; this is the origin it was published from)
- URL: `https://api.companydata.dk/v1/ean/{ean}`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

Look up an EAN number (GLN location number) used for electronic invoicing.

Returns who receives documents on that EAN, the CVR number behind it,
which document kinds and invoice formats it accepts (OIOUBL, Peppol BIS
Billing 3.0 and others), and the company as we hold it. Endpoints that
have left the Peppol Directory are still returned with `active: false`.

## Path parameters

- `ean` string, required: EAN (GLN) number, usually 13 digits

## Query parameters

- `include` string, nullable: Set to document_types to include the raw Peppol document type identifiers

## Response `200`
