How do I know what information is available at different registries?

When integrating with Kyckr, a matrix is provided detailing which fields in the Lite and Enhanced profiles are populated for each jurisdiction. High-level information can also be found using the Coverage Portal. If the company exists at the registry but does not appear in search, altering search terms may help. Simplify by removing suffixes (such as LTD, GmbH, Corp, etc) and double check the correct jurisdiction is being searched.

​
Does Kyckr format any data in responses?

Kyckr returns standard values for several key fields alongside the original registry data, so you can route logic consistently across jurisdictions. Currently standardised on V1:
  • normalizedLegalStatusField — entity state: Active, Inactive, Distressed. Returned alongside the raw legalStatusField.
  • Activity / industry codes — normalizedCodeField and normalizedDescriptionField on activity entries, where the registry provides them.
The raw registry string is always available in the corresponding non-normalised field, so finer detail is never lost. For the full list of values — including the 15 legalForm.normalized values and the totalCapital.type field available on the V2 API — see the Normalised values guide. Additional fields will be standardised over time. Yes, Kyckr has an endpoint that searches across a cached dataset of companies. Whilst this dataset is not updated in real-time, this type of search can help to find the jurisdiction for an entity. A real-time search on the specific jurisdiction can then be performed using Kyckr’s search API. Cache search guide

A registry that I need isn’t available in Test, what can I do?

With some registries, it is not possible for us to offer a Test service that matches the production capability of that registry. Need to see an example response for a particular registry? Want to be 100% certain that it works in Production? Don’t hesitate to reach out to us.
