What data does the Prometiam company data API cover?

Company data across six 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), Poland from the KRS (732K+ companies, company-level), and Norway from Enhetsregisteret at Brønnøysundregistrene (1.17M+ companies, with officers and directors), 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), Poland (KRS), and Norway (Enhetsregisteret) 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 six countries are included in every tier at no upcharge.

What sanctions lists are screened?

Six sources in one trigram-fuzzy call with confidence scoring: EU consolidated, UN, US OFAC SDN, UK OFSI, the French Registre des gels, and the US Consolidated Screening List (export-control lists including the BIS Entity List and Denied Persons). Refreshed daily, with optional watchlist webhooks on the Professional tier and above.

Does registries.io have an API?

Not as at 28 July 2026. Its homepage advertises a JSON API as "coming soon", and no developer documentation is published. If you need to query European company data programmatically today, that is the deciding difference — Prometiam has a live REST API with an OpenAPI spec and an MCP server. Re-check their site before relying on this, since a coming-soon feature can ship at any time.

Which countries does each cover?

registries.io documents six countries with named registers: Austria, Czechia, Germany, the UK, Lithuania and Poland. Its homepage banner states 20 countries, but only those six have registry pages. Prometiam covers six live registries — Spain, France, the UK, Ireland, Poland and Norway — so the only overlap is the UK and Poland.

What does registries.io cost?

It does not publish pricing. Company search is free and a free account unlocks fuller PDF reports; there is no published paid tier. Prometiam publishes every tier: Free at 1,000 calls per month, Starter €9.99, Professional €29.99, Scale €99.99, and custom Enterprise.

Does registries.io do sanctions screening?

No sanctions capability appears anywhere on its site. Prometiam includes screening against five sanctions lists (EU, UN, OFAC, UK OFSI, French gels) plus 11 US export-control lists — 44,000+ active designations, refreshed daily.

Is live registry lookup better than a daily-refreshed database?

It is a genuine trade-off, not a clear win either way. Live lookup means a record is never stale but every query depends on the source registry being up and fast, and bulk or cross-country queries are hard. A daily-refreshed normalized database like Prometiam gives fast search, cross-country joins, historical event timelines and monitoring, at the cost of being up to a day behind the registry.

registries.io Alternative

An honest comparison for teams weighing registries.io against Prometiam. These are products at different stages and of different shapes. registries.io is a web tool for looking up a company and generating a PDF report — directors, ownership and addresses — from official European registries, built by the team behind TransactionLink. As at 28 July 2026 its JSON API is advertised as "coming soon" and is not yet available, and it publishes no pricing. Prometiam is a REST API that is live today, with published pricing and a free tier.

The practical difference right now

If you need to programmatically query European company data today, Prometiam has an API and registries.io does not yet. If you need a human to look up a company and download a report, registries.io does that free, and covers Germany, Czechia, Lithuania and Austria — none of which Prometiam holds.

Where registries.io is genuinely ahead

Poland. Its Poland page lists six linked registers including CRBR (the Polish beneficial-ownership register) and KRZ (the National Register of Debtors). Prometiam serves Polish companies from the KRS but has no Polish directors or UBO — that is a real gap on our side, and we would rather say so than hide it. registries.io also documents Germany, Czechia, Lithuania and Austria, and the England & Wales Charity Register, none of which Prometiam covers.

Where Prometiam is ahead

A live REST API with an OpenAPI spec, an MCP server and published pricing (€0 / €9.99 / €29.99 / €99.99). Six live registries — Spain, France, the UK, Ireland, Poland and Norway — with officers, appointment history and normalized corporate events. Sanctions and US export-control screening across 44,000+ active designations, refreshed daily. Corporate insolvency across eight markets including Germany.
