Developer API
A REST API to the same data, parsing pipeline, and TrustScore that powers every Deep Dive — drop it into your KYC flow, credit engine, CRM enrichment, or compliance pipeline. Built for production use, billed by call, no monthly seat fees.
Sample request
# Company profile + financials for BrewDog PLC curl -H "X-API-Key: vai_..." \ "https://www.verif-ai.co.uk/api/v1/companies/SC311560" # Response (truncated) { "company_name": "BREWDOG PLC", "status": "Active", "trust_score": 62, "cash_at_bank": 31117000, "annual_turnover": 357037000 }
Built for
Verif-AI's API is meant for production workflows where someone needs to know if a UK company is real, solvent, and worth onboarding — without a human reading a PDF.
Pull cash, debt, audit opinion, and a 0-100 TrustScore on every UK counterparty before extending terms. Drop the response into your scoring engine; cache results for 30 days; refresh on filing-event webhook.
Endpoints: /companies/<n>, /companies/<n>/financials
Verify entity exists at Companies House, screen all directors and PSCs against FCDO sanctions list and UK Parliament PEP register, and pull beneficial-ownership chain — in one structured response. Audit-ready output that drops into a regulator file.
Endpoints: /companies/<n>, /companies/<n>/people (GDPR-tiered)
Hydrate every UK company record in Salesforce / HubSpot / your CRM with company status, registered office, sector (SIC), latest revenue, and director list. One call per record; cache for the period you care about.
Endpoints: /companies/<n>
Bulk-monitor a portfolio of UK counterparties: filing changes, director moves, charges registered, sanctions list updates. Use the API + your existing alerting; or use our hosted watchlist if you'd rather not build it.
Endpoints: all of /api/v1/*
What you get
Status, registered address, SIC codes, charges, filing history — everything Companies House holds on a company, returned in a single structured response.

Active and historical directors, PSCs with ownership percentages, and the corporate group hierarchy. GDPR-tiered address access available on documented legitimate interest.
