Overview

The Company Search API finds Indian companies by name or CIN and returns the best matches with their Corporate Identity Number and status. It is the fastest way to resolve a company name to a precise entity before pulling deeper data, and it powers autocomplete, company pickers and entity resolution. Data is sourced from MCA records and continuously refreshed.

Auth, limits & freshness

Auth: Send Authorization: Bearer <api_key> (pk_test_… or pk_live_…).
Rate / credits: Fair-use and plan limits apply; see your API console for remaining credits.
Freshness: Sourced from Infyner’s MCA-aligned company master; refresh cadence varies by dataset.
Errors: Errors return a JSON envelope with success=false and an error code (e.g. NOT_FOUND, UNAUTHORIZED).

Limitations

Returns a small top-match set (not a full directory dump)
Name matching can be ambiguous for common names — disambiguate with CIN
