Company Check API: identity, financials & SEC filings in 1 call

One call answers "who is this company and what are its numbers?": legal name, LEI, registration number, status, legal form, registered address and (France, Finland, Estonia) industry and registration date, the key figures of its last fiscal years (revenue, operating profit, net income, equity, assets, cash, employees), the US listing and latest SEC filings, for UK companies the current directors and owners (persons with significant control), and for US banks the FDIC record. Every value links to the official record it came from. Built for AI agents doing research, KYB or due diligence, and for people who want a quick, sourced company profile.

Pricing (pay per event): $0.03 per company report. A lookup that finds nothing fails in seconds and costs nothing.

A foreign company listed in the US resolves to its home country: {"query": "ASML"} gives country NL, ASML Holding N.V.'s LEI and its ESEF figures (revenue EUR 32,667.3m for 2025), and us holds the US listing (CIK 0000937966, tickers ASML/ASMLF, foreign_private_issuer: true, latest_annual_report = the 20-F of 2026-02-25).

• identity: from the national register (UK Companies House, Norway's Brønnøysund register, France's Sirene, Finland's Trade Register, Estonia's e-Business Register), GLEIF, the SEC and (US banks) the FDIC; the first source with a value wins, and source_urls says which record each value came from.
• financials: one entry per fiscal year, newest first, each with the filing it was read from (source_url), the human-readable report (report_url) and the XBRL concept or register field behind each value (concepts). Amounts are in full currency units.
• us: the US listing: CIK, tickers, exchanges, whether it is a foreign private issuer (20-F/6-K filer), the latest annual report (10-K, 20-F or 40-F), the 10 latest SEC filings other than insider forms, and the number of Form 4 filings in the last 90 days.
• bank: for US banks and bank holding companies (requested with us): the FDIC-insured bank (for a holding company its largest bank, relationship: "subsidiary"): certificate, charter class, regulator, dates, headquarters, branches, the latest quarterly Call Report figures, failure and up to 10 mergers. Company level only.
• candidates: when a name matches several companies, the top 3 with their LEIs or registration numbers. The report is for the first; call again with another to switch.
• not_found and warnings: which sections are empty and why, in plain words an agent can pass on. One source being down never fails the report; it becomes a warning.

Input

{ "query": "Novo Nordisk", "country": "DK", "maxYears": 3 }

Field	Meaning
query	Company name, or an identifier: LEI, UK company number, Danish CVR, Norwegian org number, French SIREN or SIRET, Finnish Business ID, Estonian registry code, US ticker, SEC CIK or FDIC certificate (FDIC:628). Detected automatically
country	Optional ISO-2 code (DK, GB, NO, FR, FI, EE, NL, US, ...) to narrow a name search (for NO, FR, FI and EE also in the national register) or say which register a number belongs to
maxYears	Fiscal years of figures, newest first. Default 3, max 10
include	Sections to fill: identity, financials, us (with bank), people (UK officers and persons with significant control). Default all

How the query is read: a valid 20-character LEI; 1234567-8 with a valid check digit is a Finnish Business ID; FDIC:628 (or FDIC 628) is an FDIC certificate; SC123456-style or zero-led 8-digit numbers are UK company numbers; other 8-digit numbers can be a Danish CVR (checksum), an Estonian registry code (checksum, first digit 1, 7, 8 or 9) or a UK company number (below 20 million): GLEIF, the Danish accounts index, the Estonian register and, with the key, Companies House decide, and when more than one reading stays possible the report says so in warnings and lists them in candidates; 9 digits with a valid Norwegian checksum are org numbers, 9 digits with a valid Luhn check digit are French SIRENs (a number valid as both is Norwegian if Brønnøysund knows it), 14 digits with a Luhn check digit are SIRETs (read as their SIREN); CIK + digits or other numbers up to 10 digits are SEC CIKs; 1-5 letters typed in capitals (AAPL) or with $ ($brk.b) that the SEC lists are tickers; anything else, including Lego or coke, is a name (a name with OÜ or MTÜ is also searched in the Estonian register). Pass country to override (e.g. "GB" for a UK number without a leading zero, "EE" for an Estonian code, "FI" for a Business ID without its dash).

Use from an AI agent (MCP)

Agents can call this Actor as a tool through the Apify MCP server. Add this server URL to your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, VS Code, ...):

https://mcp.apify.com?tools=bosco_labs/company-check

It loads this Actor as a tool, plus the tools that read its results (get-actor-run, get-dataset-items). The hosted server signs you in with OAuth, or accepts your Apify token as Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_TOKEN>.

Example prompt: "Who is Novo Nordisk legally, and what were its revenue and net income in the last three years? Cite your sources." The agent passes:

{ "query": "Novo Nordisk", "country": "DK", "maxYears": 3 }

Output for agents: one small JSON item (typically 3-8 KB), stable snake_case fields, ISO dates, numbers as numbers, null for unknown, a source URL per value. not_found and warnings say in plain words what is missing and why, so the agent never has to guess. Typical lookup time is 1-5 seconds after start-up; each source has a 20-second limit.

Cost: $0.03 per report, billed to the Apify account the MCP server is signed in with. Nothing is charged when no company matches.

FAQ

Which countries are covered?

Country	Identity	Financials
UK	Companies House profile + GLEIF	Companies House accounts (digital iXBRL filings, any year); listed companies also via ESEF
Denmark	GLEIF, or the name in the filed accounts	Erhvervsstyrelsen annual reports (all years); listed companies' consolidated ESEF reports first
Norway	Brønnøysund register + GLEIF	Regnskapsregisteret, the company's own accounts (last 3 years); listed companies' consolidated ESEF reports first
France	Sirene/RNE via the government's Recherche d'entreprises API (legal name, legal form, status, creation date, head-office address, NAF code, employee band) + GLEIF; sole traders are refused	Listed companies' consolidated ESEF reports only (see below)
Finland	PRH Trade Register (YTJ open data: name, form, status, registration date, address, TOL code, website) + GLEIF	PRH digital (XBRL) statements, the company's own accounts (about 5% of filers); listed companies' consolidated ESEF reports first
Estonia	e-Business Register: live record (name, status, address) + weekly open-data index (legal form, VAT number, first entry date, EMTAK activity) + GLEIF; sole traders (FIE) are refused	Annual-report key figures from RIK open data, the company's own accounts, last 3 reported years; listed companies' ESEF reports first
Other EU/EEA (NL, BE, SE, IT, ES, ...)	GLEIF	Listed companies' ESEF annual reports from filings.xbrl.org (Germany is not in that index)
US	GLEIF + SEC EDGAR; banks also FDIC BankFind (bank section)	SEC XBRL figures from 10-K filings (consolidated, US GAAP); banks: latest quarterly FDIC figures in bank.financials
Foreign companies listed in the US (ASML, SAP, Toyota, ...)	Home country via GLEIF, plus the US listing in us	ESEF or national register first, else the SEC XBRL figures of their 20-F/40-F filings
Anywhere else	GLEIF (companies with an LEI)	None

Why is financials empty? See not_found: the company may file no machine-readable accounts (paper/PDF filings, very small companies, countries without an open accounts register), or it is a US company that files no 10-K (US banks: see bank.financials). Unlisted French companies are not covered: INPI's annual-accounts API needs an account, and the open INPI-derived "Ratios financiers" dataset files figures under the wrong fiscal year (checked against Danone's ESEF reports), so it is not used. Most Finnish companies file paper or PDF accounts, which are not open data.

Why is revenue null? The company didn't tag it: small UK and Danish companies often publish no profit and loss account or only gross profit. employees is usually null for ESEF reports, which rarely tag it.

A name gave the wrong company. Names are matched against GLEIF's register of legal entities (companies with an LEI; with country NO, FR or FI also the national register). When several entities share the name, a listed company (one filing ESEF reports) goes first, and candidates and a warning say there was a choice; without country that happens for any name shared by several entities. Check candidates, add country, or pass the LEI or registration number, which always resolve exactly. Write a US ticker in capitals (COKE) or with $; Coke is searched as a name.

Are figures consolidated? ESEF reports (listed companies) are consolidated group figures. National register accounts are the company's own statutory accounts; for Norway they are explicitly the company's own accounts, not the group's. financials.basis says which.

Insider buys and sells? This version counts Form 4 filings in the last 90 days (buys and sells together). For each transaction, use SEC Insider Trades.

Need more? Full statements with 16-25 metrics per year: Company Financials API (UK, DK, NO) and EU Annual Reports API (ESEF). Every SEC filing: SEC Filings Feed.

Personal data? Company-level data, plus one exception for KYB: for UK companies the people section lists the current officers and persons with significant control as Companies House publishes them (name, role, appointment or notification date, nationality, country of residence, month and year of birth, nature of control). Their addresses and occupations are never output, and resigned officers and ceased PSCs are left out; leave people out of include to skip it. Outside the UK, names of directors, officers, board members, auditors or shareholders are never requested or output (the French register's dirigeants are never requested; Finland's open data has no persons, and the address's c/o line is dropped; the Estonian persons, shareholder and beneficial-owner files are never downloaded). Estonian sole traders (FIE) are left out of the index and name search, and a lookup by their code fails without a charge. Sole traders are natural persons: Norwegian ones are excluded from name search, French ones (entrepreneurs individuels) from name search and from lookups by SIREN, which fail without a charge; Finland's open data holds none. Sole proprietors with an LEI (GLEIF category SOLE_PROPRIETOR, any country) are never candidates and are refused without a charge.

How fresh is it? Live: every call reads the sources directly (GLEIF is updated several times a day, registers when companies file). Exception: Estonia's legal form, VAT number, activity and figures come from a weekly index of the register's daily open-data files (the date is in sources[].name); name, status and address are read live. FDIC figures are quarterly (Call Reports).

Licences and attribution? French data: Sirene (INSEE) and RNE (INPI) via the government's API Recherche d'entreprises, under the Licence Ouverte 2.0; each report's sources names the source and the date of its last update. Finnish data: PRH (Finnish Patent and Registration Office) open data under CC BY 4.0; not endorsed by PRH, and figures are re-labelled into the fields above, otherwise unchanged. Estonian data: e-Business Register (Registrite ja Infosüsteemide Keskus, RIK) open data under CC BY 4.0; figures re-labelled into the fields above and EMTAK labels kept in Estonian; not endorsed by RIK. US bank data: FDIC BankFind Suite (US government data); not endorsed by the FDIC. GLEIF data is CC0.
