What data does the Prometiam Risk Intelligence API cover?

Company data across five countries: Spain from the official BORME registry (3.8M+ entities), France from BODACC (12.4M+ entities), the UK from Companies House (7.6M+ entities including 12M+ Persons with Significant Control), Ireland from the CRO (817K+ companies, company-level), and Poland from the KRS (732K+ companies, company-level), plus insolvency notices, sanctions and US export-control screening, and corporate event timelines. Data updates daily from primary sources.

Is the API GDPR-compliant and hosted in the EU?

Yes. All data is hosted in AWS eu-central-1 (Frankfurt, Germany). No data leaves the EU. The platform is GDPR-compliant, ISO 27001 aligned, and operates under EU data residency rules.

How is Prometiam different from Pappers, Societe.com, or Creditsafe?

Prometiam is API-first, EU + UK-native, and transparent: pricing is public (Free, €9.99, €29.99, €99.99, Enterprise), and data covers Spain (BORME), France (BODACC), the UK (Companies House), Ireland (CRO), and Poland (KRS) under one unified schema and a single API key. No per-user seat fees, no 'contact sales' for a quote.

What API endpoints are available?

GET /companies/search, /companies/{id}, /people/{id}, /notices/{id}, /company-events/search, /company-events/timeline, /search (insolvency), /records/{id}, /sanctions/screen, /coverage, and /account. Full docs at https://www.prometiam.com/risk-api/docs

How do I get an API key?

Sign up at https://www.prometiam.com/signup to receive an rk_live_ key. The Free plan includes 1,000 calls/month with no credit card required.

How much does the Prometiam Risk API cost?

Pricing is public and self-serve: Free (1,000 calls/month, no credit card), Starter (€9.99/month, 10,000 calls), Professional (€29.99/month, 100,000 calls with full sanctions screening), Scale (€99.99/month, 1,000,000 calls), and Enterprise (custom). All five countries are included in every tier at no upcharge.

What sanctions lists are screened?

Five consolidated lists in one trigram-fuzzy call with confidence scoring: EU consolidated, UN, US OFAC SDN, UK OFSI, and the French Registre des gels. Refreshed daily, with optional watchlist webhooks on the Professional tier and above.

Is Prometiam cheaper than Kyckr?

For EU + UK use cases, almost always. Prometiam has public tier pricing (€0 / €9.99 / €29.99 / custom) with fixed monthly quotas. Kyckr bills per API call and per live document retrieval on quote-based terms, so cost scales with volume and document pulls. For steady EU + UK KYB volume, Prometiam is materially cheaper and predictable.

Does Prometiam cover the same countries as Kyckr?

No. Prometiam covers Spain, France, and the United Kingdom today, plus Ireland (CRO) and Poland (KRS) at company level — more EU markets on the roadmap. Kyckr connects to 300+ registries across 100+ countries. If you need registry documents outside EU + UK, Kyckr is the right tool.

Does Prometiam do UBO / beneficial ownership like Kyckr?

Only for the UK. Prometiam serves 12.3M UK PSC (Persons with Significant Control) beneficial owners from Companies House. For Spain, France, Ireland, and Poland there is no real beneficial-owner data. Kyckr traces UBO across many countries from official shareholder data, so for cross-border UBO it is stronger.

Can Prometiam replace Kyckr for KYB onboarding?

For EU + UK counterparties, yes. The /companies/search and /sanctions/screen endpoints cover the registry-verification + sanctions-screen leg of KYB, and UK PSC covers UK beneficial ownership. If you need live official filings or UBO documents outside the UK, keep Kyckr for that leg.

Does Prometiam retrieve official registry documents like Kyckr?

No. Prometiam serves normalized, daily-refreshed structured registry data via REST, not on-demand retrieval of stamped official filing documents. If your workflow requires the authoritative source document (e.g. for audit or legal), Kyckr is the better fit.

Is Prometiam GDPR-compliant?

Yes. Data is hosted in the EU (Frankfurt). Officer data is processed under GDPR Article 6(1)(c) (legal obligation of public registries) and Article 6(1)(f) (legitimate interest in fraud prevention).

Kyckr Alternative

An honest comparison for teams weighing Kyckr against Prometiam for EU + UK company data, KYB, and UBO verification. Kyckr is a global business-register gateway — the right choice if you need live official filings and beneficial-owner documents pulled directly from 300-plus registries across 100-plus countries, or authoritative registry documents in markets outside Europe. Prometiam is a leaner EU + UK-native REST API with public pricing, a free tier, daily-fresh data, and sanctions plus US export-control screening included.

Why teams look for an alternative

Common reasons: pay-per-call pricing that is not published, cost that scales with live document retrieval, enterprise sales-led onboarding, and paying for 100-plus-country registry connectivity when the scope is only EU + UK.

What Prometiam covers

One schema over official registries — Spain (BORME), France (BODACC), and the UK (Companies House, with 12.3M PSC beneficial owners), plus Ireland (CRO) and Poland (KRS) at company level only. Daily updates, corporate-event data, and sanctions plus US export-control screening across six sources (EU, UN, OFAC, UK OFSI, French gels, and the US Consolidated Screening List) covering 44,000-plus active entities. No PEP or adverse-media. UBO is real only for the UK (PSC); ES/FR/IE/PL have no beneficial-owner data.

Honest trade-offs

Prometiam: public pricing (€0 / €9.99 / €29.99 / custom), free tier, monthly on SMB tiers, sanctions included on Professional, EU residency (Frankfurt), daily-fresh normalized data.
Kyckr: 300-plus registries in 100-plus countries, live official filings and documents, and cross-border UBO discovery from official shareholder data. If you need authoritative registry documents outside EU + UK, or on-demand UBO documents in more countries, Kyckr fits better.
