How do I look up a Cypriot company by registration number from an API?

Call GET /companies/search?company_number=HE165&country=CY. The prefix is HE for a company or AE for an overseas company; bare digits are read as HE. A number that is malformed is a 400 validation error rather than an empty list.

Can I look up a Cypriot company by VAT number?

No. The register publishes no VAT number and it cannot be derived from the registration number, so a vat search with country=CY is refused with a 400. To check a Cypriot VAT number against VIES, use GET /vat/ followed by the number.

Is there a check digit?

No. Cypriot registration numbers carry none, so validation confirms the shape (HE or AE and up to nine digits without a leading zero), never that the company exists.

Does the Cypriot record include officers, company events or insolvency notices?

Company events yes; officers and insolvency notices no. Cyprus is company-level: legal name, legal form, status, registered address with the district and dates. There are no officers, no registry-compliance signal, no activity code, no share capital and no VAT number. Register-change events (name, status, legal form and registered address, dated when the change first appears in the register data, none before the first load in October 2026) and monitoring are available. Strike-off, liquidation and administration show in the status.

Which Cypriot entities does it cover?

Private companies, public companies, companies limited by guarantee and overseas companies. Trade names and partnerships are never served, so a lookup of one returns nothing even though it exists.

Can I search by a Greek name?

Yes. A name search accepts Greek letters as well as Latin ones.

Can I call the API from the browser?

You can, but a key in the browser is public. Proxy the search through your server, as in the sample above. Rate limits are per key.

Is there a way to try it before signing up?

Yes: the free registration number lookup runs the same call with a shared key.
