Overview

This node operation retrieves the corporate family of a specific company using its unique Bedrijfsdata.nl ID. The "corporate family" refers to all companies that belong to the same corporate group or ownership structure as the specified company. This is useful for users who want to analyze related companies within a corporate group, perform due diligence, or gather comprehensive data about a business network.

Common scenarios:

  • A financial analyst wants to assess all subsidiaries and related entities of a parent company.
  • A sales team aims to identify all companies under the same corporate umbrella to target cross-selling opportunities.
  • Compliance officers need to verify the full scope of a corporate family for regulatory checks.

Practical example:
Given a Bedrijfsdata.nl ID of a company, the node fetches up to a specified number of related company profiles that share the same corporate family. Optionally, it can return detailed metadata such as total companies found and credit usage instead of just the list.

Properties

Name Meaning
Bedrijfsdata.nl ID The unique identifier of the company whose corporate family you want to retrieve (required).
Max. Number of Results The maximum number of related company profiles to return (default is 10).
Detailed Output If enabled, returns detailed information including total number of companies found and credit usage. Note: This changes the output format to a single item instead of an array.

Output

The node outputs JSON data containing company profiles belonging to the same corporate family as the specified company.

  • When Detailed Output is disabled (default), the output is an array of company profile objects, each representing a related company.
  • When Detailed Output is enabled, the output is a single object containing metadata fields such as total number of companies found and credit usage statistics, rather than an array of companies.

No binary data output is involved in this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires an active API key credential for the Bedrijfsdata.nl API.
  • The node makes HTTP GET requests to the /corporate_family endpoint of the Bedrijfsdata API.
  • The base URL used is https://api.bedrijfsdata.nl/v1.2.
  • No additional environment variables are required beyond the API authentication setup.

Troubleshooting

  • Missing or invalid Bedrijfsdata.nl ID: The node requires a valid company ID. Ensure the ID is correct and not empty; otherwise, the API request will fail.
  • API quota exceeded or credit issues: If the detailed output option is enabled, credit usage info is returned. Users may encounter errors if their API credits are exhausted.
  • Unexpected API response: If the API returns an error or unexpected data, check network connectivity and API key validity.
  • Empty results: If no related companies are found, the output array will be empty. Verify the company ID corresponds to a company with a corporate family.
