OpenRegister

Interact with the OpenRegister API

Overview

This node interacts with the OpenRegister API to fetch information about companies. Specifically, the "Get Company Owners" operation retrieves the list of owners for a given company by its ID. This is useful in scenarios where you need to understand the ownership structure of a company, such as due diligence, compliance checks, or business research.

For example, if you have a company ID and want to know who owns that company, this node will call the OpenRegister API and return the owners' details.

Properties

Name Meaning
Company ID The unique identifier of the company whose owners you want to fetch. This is a required string input.

Output

The output JSON contains an owners property which holds the list of owners for the specified company. The structure under owners depends on the API response but typically includes details about each owner such as name, type, and possibly ownership percentage or related metadata.

No binary data output is produced by this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for the OpenRegister API.
  • The base URL for the API must be configured in the node credentials.
  • Network access to the OpenRegister API endpoint.

Troubleshooting

  • Invalid Company ID: If the provided company ID does not exist or is malformed, the API may return an error or empty results. Verify the company ID before running the node.
  • Authentication Errors: Missing or invalid API credentials will cause authentication failures. Ensure the API key is correctly set up in the node credentials.
  • Network Issues: Connectivity problems can lead to request timeouts or failures. Check network settings and API availability.
  • Empty Owners List: Some companies might not have registered owners in the OpenRegister database, resulting in an empty owners array.
