Entities API details

Overview

The Entities API allows you to access information on over 1M records of private and public companies, institutional investors, regulatory bodies and agencies, advisory firms, sponsors, assets, and private investors. 

With this API you can find more information on entities you are not familiar with, and you can streamline and focus calls to other APIs using our proprietary unique identifier.  

The information for each entity includes general information, HQ details, operational industries and geographies, and identifiers. 

The API is delivered over HTTPS, conforms to RESTful principles, and returns JSON objects.
