Overview
This node interacts with the OpenRegister API to retrieve detailed information about companies. Specifically, the "Get Company Details" operation fetches comprehensive data for a single company identified by its unique ID. This is useful in scenarios where you need to enrich workflows with verified company data, such as compliance checks, business intelligence, or CRM updates.
For example, you might use this node to:
- Retrieve official company registration details before onboarding a new client.
- Verify company information during due diligence processes.
- Automate data entry by pulling company details directly into your system.

Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the OpenRegister API.
- The base URL for the API must be configured in the node credentials.
- Internet access to reach the OpenRegister API endpoints.
Troubleshooting
- Missing or invalid Company ID: Ensure that the "Company ID" property is provided and correctly formatted. An empty or incorrect ID will result in errors or no data returned.
- Authentication errors: Verify that the API key credential is set up properly and has the necessary permissions.
- Network issues: Confirm that the n8n instance can reach the OpenRegister API endpoint (check firewall and proxy settings).
- API rate limits: If many requests are made in a short time, the API may throttle responses. Implement retry logic or reduce request frequency if needed.
