## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a quick, low-cost, no-account-required lookup of company registration details by name or registration number, especially for due diligence, vendor verification, or compliance checks. Ideal for AI agents that need to autonomously verify business legitimacy without manual API key setup, paying only $0.03 USDC per call via the x402 protocol.

## Known failure modes

- Company not found in registry — empty results array returned
- Ambiguous company name matches multiple entities — multiple results returned requiring disambiguation
- Invalid or unsupported jurisdiction filter — may return error or empty results
- Query string too vague or too short — low-quality or no results
- Registry data may be stale or not reflect most recent status changes

## How this service works

## Output

Returns an array of matching company records, each containing the company name, current status (e.g. active/inactive), jurisdiction of registration, and incorporation date. Multiple results may be returned if the query matches more than one entity.
