Response Fields

results[] Fields (Summary)

companyData (per result)

companyData follows the same contract as /api/companydata: status, profile, financials, officers, psc, error_message. See /Documentation/v2/CompanyData for full nested field details.

Root-level financial snapshot fields are not included in results[]. Use companyData.financials.company_financial_list for financial-year details.

Test key behavior: when test credentials are used, companyData.financials.company_financial_list is reduced to sample-year data, root-level SIC fields (sicCode1-4, sicCode1Text-4Text) are masked, and sensitive profile/officers/psc fields are redacted as "Not available when using Test key".

HTTP Response Codes

When financialFilters are invalid, the API returns a helpful 400 payload with per-filter details and suggested closest matches.
