Introduction

Welcome to the Company Watch Data API. Start integrating Company Watch Data by following our Getting started guide or jump straight into the documentation for each endpoint in the following product sections: UK Companies, Irish Companies, UK Directors Data, Irish Directors Data, UK Non-limited Businesses, Company Reports.

Monitor changes to UK and Irish companies by integrating our Company Monitoring API.

Getting Started

  1. Click here to request credentials to access the test site (the request form will open in a new window).
  2. Develop your integration, do data quality and acceptance testing against test.
  3. Once you’re ready to go live with your integration, request access to production.

Sites

The Company Watch Data API is hosted on multiple sites, each with a specific purpose.

Purpose URL
Production
For production use.
https://data.companywatch.net/
Test
Use for data quality testing. Accurate data, but the requests are rate-limited.
https://uat-data.companywatch.net/

Each site requires a different pair of credentials to access resources.

In the test environment you are only allowed 150 requests every 24 hours.

Registration

Register using the API access request form.

Once registered, you will be given credentials for the test environment. When you’re ready to go live with integration, contact us again to get access to production.

Interacting with the API

The Company Watch Data API is a RESTful service. All requests made to the service must be authenticated and be done over SSL. Responses are returned as JSON unless otherwise specified.

The examples provided in this document are demonstrated using cURL which should make understanding the functionality of the API easier.

Use your preferred HTTP client library for your platform to develop your integration. To work with JSON, we’ve provided a list of some recommended libraries for various platforms:

Language Library
Java Jackson
https://github.com/FasterXML/jackson
.NET json.net
https://github.com/JamesNK/Newtonsoft.Json
Scala json4s
https://github.com/json4s/json4s

Authentication

Use your supplied credentials to authenticate requests via Basic Authentication

curl 'https://data.companywatch.net/api/v1/uk/companies/1455001/info' \
  --get \
  --user username:password

Any requests made to the API must include authentication information. We currently support authentication using Basic Authentication over HTTPS. The credentials consists of a username and password pair.

Requests and Responses

Request parameters

Including/Excluding null-values

Applies to: all endpoints

By default, responses will return all fields for an endpoint even if the value of the field is unavailable. The value of a field may be null due to a lack of data or if the field is not applicable in a given context. For example: latestPeriodEndDate, an accounts-related item, would have a value of null for a company that has not filed its first set of accounts.

You can remove null-value fields from the response by including the following parameter in the request:

Parameter Type Description
includeNulls boolean Defaults to true to include null values in the response. false removes such fields.

Pagination

curl 'https://data.companywatch.net/api/v1/uk/directors' \
  --get \
  --user {credentials} \
  -d q=john+doe \
  -d limit=100 \
  -d offset=0
curl 'https://data.companywatch.net/api/v1/uk/directors' \
  --get \
  --user {credentials} \
  -d q=john+doe \
  -d limit=100 \
  -d offset=100

Applies to: selected endpoints

Pagination support is included on endpoints that may return a large list of objects as part of the response. On such endpoints, there will be at most one paginate-able array of objects. By default, endpoints will return the entire list of objects (with some exceptions).

Add the parameters limit and offset to the request to retrieve a sub-set of the results at a time. If you’re familiar with SQL the parameters work the same way.

Parameter Type Description
limit int The maximum number of rows to receive in the response.
offset int Defaults to 0. The number of rows to skip. If included in the request, the limit parameter must be included.

Endpoints supporting pagination return a pagination object as part of the response,

Field Type Description
total integer The total number of available items to paginate on.

Responses

Example of a successful response

{
  "id": "1234567",
  "pagination": {
    "total": 38
  },
  "response": {
    "registeredAddress": "...",
    "headOffice": null,
    "tradingAddresses": [
       {
          "address": "..."
       },
       {
          "address": "..."
       }
    ]
  }
}

An error message

{
  "message": "The requested resource does not exist."
}

Responses are divided into two categories: a success or an error.

Success

Successful responses return an HTTP code 200 and a JSON response with the following form (unless mentioned otherwise):

Field Type Description
id string This is the directorNumber identifier for a director, or the cinumber / cwid identifier for a company that this response belongs to.
pagination object Applicable to endpoints supporting pagination.
response object or an array of objects Depending on the endpoint, the contents of the response field may contain a single object or an array of objects.

Error

Unsuccessful responses return a non-200 HTTP code and a JSON response of the following form:

Field Type Description
message string The details of the error that occurred.

HTTP response codes

The following table describes the set of HTTP codes that you may encounter from our API.

Code Meaning
200 OK – Request completed successfully.
400 Bad Request – The parameters provided in the request did not follow the expected format.
401 Unauthorized – Your API credentials are invalid or your account has been deactivated.
403 Forbidden – You do not have access to the requested endpoint.
404 Not Found – The requested company/director does not exist or the endpoint does not exist.
423 Locked – The requested company cannot be accessed from our database. A detailed reason is included in the error message.
429 Too Many Requests – You have exceeded the maximum number of requests allowed in the current time window.
500 Internal Server Error – We had a problem with our server.
503 Service Unavailable – We’re temporarily offline for maintenance.

Change management

We follow a semantic versioning policy when it comes to introducing changes to the API.

The full version number is of the form <major>.<minor>.<patch>.

The major version number of the API is specified as part of the path (example: /v1/) and is only incremented when any stable endpoint is changed in a way that breaks backwards-compatibility. Referencing an API by its major version will always refer to the most up-to-date minor and patch for that version.

Non-breaking changes

In principle, the following classes of changes increments the minor version:

Examples

  1. A new endpoint is added
  2. A new method is supported by an endpoint
  3. A new endpoint parameter is added
  4. A required endpoint parameter becomes optional
  5. An optional endpoint parameter is added
  6. A new field is added
  7. A required field becomes optional

Breaking changes

In principle, the following classes of changes increments the major version:

Examples

  1. A stable endpoint is renamed
  2. A stable endpoint is removed
  3. Support for an endpoint method is removed
  4. An endpoint parameter is renamed
  5. An endpoint parameter is removed
  6. A required parameter is added to an endpoint
  7. The meaning of the response changes
  8. A field is renamed
  9. A field is removed
  10. An optional field becomes required
  11. The type of the field becomes a more restrictive sub-type or changed to a different type

Multiple version support

Since introducing a breaking change to the API results in a new major release, we’ll try our best to ensure that such changes are only done when necessary to keep disruption and development effort on your part to a minimum.

When a new major version of the API is released, we aim to have at least TWO versions of the API running in parallel: the latest and the previous version. We’ll communicate you well in advance before removing any previous supported version.

Deprecations

As the API and our data sources evolve over time, we may mark certain aspects of the API as “deprecated”. Marking an endpoint, request method, parameter, or field for deprecation is considered a non-breaking change and increments the minor version. Items that have been deprecated will be removed in the following major release.

UK Companies

Our UK Company database contains the population of private and listed companies in the United Kingdom (England, Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Wales).

Base endpoint

/api/v1/uk/companies

Endpoints support calls using the Companies House registration number instead of a cinumber. For example you can retrieve data on “Company Watch” by using the cinumber,

GET /api/v1/uk/companies/1455001

or by using the registration number,

GET /api/v1/uk/companies/regnum=03597613

Searching for companies

Search for companies registered in the United Kingdom.

Phoenixism

Returns a list of distressed companies associated to the directors of the company that are suspected to be a “phoenix”. Alternatively returns a list of suspected phoenix companies associated to a company in distress.

Phoenixism - the practice where a new company is created to continue the business of an old company that has been deliberately liquidated or become insolvent. In a typical phoenix scenario, the directors or owners of a struggling or insolvent company will transfer its assets, customers or contracts to a new company. The old company is then liquidated, often leaving behind unpaid debts, including taxes, employee wages, and supplier payments. Meanwhile, the new company continues operating with essentially the same business, but without the financial burdens of its predecessor.

Company Monitoring API

Monitor changes to your portfolio of companies using our Company Monitoring API.

This feature is available for UK and Irish companies.

Using the API

Pre-requisites

  1. Request access to the Company Monitoring feature to be enabled on your account.
  2. Monitoring on UK Companies requires access to UK Companies to be enabled. Likewise, monitoring on Irish Companies requires access to Irish Companies to be enabled.

Getting started

  1. Determine which database the portfolio is for (uk for UK or ie for Ireland)
  2. Create a new portfolio - give it a name and an optional description
  3. Add companies to the portfolio by their registration number or Company Watch identifier (cinumber for UK, cwid for Ireland).
  4. Set up the alert settings to manage email alert options. If opting to receive alerts via email, add one or more recipients who would be receiving the alerts.
  5. Select the types of changes to monitor (conditions). New portfolios are created with no set conditions, meaning that no data changes would generate alerts before setting one or more condition.
  6. After the next scheduled alerts generation is complete, check for available changes to review by inspecting the change history.
  7. If there are new changes for the day, view the list of companies that have changes and the details of the change.

Alerts schedule

UK Alerts

Alerts for the UK are generated every day (Monday - Sunday).

Irish Alerts

Alerts for Ireland are generated once a week (Wednesday).

Email Alerts

Feature only available on production

An HTML version of the change notifications is sent out to email alert recipients added to a portfolio if the feature is enabled. Alternatively, the change notifications can also be received as an attachment in an XLS file in the email (note, that if the number of changes is large, it will default to the XLS attachment).
