Overview

This node interacts with the Bedrijfsdata API to retrieve companies that share the same registered address as a specified company. It is useful for scenarios where you want to identify related businesses or entities located at the same physical address, such as for competitive analysis, due diligence, or market research.

For example, given a company's unique Bedrijfsdata.nl ID, the node can return a list of other companies registered at that address. This helps uncover potential business relationships or shared ownership structures.

Properties

Name Meaning
Bedrijfsdata.nl ID The unique identifier of the specific company in the Bedrijfsdata.nl database to find shared addresses.
Max. Number of Results The maximum number of company profiles to return (default is 10).
Detailed Output Whether to include additional details such as total number of companies found and credit usage. If true, returns a single detailed item instead of an array.

Output

  • The json output contains either:

    • An array of company profiles registered at the same address as the specified company, when "Detailed Output" is false.
    • A single object with detailed metadata including total companies found and credit usage, when "Detailed Output" is true.

  • The structure of each company profile includes typical company data fields as returned by the Bedrijfsdata API (not explicitly detailed here).

  • No binary data output is produced by this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires an active connection to the Bedrijfsdata API via an API key credential configured in n8n.
  • The node sends HTTP GET requests to the /shared_address endpoint of the Bedrijfsdata API.
  • The base URL used is https://api.bedrijfsdata.nl/v1.2.

Troubleshooting

  • Missing or invalid Bedrijfsdata.nl ID: The node requires a valid company ID; ensure this is provided and correctly formatted.
  • API authentication errors: Verify that the API key credential is correctly set up and has sufficient permissions.
  • Empty results: If no companies are found sharing the address, the output may be empty; confirm the input ID corresponds to a valid company with shared addresses.
  • Unexpected API responses: Network issues or API changes might cause errors; check the error message for details and consult Bedrijfsdata API documentation.
  • Detailed Output option: When enabled, the output format changes from an array to a single object; downstream nodes expecting arrays should handle this accordingly.
