  "searchTerms": ["Acme"],
  "searchMode": "Contains",
  "entityStatus": "Active",
  "maxResults": 300
}

FAQ

Does this require a paid API key or credentials? No. The NY Department of State Division of Corporations API is free and requires no authentication.

What is the difference between service of process and registered agent? The service of process (SOP) address is where legal process must be served for the entity. The registered agent is the person or company designated to receive official state communications. For many entities, these are the same; for others, they differ.

What does the stock information field contain? For corporations, stockInfo is an array of share classes with their authorized share count. LLCs and partnerships typically have no stock data. This is sourced from the entity's DOS filing.

What does "BaseWord" search mode do? BaseWord applies stemming to match root words. For example, searching "manage" with BaseWord mode would match "Management", "Manager", and "Managing". It is useful for broad discovery but may return unexpected results.

How many results can I get per search? The NY DOS API caps results at 300 per search. Set maxResults up to 300. For broader coverage, use the Contains search mode with specific keywords.

Is the data real-time? Yes. The actor queries the live NY DOS API on each run. Results reflect the current state of the database at the time of the run.

Can I filter to only active entities? Yes. Set entityStatus to Active to exclude dissolved, inactive, and suspended entities from results.
