About the service

This is a "Know Your Business" service used to generate KYB reports.

Product Code: W2-DATA-EKYB-GlobalOnline-009

Does this service leave a credit search Footprint? No

The service is broken down into two steps and requires calling our api twice:

  1. Finding the company (Company search)
  2. Generating the report (Report generation)

The first step is all about finding the company you want.

All that's needed is the company's name and country. Sending these to our api will return a list of matched companies with basic information.

Each company has a CompanyId that is used in the next step to generate the report.

Searching companies is free.
