What Is the Company API For?
When you already know which companies you care about—maybe they’re leads, customers, or competitors—the Company API gives you a fast, structured way to pull up-to-date information about them.
Rather than searching manually or scraping pages, this API lets you fetch key company details using just a public company profile link or domain.
It’s perfect for enriching company records, validating your data, or powering custom workflows where accurate company insights matter.
What You Can Get From It
A standard Company API call may return details like:
Company name, description, and industry
Website, size, founding year
Social links (e.g. Twitter, Crunchbase)
Optional enrichments: funding_data, exit_data, acquisitions, and more
You can exclude fields you don’t need to reduce credit usage.
Available Endpoints
The Company API includes multiple endpoints for accessing different types of company-related data.
Each endpoint supports its own set of fields and request options. To view the full list of available endpoints and stay up to date with current capabilities, refer to the official documentation:
⚙️ How It Works
You send a request with either:
A public company profile URL, or
A company domain (like enrichlayer.com)
The API returns a JSON response with available data. The more specific and complete the source, the higher the accuracy.
💳 How Credits Are Charged
A basic Company Profile Endpoint request usually costs 1 credit.
However, your credit usage may increase if:
You enable use_cache:if-recent to enable data freshness
You include optional fields like:
{
"funding_data": "include",
"exit_data": "include",
"acquisitions": "include"
}
To minimize credit use, exclude extra fields and disable data freshness unless you need the latest updates.
✅ When to Use the Company API
Use this API when you want to:
Enrich a company record in your CRM
Validate domains or company profile URLs on your lead list
Display business info in your app or dashboard
Collect company metadata for analytics or targeting
