What is a company data API?

A company data API returns structured company records on request, so you can look up or enrich a business in real time from your own application. The InfobelPRO company data API returns registry-sourced records across 200+ markets as JSON.

How do I authenticate?

A bearer token on every request over HTTPS.

What format does the API return?

JSON, with a unified schema across all markets, so one integration works everywhere.

Around 20ms average response time. The Caller ID endpoint is guaranteed under 100ms.

Yes. Every call queries the live dataset and returns a current record.

Which endpoints are available?

Company Data, VAT Validation, KYB / Verification, Group Structure, Caller ID and Location / POI. All query the same dataset.

How is registry-sourced company data different from scraped data?

Registry-sourced data traces to official business registries rather than being scraped from web profiles. That makes identity fields like the national ID and legal name authoritative, not best-guess matches.

API or files, which should I use?

The API for live, single-record lookups inside an application. Files for bulk or one-off datasets you load yourself. Many teams use both.

Can I try it before committing?

API or files?

Query live, or hold the dataset.

Choose the API when your application needs a verified record on demand, one at a time, as it is needed. Choose files when you want a set of records to hold and process on your side, whether a full bulk dataset kept refreshed or a one-off slice. Many teams use both: files to load and maintain the core dataset, the API to keep specific records fresh live.
