Overview
This node interacts with the OpenRegister API to retrieve information about companies. Specifically, the "Get Company Holdings" operation fetches a list of companies in which a specified company holds stakes. This is useful for understanding corporate ownership structures and investment portfolios.
Practical examples include:
- Analyzing a company's investment reach by listing all subsidiaries or holdings.
- Due diligence processes where you need to verify related entities connected to a company.
- Financial research to map out corporate relationships and influence.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Company ID | The unique identifier of the company whose holdings you want to fetch. |
Output
The output JSON contains a property named holdings, which is an array representing the companies that the specified company holds stakes in. Each element in this array corresponds to one holding company with its associated details as provided by the OpenRegister API.
No binary data output is involved in this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential for authenticating requests to 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 use.
- 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 prevent successful API calls. Check network settings and firewall rules.
- Empty Holdings Array: A valid company might have no holdings; this is not an error but indicates no stakeholding companies are registered.
