List of Companies

Introduction

POST /companies is the primary endpoint for searching and listing companies. Use it for:

ad-hoc discovery (filter by region, vertical, theme, founding year, ownership and more)
batch lookups by ID, name search
refreshing companies you already show, via the change-feed updated_at checkpoint.

Results are offset-paginated and return a compact company record; for the primary stock listing, valuation, fundamentals and deal-activity, fetch a single company from /companies/{id}.

  "filters": {
    "themes": [
      "FinTech"

}

field	type	description
`limit`	integer	Page size. Default `100`, maximum `1000`.
`page`	integer	1-indexed page number. Default `1`. `page * limit` may not exceed 10,000; a request past that returns 400 (narrow your filters instead).
`sort`	string	`field:asc` or `field:desc` (e.g. `founded:desc`, `updated_at:asc`). Valid sort fields are listed in `/lookup/companies`. A bare field name sorts descending. Default `name:desc` (Z to A).
`fields`	string	Comma-separated allowlist of response fields to return.
`filters.id`	string[]	Batch lookup by company ID (UUIDs). An empty array (`"id": []`) matches no companies.
`filters.name`	string	Case-insensitive substring match on the display name (matches both the company's `name` and `short_name`).
`filters.country`	string[]	ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 country codes (e.g. `USA`, `GBR`, `DEU`).
`filters.region`	string[]	One or more of: `Africa`, `Central Asia`, `East Asia`, `Eastern Europe`, `Latin America`, `Middle East`, `North America`, `Northern Europe`, `Oceania`, `South Asia`, `South-East Asia`, `Southern Europe`, `Western Europe`.
`filters.verticals`	string[]	Returns companies tagged with any of these verticals (e.g. `Biopharmaceuticals`, `Medical Devices`, `Industrial Software`).
`filters.themes`	string[]	Returns companies tagged with any of these themes (e.g. `FinTech`, `B2B SaaS`, `BioTech`, `DeepTech`).
`filters.client_focus`	string[]	Match any of these client-focus tags (e.g. `B2B`, `B2C`).
`filters.revenue_model`	string[]	Match any of these revenue-model tags.
`filters.company_type`	string[]	Match any of these company-type tags.
`filters.ownership`	string	Exact match on ownership label (e.g. `Publicly listed`, `Privately held`).
`filters.active`	boolean	Filter by active status.
`filters.founded_min`	integer	Founding year (lower bound).
`filters.founded_max`	integer	Founding year (upper bound).
`filters.ipoed_from`	string (date)	IPO date on or after this date.
`filters.ipoed_to`	string (date)	IPO date on or before this date.
`filters.updated_at`	string (date-time)	Change-feed checkpoint: returns records updated at or after this timestamp. In this mode soft-deleted records are surfaced automatically.
`filters.include_deleted`	boolean	Include soft-deleted companies. Not needed in change-feed mode (an `updated_at` checkpoint already surfaces deletions); use it for non-change-feed queries. Default `false`.

A plain array matches companies with any listed value. {"all": ["B2B SaaS", "FinTech"]} matches companies tagged with every listed value. The same shape works on verticals, themes, client_focus, revenue_model and company_type. An empty {"all": []} returns 400.

An unknown value returns 400 and names the closest matches. verticals and themes are distinct vocabularies: FinTech is a theme, so sending it as a vertical is rejected and the error points at themes. The accepted values are on Filter values.
