## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need structured European company or person data from NorthData's public registry interface, especially for German, Austrian, or Swiss companies. Prefer it over generic web scrapers when you need structured fields like LEI codes, register numbers, officer lists, and financial series. Best used for due diligence, corporate research, or network mapping tasks targeting the 17 supported European jurisdictions.

## Known failure modes

- No results found for the given query — returns empty items array (not charged)
- Invalid country code enum value — request rejected
- maxResults exceeds 45 — capped or rejected
- NorthData rate limiting or blocking of scraper — may return empty or partial results
- Invalid URL in startUrls — skipped or error returned
- Search query too generic — returns up to 45 anonymous candidates only

## How this service works

Pay-per-call structured web data. Failed or empty runs are not charged.
