Can I try the API without signing up?

Yes. There is a public, read-only demo key (rk_live_demo_publichn) that works on company search, company detail, director networks, LEI lookups, and the coverage endpoint. It is rate-limited and shared, so you can run every example before creating an account. Full event timelines and sanctions screening require your own key.

Which countries does it cover?

Live countries: Spain (BORME), France (BODACC), the UK (Companies House), Ireland (CRO), Poland (KRS), Norway (Enhetsregisteret / Brønnøysundregistrene), Finland (PRH/YTJ Kaupparekisteri), Sweden (Bolagsverket), Belgium (KBO/BCE), Denmark (CVR) and Croatia (Sudski registar), refreshed at least every business day, plus Estonia (e-Business Register), Slovakia (RPO), Switzerland (Zefix), Latvia (Register of Enterprises), Cyprus (DRCOR) and Romania (ONRC), plus Lithuania (JAR), Canada (Corporations Canada), Japan (National Tax Agency), Israel (Corporations Authority), Colombia (RUES) and Taiwan (GCIS) on working days, and, weekly or monthly, Australia (ASIC and the ABR), Singapore (ACRA), Brazil (CNPJ) and the United States (state registers, SEC EDGAR and GLEIF). Finland, Sweden, Belgium, Denmark, Estonia, Slovakia, Switzerland, Latvia, Cyprus, Romania, Croatia, Lithuania, Canada, Australia, Japan, Israel, Singapore, Colombia, Taiwan, Brazil and the United States are company records only. Live coverage is published at the /coverage endpoint.

What can the free tier do?

The free trial is 500 credits over 14 days with a card required and nothing charged for 14 days. It includes company search and full detail, director/officer networks, LEI/GLEIF lookups, VAT/VIES validation, insolvency-notice search, and corporate-event monitoring. Corporate-event timelines and person histories start on Starter (€9.99); full sanctions screening is on Professional (€29.99).

Does it include sanctions screening?

Yes, in beta. You can screen any name against six sources — the EU consolidated list, UN, OFAC, the UK Sanctions List (FCDO), the French gels des avoirs, plus the US Consolidated Screening List of export-control lists — with fuzzy trigram matching. Full screening is included on the Professional plan rather than sold as a separate product line.

How do I detect company insolvency?

For Spain, France and the UK the API exposes a chronological corporate-event timeline. Spain surfaces the tax authority’s "Declaración de deudor fallido" annotation — a formal declaration that a counterparty is an insolvent debtor — often earlier than a full insolvency filing. Polling the timeline daily turns it into an early-warning KYB watchlist.

One API for every EU + UK company registry

Answering one question about a company you're about to trade with — is it real, active, who runs it, and is it safe? — normally means a separate integration for every country, each registry with its own format, language, and access model. This product post explains how Prometiam unifies official EU + UK company registry data into a single REST endpoint, one schema, and one API key, refreshed at least every business day.

What the article covers

Coverage table: Spain, France and the UK with profiles, officers and corporate events; Norway with profiles and officers but no event timeline; Finland, Sweden, Belgium, Denmark, Estonia, Slovakia, Switzerland, Latvia, Cyprus, Romania, Croatia, Lithuania, Canada, Australia, Japan, Israel, Singapore, Colombia, Taiwan, Brazil and the United States as company records with register-change events and monitoring (no officers); Ireland and Poland as company-level records only. Live coverage is published at the /coverage endpoint.
Company lookup: curl and Python examples that search by name or national ID (for example NIF, SIREN, CRN, KRS or organisasjonsnummer) and pull a full structured profile — legal form, share capital, address, status, recent events.
Director networks: resolving a person or holding company to every entity they run — a high-signal pattern for shell-company and fraud detection.
Corporate events + insolvency early-warning: chronological event timelines for Spain, France and the UK (plus register-change events for Finland, Sweden, Belgium, Croatia, Denmark, Estonia, Slovakia, Switzerland, Latvia, Cyprus, Romania, Lithuania, Canada, Australia, Japan, Israel, Singapore, Colombia, Taiwan, Brazil and the United States), including Spain's "Declaración de deudor fallido" annotation.
LEI + GLEIF ownership and sanctions + US export-control screening (beta) across six sources (EU, UN, OFAC, UK, French gels, US Consolidated Screening List) — PEP screening beta and Spain-only (no relatives or close associates), no adverse-media.

It closes with published pricing (Free 500 credits over 14 days, card required, nothing charged for 14 days; Starter, Professional, Scale), the compliance drivers (MiCA, AMLR, ECCTA), and a public demo key you can run before signing up.
