💡 This example searches all 6 states and shows the enrichment in action: public companies get SEC fields (ticker, industry, incorporation), every row gets an OFAC sanctions_status, and state-specific fields (county, purpose, agent) fill from their states. For fresh B2B leads, use registeredAfter (e.g. 2026-01-01); for diversity-owned businesses, use state: "ct".

❓ FAQ

Where is the data from? Official state business-registry open-data (Socrata) APIs, the US SEC EDGAR system, and the US Treasury OFAC sanctions list. All public, free, no key.

Which states are covered? New York, Pennsylvania, Colorado, Oregon, Connecticut and Hawaii today — more added over time. Use state: "all" to search them together.

How do you flag public companies? Each business name is matched against SEC EDGAR's company list; matches get CIK, ticker, exchange, SIC industry and state of incorporation.

Is sanctions screening reliable? It fuzzy-matches business names against OFAC (SDN + Consolidated). Treat matches as leads to review, not legal determinations — always confirm on the official OFAC portal.
