Search first and select the correct company ID. Then call POST /api/v1/investigations with that ID, the search inputs and a unique runId. The report includes available UBO findings, ownership paths, shareholders, senior-officer candidates and group context. A processing response includes instructions for resuming the same run.
Ownership investigations use paid report credit. A one-off report costs $30; monthly plans are listed on the pricing page. Resuming the same run and retrieving its saved report do not use another report credit. API keys and the dashboard use the same workspace report balance.
Availability varies by company and jurisdiction. Check Our data for coverage and the API documentation for the exact response fields. Reports include available sources, dates and incomplete branches. Financial statements, credit scores, sales contacts and sanctions screening are not exposed by these API endpoints.
Embedding, redistribution and resale can be licensed for your product. Contact our team with the datasets, countries and intended customer use so the agreement covers those rights. A free account lets you test the API; it does not grant redistribution rights.
