Introduction

The GetDataUnit REST API allows you to retrieve structured information about a company's local units. This is useful when you need unit-level data in CRM, ERP, onboarding workflows, or customer-facing applications.

GetDataUnit returns JSON and is designed for integrations where you need reliable company unit information that can be mapped into your own data model.

Purpose

GetDataUnit helps you:

  • Retrieve company unit details for display, validation, and enrichment
  • Populate internal systems with consistent unit-level information
  • Support downstream workflows that depend on accurate registered unit data

Use Cases

Typical use cases include:

  • Showing unit information in CRM or ERP interfaces
  • Validating a unit before creating or updating records
  • Enriching customer master data with structured unit details
  • Supporting automated onboarding and review processes

Important Information

Integration Support

The Integration team is available to assist with technical questions during development and post-launch. You can reach them at integration@creditsafe.se

Key Considerations

JSON Communication:

  • GetDataUnit is a REST API that communicates using JSON
  • The responsibility to map and handle the response lies with the customer

Handling Missing Data:

  • Returned parameters, lists, or objects may be empty
  • Returned parameters, lists, or objects may be omitted from the response
  • Ensure your integration handles both empty values and missing fields safely

API Evolution:

  • Creditsafe may add new information, tags, or attributes to the service at any time without prior notice
  • Existing elements will not be removed without notification in advance
  • The order of elements in the JSON response is not guaranteed to be consistent across requests
Sequential Requests Recommended

Implementations using this service should primarily process requests sequentially, particularly when handling batch operations with large request volumes. Sequential processing helps ensure predictable behaviour and optimal use of the service.

A limited degree of parallelism is supported; however, client implementations must be designed to tolerate temporary request throttling if traffic exceeds allowed thresholds. Clients are expected to pause request execution and resume once additional requests can be accepted.

Creditsafe reserves the right to restrict access for implementations that generate excessive load or do not properly handle enforced request limitations. Please read more about rate limiting in the section about error codes.

Authentication Required

Before using GetDataUnit, you must authenticate using the CONNECT Authenticate API. The generated JWT token is valid for 1 hour and can be used across Creditsafe Sweden REST APIs.

Authentication endpoint:

POST https://connect.creditsafe.com/v1/authenticate

See the Authenticate API documentation for details.
