API Access & Onboarding 

How to access Company Watch data via the API

Company Watch data integrates directly into your systems. Our API lets you test everything in a safe environment first, then move into production once you are confident it works for your workflow.

How it works

API access is set up in two stages.

First, we create a UAT account so you can test the integration in a safe environment. UAT accounts are valid for one month from the date of request by default. Our technical support team will be in touch with your nominated API contact by email to support UAT set up.

When you have completed your assessment using your UAT account, you will next need to confirm the data items and features you require with your Account Manager. Your Account Manager will provide you with the relevant contract agreement for review and sign off. Once the contract agreement is signed,  your Account Manager will then co-ordinate with our technical support team  to create your API production account.

In the final stage, your nominated API contact will receive two emails from our technical support team in relation to your new API Production account: one with your API username and onboarding guidance, and one with a secure link to access your password.

 API Request Limits

  • Your UAT environment is limited to 150 requests per day.

  • Testing your actual workflow during UAT will give you realistic performance expectations for your use case.

Additional informantion

  • Standard API access includes UK and Ireland company and director data.

  • VAT data is not available via the API unless separately agreed.

  • If you require additional features for your UAT account, such as  monitoring or scoring, confirm these with your Account Manager during UAT set up so the right access is configured from the start.

  • Full API documentation is also available at this link. 

Getting started
