`POST /companies/bio`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.pitchbook.com`
- URL: `https://api.pitchbook.com/companies/bio`
- Auth: API key in header `Authorization`

Retrieves key data points about specific company. This bulk call allows you to send multiple pbIds within a single API call. When Subscription per-item charging is enabled for the account, each newly retrieved item consumes credits at the same rate as the equivalent individual GET call; if the remaining balance is insufficient for the whole request, the call returns 402 and no data.
