Germany (DE) is company-level, from two sources, one record per company: LEI-registered entities (the Global Legal Entity Identifier Foundation (GLEIF) golden copy), plus companies listed in the energy market register (Marktstammdatenregister, Bundesnetzagentur) with their commercial-register entry that no LEI record holds; this is not the German commercial register (Handelsregister) and not every German company. Company records: legal name, legal form, status, registered address, identifiers and dates; the company number is the 20-character LEI (ISO 17442 check), or for an energy-market-register company its commercial-register entry with the court (HRB12653/FRANKFURT-AM-MAIN); lei is an alias of the LEI, and register_number (with an optional register_court) finds a company by its commercial-register entry. registry_details.source is gleif or mastr. An energy-market-register company is as declared by its market actor and not checked against the commercial register: its status is null (local_status unknown; registry_details.mastr_activity is the energy-market activity, not the company), it has no founding date and no register-change events. No officers, share capital, activity code or VAT number (a vat search is refused), no registry-compliance signal and no financial statements; register-change events for the LEI-registered entities (name, status, legal form, registered address, none before the first load, October 2026) and monitoring are available.

German corporate insolvency notices are served separately (Germany is one of the fifteen insolvency markets) and are not linked to these records. Credit: Contains LEI data from the Global Legal Entity Identifier Foundation (GLEIF), available under CC0 1.0. Not an extract of the German commercial register (Handelsregister). A record from the energy market register also carries: Contains data from the Marktstammdatenregister of the Bundesnetzagentur (https://www.marktstammdatenregister.de/MaStR/Datendownload), licensed under the Datenlizenz Deutschland – Namensnennung – Version 2.0 (dl-de/by-2-0, https://www.govdata.de/dl-de/by-2-0). Data changed: selected, joined and normalised by Prometiam. Declared by the market actors and not checked against the commercial register; not an extract of the German commercial register (Handelsregister).

Company name (normalized pattern match). Spain: also matches the names a company's LEI record gives (the short name in brackets of its legal name, other and transliterated names), so the listed parent of a group is found by the group's name; a row with no NIF and no BORME entry ranks after every other row.

Spanish company NIF (CIF) — exact match, e.g. A28015865: an entity letter (ABCDEFGHJNPQRSUVW), seven digits and a control character that matches the digits (a digit or its letter). A personal DNI or NIE, a malformed value or a wrong control character is a 400. Alias of company_number.

VAT number — exact match, written with its country prefix or without (spaces, dots and dashes are ignored): ES ESA28015865 or the NIF, FR FR + two-digit key + SIREN (the key is verified) or the SIREN, PL PL + NIP or the NIP, NO NO + number + MVA or the number. A malformed or wrong-country value is a 400; GB and IE hold no VAT number, SK, CY and US refuse vat. Otherwise an alias of company_number. For country=HR it is the Croatian VAT number, HR plus the eleven digits of the OIB, e.g. HR27759560625. For country=BE it is the Belgian VAT number, BE plus the ten digits of the enterprise number, e.g. BE0417497106. For country=DK it is the Danish VAT number, DK plus the eight digits of the CVR number, e.g. DK24256790. For country=EE it is the Estonian VAT number (KMKR), EE plus nine digits, e.g. EE100354546; it is a separate number from the registry code, so it resolves only where the register publishes it. For country=CH it is the Swiss VAT number, the UID followed by MWST, TVA or IVA, e.g. CHE-103.867.266 MWST; it resolves to the same company as the UID. For country=LV it is the Latvian VAT number, LV plus the eleven digits of the registration number, e.g. LV40003032949, where the State Revenue Service lists the company as a VAT payer. For country=RO it is the Romanian VAT number, RO plus the CUI, e.g. RO5022670, built by rule (the registration is not confirmed). For country=SK and country=CY a vat search is refused: the Slovak register carries no VAT number. For country=US a vat search is refused: there is no US VAT number. For country=LT it is the Lithuanian VAT number, LT plus 9 or 12 digits, e.g. LT100538411, where the State Tax Inspectorate (VMI) lists the company. For country=AU it is the GST number, the eleven-digit ABN with a valid check, e.g. 49004028077, found only while the ABN is active and registered for GST. For country=TW it is the unified business number, e.g. 22099131 (TW in front is optional), where the company is in the Ministry of Finance tax file. For country=CA, JP, IL, BR, CO, SG, CZ and DE a vat search is refused: those registers hold no VAT number.

Australian Business Number (11 digits, e.g. 49004028077; an ABN prefix and spaces are optional) — exact match, with country=AU. The ABN check is verified: a wrong one is a 400 validation_error, and with any other country it is a 400. A company's ACN or ARBN goes in company_number.

Canadian Business Number (CRA, 9 digits, e.g. 847871746; a 15-character program account such as 847871746RC0001 names the same number) — exact match, with country=CA. Several federal corporations can carry the same Business Number, so the answer is a list. A malformed value is a 400 validation_error, and with any other country it is a 400.

French SIREN (exactly 9 digits; anything else is a 400)

French SIRET (exactly 14 digits; anything else is a 400)

Polish NIP (10 digits, check digit verified: a wrong one is a 400), exact match. Use with country=PL; the KRS number stays on company_number.

Polish REGON (9 or 14 digits, check digit verified: a wrong one is a 400), exact match. Use with country=PL.

Croatian OIB (11 digits), exact match, e.g. 27759560625. Use with country=HR; the ISO 7064 check digit is verified and a wrong one is a 400. The MBS stays on company_number.

Registry identifier — exact match. A malformed value is a 400 validation_error, never an empty 200. Resolves per country: Spanish company NIF/CIF (A28015865; entity letter, seven digits, valid control character; a wrong one is a 400), French SIREN (nine digits), UK Companies House number (00445790, SC123456), the IE (up to seven digits), PL (ten-digit KRS) or NO (nine-digit organisasjonsnummer) registration number, for country=FI the Y-tunnus (0112038-9; the hyphen is optional and the check digit is verified), for country=SE the ten-digit organisationsnummer (556012-5790; the hyphen is optional and the check digit is verified), for country=HR the nine-digit MBS (080000604; a dropped leading zero is restored and the check digit is advisory), for country=BE the ten-digit enterprise number (0417.497.106; the dots and spaces are optional and a wrong check digit is a 400), for country=DK the eight-digit CVR number (24256790; spaces and hyphens are optional and the mod-11 check is advisory, so only a number that is not eight digits is a 400), for country=EE the eight-digit registry code (10060701; spaces and hyphens are optional and the check digit is enforced, so a wrong one is a 400), for country=US the state code and register number (NY-4424185, CO-20091096973, CT-0292920, PA-0007065008, DE-10684990), CIK- with the SEC number (CIK-0000320193) or LEI- with the 20-character LEI (the dash is optional, a CIK may drop its leading zeros; there is no check digit, so only a malformed one is a 400), for country=SK the eight-digit IČO (35763469; a six or seven digit number is read with its leading zeros and the mod-11 check is advisory, so only a number that is not six to eight digits is a 400), or for country=CH the UID (CHE-103.867.266; CHE plus nine digits, separators and a MWST, TVA or IVA suffix are optional and the check digit is enforced, so a wrong one is a 400), or for country=LV the registration number (40003032949; 11 digits, an LV prefix is optional and the mod-11 check is enforced, so a wrong one is a 400; the oldest 9-digit codes carry no check digit), or for country=CY the registration number (HE165; HE for a company, AE for an overseas company, up to nine digits, bare digits mean HE; no check digit), or for country=RO the CUI (5022670; 2 to 10 digits, an RO prefix is optional; the check digit is advisory, so a mismatch is not an error; a 13-digit personal code is a 400), or for country=LT the legal entity code (110053842; nine digits, the check digit is enforced; LT in front is a VAT number and a 400), or for country=CA the corporation number (426160-7; 2 to 8 digits, written NNNNNN-N, the check digit is advisory; nine digits is a Business Number and a 400), or for country=AU the ACN or ARBN (004 028 077; nine digits, the check digit is enforced; eleven digits is an ABN and a 400), or for country=JP the 13-digit corporate number (1180301018771; the check digit is enforced; a T in front and full-width digits are read), or for country=IL the company number (520013954; nine digits starting 51, 52 or 56, the check digit is advisory), or for country=BR the CNPJ (33.000.167/0001-01 or 33000167000101; 14 characters, the check digits are enforced; the 8-digit root, 33000167, finds the head office; an 11-digit CPF is a 400), or for country=CO the NIT (900843898-9; nine digits starting 8 or 9, the verification digit is computed when left out and a typed one must match), or for country=SG the UEN (196800306E; the check letter is enforced; an eight-digit business UEN is a 400), or for country=TW the unified business number (22099131; eight digits, leading zeros kept, the check digit is advisory), or for country=CZ the IČO (45274649; eight digits, the check digit is advisory), or for country=DE the LEI (W38RGI023J3WT1HWRP32; 20 characters, the ISO 17442 check is enforced). For country=DE the company number is an LEI (20 characters, check digits verified) or, for a company of the energy market register, its commercial-register entry with the court in the form of the insolvency notices (HRB12653/FRANKFURT-AM-MAIN; HRB 12653 Frankfurt am Main is read as the same entry); a register number without its court is searched with register_number.

Legal Entity Identifier (20 characters, ISO 17442 check digits verified: a wrong one is a 400 validation_error), exact match, with country=DE: an alias of company_number for the LEI-registered entities (GLEIF). A German company from the energy market register has no LEI here; find it with company_number (its commercial-register entry) or register_number. Not the Handelsregister. Accepted only where a country has it (DE); with any other country it is a 400.

German commercial-register entry, with country=DE only: the register type (HRA, HRB, GnR, PR, VR or GsR) and the number, for example HRB12653 or HRB 12653 (a court-area suffix such as the B of Berlin is ignored). A register number repeats across courts, so the answer is every court's company with that number, from both German sources (LEI-registered entities and companies of the energy market register); narrow it with register_court, or write the court beside the number (HRB 12653 Frankfurt am Main). The entry is in registry_details (register_type, register_number, register_court) and as an identifier of type register_number. With any other country it is a 400.

Register court, with register_number and country=DE: the city or the Amtsgericht (Frankfurt am Main, Amtsgericht München). Spellings of one court are read as the same court (Freiburg, Freiburg im Breisgau). A company whose register court is not stated is not returned when a court is given.

YYYY-MM-DD — return companies incorporated on or after this date. Works without a name: poll it daily for a newly-incorporated-companies feed and page via next_cursor.

YYYY-MM-DD — upper bound on incorporation date.

Only 'founding_date' is supported; applies when listing by incorporation date.

asc or desc (default desc).

CNAE-2009 activity code or prefix (e.g. 62 = programming/IT, 6201 = computer programming). Combine with founded_after for an activity-scoped new-company feed. Coverage ~20%.

Keyword in the company's objeto social (statutory business purpose), min 3 chars. Best signal for startup/sector scouting; coverage ~90%+.

Integer from 1 to 100. A value outside the range, or one that is not an integer, is a 400 validation_error with an X-Error-Code header; it is never clamped.

Spain only. Return only companies carrying a published risk flag (currently the AEAT >EUR600,000 tax-debtor list). For the registry-compliance signal use risk_flag_type=registry_compliance, which also works for GB, IE and NO.

Restrict to one flag type. registry_compliance (ES, GB, IE, NO) returns companies still on the register that have stopped meeting their filing duties, the state that precedes a forced strike-off: ES BORME sheet closure, GB strike-off proposal or overdue accounts, IE strike-off list, NO compulsory liquidation. The other types are Spain only.

Filter by the standard status (see Company.status), the same list in every country. Outside Spain it must be combined with name, company_number or another identifying parameter (siren, siret, nip, regon, oib): an unscoped status feed has no index to ride and is rejected with a 400. status=merged returns the Spanish companies absorbed into another. Replaces status_canonical, which now answers 400.

Filter by the register's own status value (see Company.local_status, for example "dissolved" for GB or "radiated" for FR). Use status or local_status, not both; an unknown value is a 400 that lists the values the register uses. Outside Spain it needs name or company_number, like status.
