Searching for a company
Guide API reference A search by company name or number must be performed in order to find a valid, registered legal entity using the API (GET /companies).
A KyckrId will be returned in the JSON response. Any additional API calls will use the KyckrId as the identifier for the company.
KyckrIds follow the format:
{jurisdiction}|{base64-encoded-reference}
For example:
GB|MTE2NTUyOTA
The kyckrId format may be subject to change in a future release and should not be used for persistent storage.
