Company Check API: identity, financials & SEC filings in 1 call

One call answers "who is this company and what are its numbers?": legal name, LEI, registration number, status, legal form, registered address and (France, Finland, Estonia) industry and registration date, the key figures of its last fiscal years (revenue, operating profit, net income, equity, assets, cash, employees), the US listing and latest SEC filings, and for US banks the FDIC record. Every value links to the official record it came from. Built for AI agents doing research, KYB or due diligence, and for people who want a quick, sourced company profile.

Pricing (pay per event): $0.03 per company report. A lookup that finds nothing fails in seconds and costs nothing.

What you get

Use with AI agents (MCP)

Add this URL to your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, VS Code, ...) to load the Actor as a tool through the Apify hosted MCP server. It signs you in with OAuth or accepts Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_TOKEN>. It works once the Actor is live on the Apify Store.

For “Who is Novo Nordisk legally, and what were its revenue and net income in the last three years? Cite your sources.” the agent passes:

{ "query": "Novo Nordisk", "country": "DK", "maxYears": 3 }

one small JSON item (typically 3-8 KB), stable snake_case fields, ISO dates, numbers as numbers, null for unknown, a source URL per value. not_found and warnings say in plain words what is missing and why, so the agent never has to guess. Typical lookup time is 1-5 seconds after start-up; each source has a 20-second limit.

Or call the Apify API: POST https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/bosco_labs~company-check/run-sync-get-dataset-items with the input as JSON body. Cost: $0.03 per report.

HTTP API

Also on the Bosco Labs HTTP API (beta, test mode): same input and same rows as the Actor, $0.03 per company report from prepaid credits (max 1 report per call). Get a key with a $0.50 free trial; see prices and limits.

Sources, licence and limits

Which countries are covered?

Why is financials empty? See not_found: the company may file no machine-readable accounts (paper/PDF filings, very small companies, countries without an open accounts register), or it is a US company that files no 10-K (US banks: see bank.financials). Unlisted French companies are not covered: INPI's annual-accounts API needs an account, and the open INPI-derived "Ratios financiers" dataset files figures under the wrong fiscal year (checked against Danone's ESEF reports), so it is not used. Most Finnish companies file paper or PDF accounts, which are not open data.

Why is revenue null? The company didn't tag it: small UK and Danish companies often publish no profit and loss account or only gross profit. employees is usually null for ESEF reports, which rarely tag it.

A name gave the wrong company. Names are matched against GLEIF's register of legal entities (companies with an LEI; with country NO, FR or FI also the national register). When several entities share the name, a listed company (one filing ESEF reports) goes first, and candidates and a warning say there was a choice; without country that happens for any name shared by several entities. Check candidates, add country, or pass the LEI or registration number, which always resolve exactly. Write a US ticker in capitals (COKE) or with $; Coke is searched as a name.

Are figures consolidated? ESEF reports (listed companies) are consolidated group figures. National register accounts are the company's own statutory accounts; for Norway they are explicitly the company's own accounts, not the group's. financials.basis says which.

Insider buys and sells? This version counts Form 4 filings in the last 90 days (buys and sells together). For each transaction, use SEC Insider Trades.

Need more? Full statements with 16-25 metrics per year: Company Financials API (UK, DK, NO) and EU Annual Reports API (ESEF). Every SEC filing: SEC Filings Feed.

Personal data? Company-level data only. Names of directors, officers, board members, auditors or shareholders are never requested or output (the French register's dirigeants are never requested; Finland's open data has no persons, and the address's c/o line is dropped; the Estonian persons, shareholder and beneficial-owner files are never downloaded). Estonian sole traders (FIE) are left out of the index and name search, and a lookup by their code fails without a charge. Sole traders are natural persons: Norwegian ones are excluded from name search, French ones (entrepreneurs individuels) from name search and from lookups by SIREN, which fail without a charge; Finland's open data holds none. Sole proprietors with an LEI (GLEIF category SOLE_PROPRIETOR, any country) are never candidates and are refused without a charge.

How fresh is it? Live: every call reads the sources directly (GLEIF is updated several times a day, registers when companies file). Exception: Estonia's legal form, VAT number, activity and figures come from a weekly index of the register's daily open-data files (the date is in sources[].name); name, status and address are read live. FDIC figures are quarterly (Call Reports).

Licences and attribution? French data: Sirene (INSEE) and RNE (INPI) via the government's API Recherche d'entreprises, under the Licence Ouverte 2.0; each report's sources names the source and the date of its last update. Finnish data: PRH (Finnish Patent and Registration Office) open data under CC BY 4.0; not endorsed by PRH, and figures are re-labelled into the fields above, otherwise unchanged. Estonian data: e-Business Register (Registrite ja Infosüsteemide Keskus, RIK) open data under CC BY 4.0; figures re-labelled into the fields above and EMTAK labels kept in Estonian; not endorsed by RIK. US bank data: FDIC BankFind Suite (US government data); not endorsed by the FDIC. GLEIF data is CC0.
