Overview
This node operation "Get Corporate Family" under the "Company (Related)" resource fetches company profiles that belong to the same corporate family as a specified company. It is useful for users who want to explore related companies within a corporate group, such as subsidiaries, parent companies, or sister companies.
Common scenarios:
- Analyzing the structure of a corporate group.
- Gathering data on all companies related to a specific holding or parent company.
- Competitive analysis by understanding affiliated companies.
- Due diligence processes where knowledge of related entities is important.
Practical example:
If you have the Bedrijfsdata.nl ID of a company and want to retrieve up to 10 related companies in its corporate family, this node will return those company profiles, optionally including detailed metadata about the query.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Bedrijfsdata.nl ID | The unique identifier of the specific company whose corporate family you want to retrieve. |
| Max. Number of Results | The maximum number of related 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 enabled, the output will be a single item with these details instead of an array of company profiles. |
Output
The node outputs JSON data containing company profiles related to the specified company’s corporate family.
- When Detailed Output is false (default), the output is an array of company profile objects, each representing a related company.
- When Detailed Output is true, the output is a single object containing metadata such as the total number of companies found and credit usage information, rather than the list of companies.
No binary data output is indicated for this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires an active connection to the Bedrijfsdata API via an API key credential.
- The node makes HTTP GET requests to the
/corporate_familyendpoint of the Bedrijfsdata API. - The base URL used is
https://api.bedrijfsdata.nl/v1.2. - Proper API authentication credentials must be configured in n8n for this node to function.
Troubleshooting
- Missing or invalid Bedrijfsdata.nl ID: The node requires a valid company ID; if missing or incorrect, the API will likely return an error or empty results.
- API quota exceeded or authentication errors: If the API key is invalid or usage limits are reached, the node will fail. Ensure the API key is correct and has sufficient quota.
- Unexpected API response: If the API changes or returns unexpected data, the node may throw errors. Check the API status and update the node if necessary.
- Detailed Output option confusion: Enabling detailed output changes the shape of the output from an array to a single object, which might break downstream workflows expecting an array.
