Reference - Company Search API

Suggest Edits

The Company Search API is perfect for finding specific segments of companies that you need to power your projects and products. It gives you direct access to our full Company Dataset. There are many degrees of freedom, which allow you to find any kind of company with a single query.

Endpoint

The endpoint for the Company Search API is https://api.peopledatalabs.com/v5/company/search.

Company Search API Access and Billing

We charge per record retrieved. Each company record in the data array in the response counts as one credit against your total package.

Requests

See Authentication and Requests to learn how to input requests. We recommend using a JSON object to capture request parameters and will do so in the examples.

Rate Limiting

The current default rate limit is 10 requests per minute.
