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 and how many companies does it cover?

Six countries are live: Spain (BORME), France (BODACC), the UK (Companies House), Ireland (CRO), Poland (KRS), and Norway (Enhetsregisteret / Brønnøysundregistrene) — more than 26 million companies in total, refreshed daily. Live per-country counts are published at the /coverage endpoint.

What can the free tier do?

The free tier is 1,000 calls per month with no credit card. 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. You can screen any name against six sources — the EU consolidated list, UN, OFAC, UK OFSI, the French gels des avoirs, plus the US Consolidated Screening List of export-control lists — 44,000+ active entities, 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 and France 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 six separate integrations: Spain's BORME, France's BODACC, the UK's Companies House, Ireland's CRO, Poland's KRS, and Norway's Enhetsregisteret, each 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, covering more than 26 million companies across those six countries, refreshed daily.

What the article covers

Coverage table: Spain (~3.8M, profiles + officers + full event timeline), France (~12.4M), UK (~7.7M) — all with profiles and officers — Norway (~1.17M, profiles + officers, no event timeline), plus Ireland (~817K) and Poland (~732K), which are company-level only. Live counts are published at the /coverage endpoint.
Company lookup: curl and Python examples that search by name or national ID (NIF, SIREN, CRN, KRS, 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 and France, including Spain's "Declaración de deudor fallido" annotation.
LEI + GLEIF ownership and sanctions + US export-control screening across six sources (EU, UN, OFAC, UK OFSI, French gels, US Consolidated Screening List), 44,000+ active entities — PEP screening beta and Spain-only (no relatives or close associates), no adverse-media.

It closes with published pricing (Free 1,000 calls/mo, no card; Starter, Professional, Scale), the compliance drivers (MiCA, AMLR, ECCTA), and a public demo key you can run before signing up.
