The Credit and Risk API provides access to a comprehensive suite of endpoints designed to deliver critical business insights. This API enables users to authenticate, search for companies and directors, retrieve detailed credit and risk reports, access official company filing documents, and manage fresh investigation requests for companies not available in the instant database.
Endpoints to retrieve the structure of the Company and Director Search Criteria, Report Schemas, and available Report Languages for a specific country.
These endpoints provide the necessary information to validate responses, understand search parameters, and determine localization options for reports.
Endpoints to search for Companies in the Creditsafe Global Company Database. Companies are uniquely identified by the connectId - the identifier used to order a Company Credit Report. The Company Credit Report is a JSON object comprising of key business and financial data points such as Credit Score & Limit, Industry Code, Directors, Balance Sheet and Negative Information. A full list of Company data points can be found in the Data Matrix, in the help resources.
Endpoints to find People/Directors and order Director Reports. A Director Report will contain a person's registered information and Active & Previous Directorships, where available. This endpoint is not advised to get a list of directors for a specific Company. Instead, order a Company Credit Report using the /companies/{id} endpoint, and use the directors section in the response.
Endpoints to order official Company Image/Filing Documents from source. Company Filings such as Annual Account Statements, Annual Returns, Liquidations and Changes of Registered Information can be downloaded as PDFs, and are typically used as a resource in extended company auditing/compliance.
Endpoints to manage Fresh Investigation requests. With the need for accurate data, you can check on any company that is not available within our instant online database by placing a Fresh Investigation (Offline Order). Depending on the market, the information we obtain will vary. Using official sources and registries we are able to quickly answer questions about a company's stability and financial health. Where official information is not available we will conduct a direct interview with the business.
