From today, new search parameters for Company Advance and new calls to obtain the list of all companies with changes.
New Parameters for Company Advance
We have extended the search parameters for the /advance service. Previously, this service allowed searching for companies by name (or part of it) and/or province. The result was a list of companies with all the information from the basic service (full name, VAT number, full address, activity status, ID).
With the new implementations, the search parameters have been expanded to include ATECO code, turnover (min / max), and employees (min / max).
The new parameters allow you to obtain a more relevant list of companies within a specific geographical area, with similar turnover or number of employees, belonging to the same category, or with similar names. The service is used, for example, for market research, sectoral analysis, or marketing activities.
Get the list of companies that changed in the last six months: the updates calls
Not only that! Also within the API Company, we have made two new calls available to identify companies that have recorded changes over a defined period of time. The Updates call allows you to get the list of all company IDs where changes have occurred in the last six months. The call is free. Using the IDs, it is then possible, through other services, to obtain the updated company information.
The /updates/{timestamp} call always returns the IDs of the companies where changes have occurred, starting from the timestamp value provided in the call.
It is also possible, with the /updates/{timestamp} service, to obtain the same list but starting from a specific date within the last six months.
For both Updates calls, the parameters limit and skip have been added. With the "limit" parameter, you can specify the maximum number of results desired. With "skip", you can set the number of results to skip. This second parameter has been implemented to "skip" any results obtained from previous searches.
