# List company competitors

`GET /v1/companies/{id}/competitors`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.particle.pro`
- URL: `https://api.particle.pro/v1/companies/{id}/competitors`
- Auth: one of:
  - API key in header `X-API-Key`
  - HTTP bearer

Returns a paginated list of competitors for a company, ordered by prominence (news coverage volume, market cap, podcast appearances, Wikidata notability) so the largest / most-newsworthy competitors come first. Each result includes a competitive basis describing the relationship. Identify the company by slug (e.g., 'apple'), domain, or ID.

## Path parameters

- `id` string, required: Company slug (e.g., 'apple'), domain (e.g., 'apple.com'), or ID

## Query parameters

- `limit` integer: Results per page
- `cursor` string: Opaque pagination cursor from previous response

## Response `200`

OK

- PageCompetitor
  - `cursor` string: Pass to next request for more results
  - `data` Competitor[], nullable, required: List of results
    - `company` Company, required
      - `description` string: Company description
      - `external_links` ExternalLink[], nullable: Known third-party profiles and identifiers (LinkedIn, social, domain, Wikidata, SEC CIK, tickers). Returned by GET /v1/companies/{id}; the list endpoint omits it.
        - `attributes` ExternalLinkAttribute[], nullable: Optional platform-specific metadata: audience size, profile fields, account status, and related signals. The set varies by platform and grows over time — clients should treat unknown attribute names as additive.
          - `category` string: Broad grouping for the attribute. Today's known values are audience_size, content, profile, and account_status — the set is open and may grow without a versioning event, so clients should treat unrecognised categories as additive rather than invalid.
          - `name` string, required: Platform-native attribute name (e.g. 'subscribers', 'followers', 'views', 'handle'). Vocabulary varies by platform; use Category to group related attributes if you don't recognise the Name.
          - `observed_at` string, date-time: When this attribute was last observed from the upstream source. Omitted when unavailable.
          - `value` unknown, required
        - `identifier` string: Platform-native identifier (numeric id, slug, handle, or full URL). Empty for the 'website' platform, where the URL is the canonical reference.
        - `platform` ExternalLinkPlatform, required
          - `display_name` string, required: Human-readable name suitable for UI display (e.g. 'Apple Podcasts', 'X (Twitter)').
          - `name` string, required: Stable machine name (e.g. 'spotify', 'youtube', 'twitter'). Suitable for filtering or routing on the client.
          - `type` 'podcast_directory' | 'music_service' | 'social_profile' | 'video_channel' | 'community' | 'website' | 'other', required: Broad category for the platform. Use this to group presences in a UI rather than enumerating every Name.
        - `url` string: Resolved web URL for this presence. Built from the identifier via a per-platform template, or passed through for 'website'.
      - `id` string, required: Unique identifier
      - `identifiers` CompanyIdentifiers
        - `cik` string: SEC Central Index Key
        - `domain` string: Company domain
        - `entity` EntityCompact
          - `company` EntityCompany
            - `domain` string: Company website domain
            - `id` string, required: Company identifier
            - `ticker` string: Primary stock ticker symbol
          - `description` string: Short description
          - `id` string, required: Entity ID
          - `image_url` string: Entity image URL
          - `name` string, required: Entity name
          - `person` EntityPerson
            - `company` string: Current company name
            - `id` string, required: Person identifier
            - `image_url` string: Person headshot URL
            - `title` string: Current role title
          - `slug` string, required: Human-readable slug identifier
          - `type` EntityType
            - `name` string, required: Human-friendly display label (e.g. 'Company').
            - `slug` string, required: Stable identifier, safe to pass to the type query parameter (e.g. 'company').
          - `wikipedia_url` string: Wikipedia URL
        - `qid` string: Wikidata QID
        - `ticker` string: Primary stock ticker symbol
      - `image_url` string: Company logo or image URL, when available.
      - `name` string, required: Company name
      - `slug` string: Stable human-readable handle (the linked knowledge-graph slug, e.g. 'nvidia'), when known. Companies have no slug of their own; prefer this for display and pass it (or id) to /v1/companies.
      - `updated_at` string, date-time: Last updated timestamp
    - `competitive_basis` string: Rationale for the competitive relationship
  - `has_more` boolean, required: Whether more results exist

## Other responses

- `402`: Payment Required. Read error_code. payment_required is the x402 path: either a keyless request being challenged — pay $0.03 in USDC per request (requirements in the PAYMENT-REQUIRED header) or send a pp_ API key — or a supplied payment that failed settlement (details in the PAYMENT-RESPONSE header; retry the same signature before signing a new one). See https://docs.particle.pro/x402. Any other code means the credential was accepted but does not cover this request (a plan or session gate such as premium_required or paid_plan_confirmation_required); its resolve says how to obtain access, and no payment header is sent.
- `default`: Error
