Overview
This node integrates with the OpenRegister API to search for companies by name. It allows users to quickly find company information based on partial or full company names. This is useful in scenarios such as lead generation, data enrichment, compliance checks, or market research where identifying companies matching certain criteria is required.
For example, a user can input a company name fragment like "Tech" and retrieve a list of matching companies from the OpenRegister database.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Company Name | The name or partial name of the company to search for. This is a required string input used to query the OpenRegister API for matching companies. |
Output
The node outputs JSON data containing a results property, which holds an array of companies matching the search query. Each item in this array represents a company record returned by the OpenRegister API autocomplete endpoint.
No binary data output is produced by this operation.
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
- Empty results: If no companies are returned, verify that the search query is correctly spelled and sufficiently specific.
- Authentication errors: Ensure the API key credential is valid and has the necessary permissions.
- Network issues: Confirm that the n8n instance has internet connectivity and the base URL is correctly set.
- API rate limits: If requests fail due to rate limiting, consider adding delays or upgrading API plan.
