How this service works
Eckari is the machine-native utility layer for capabilities agents do not already have. Every route is a provider-neutral capability with channel pricing for Eckari account keys and accountless x402 payment.
Output
A paginated JSON response containing a list of officer records, each with the officer's full name, role (e.g. director, secretary, LLP member), appointment date, resignation date (if any), nationality, country of residence, partial date of birth (year and month), registered address, and active/inactive status. Also includes pagination metadata (offset, has_more, returned count) and aggregate totals for active, inactive, and resigned officers.
Example use cases
Due diligence on a UK supplier
“I need to verify who's running Rolls-Royce Holdings — can you pull their current directors from Companies House? Their company number is 01003142.”
Checking for nominee directors
“Can you list all officers for company number 12345678, including secretaries and any nominee directors? I want to see everyone on the register, not just the main directors.”
Investigating resigned board members
“I'm researching the board history of a UK company — number 00102498. Can you show me who resigned as directors in the last few years? Use the 'all' role filter so I don't miss anyone.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://api.eckari.com/v1/companies/uk/%7Bcompany_number%7D/directors?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need structured, live officer data for a specific UK-registered company directly from the Companies House register. It is ideal for due diligence, compliance checks, KYC/AML workflows, and corporate research on UK entities. Prefer it over scraping Companies House directly (no HTML parsing), and over generic web search (structured, authoritative data). It supports role filtering (director, secretary, LLP member, all) and pagination, making it suitable for companies with large boards or complex officer histories.
Side effects
- Invalid company number format (not 1-8 alphanumeric chars) returns INVALID_INPUT before any charge
- Company number not found in Companies House register returns a not-found error
- Whitespace-only or over-long company number rejected without charge
- Companies House upstream unavailability may cause timeout or error response
- Requesting more than 100 results per page returns a validation error
