How do I look up an Israeli company by company number from an API?

Call GET /companies/search?company_number=520013954&country=IL. Spaces, dots and hyphens are dropped and a Hebrew ח.פ. prefix is accepted. The check digit is advisory: a number that fails it is still looked up. A value that is not 9 digits starting 51, 52 or 56 is a 400 validation error.

Can I search Israeli companies by name in Hebrew?

Yes. The name search works in Hebrew and in English. Send the Hebrew name URL-encoded, for example name=%D7%98%D7%91%D7%A2 for טבע, and the English name for companies whose register entry has one.

Is the company number check digit enforced?

No. The check (alternating weights 1 and 2, the sum divisible by 10) is advisory because a registered number fails it. Validate in your form for a warning, but do not reject on it.

Does the Israeli record have a VAT number, an activity code or share capital?

No. The register data carries none of them.

Which Israeli entities does it cover?

Israeli companies (private and public) and registered foreign companies. Partnerships, cooperative societies, non-profit associations and sole traders are never served.

Can I call the API from the browser?

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

Is there a way to try it before signing up?

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

Israel company data API: look up and validate a company number

A customer types an Israeli company number or the first letters of a name, in Hebrew or in English; your form fills in the company name, legal form, status and registered address from the Corporations Authority. One key and one response shape, the same as every other country the API covers.

Company records from the Israeli Corporations Authority (Ministry of Justice): the company name in Hebrew and, where the register holds one, in English, legal form, status (including liquidation, receivership, restructuring and insolvency proceedings), registered address with the district, whether liability is limited, the government-company and public-benefit flags, and dates; updated daily. Israeli and registered foreign companies only. Partnerships, cooperative societies, non-profit associations and sole traders are other registers and are never served. No officers, no registry-compliance signal, no VAT number, no activity code, no share capital and no insolvency notices. Register-change events (name, status, legal form and registered address changes, dated when the change first appears in the register data, none before the first load in October 2026) and company monitoring are available.
