Look up a US company by name, state registration number, SEC CIK or LEI and get the same response shape as every European country the API covers. The United States has no national company register, so the API joins the business registers of New York, Colorado, Connecticut and Pennsylvania with the SEC's EDGAR filers and GLEIF's LEI holders.
What is covered: company records from the business registers of New York, Colorado, Connecticut and Pennsylvania, plus SEC filers (EDGAR) and LEI holders (GLEIF) from every state, Delaware included. One record per state registration, domestic or foreign. New York and Pennsylvania publish active entities only. Updated weekly. No officers and no registry-compliance signal, with register-change events (dated by the weekly read) and monitoring; no VAT number (a vat search is refused); US insolvency notices are on /insolvency/search and are not linked to the company records; sole proprietorships are never served. Not every US company is covered: outside those states only SEC filers and LEI holders appear.
