Searching for companies

To search for companies, use the following endpoint:

This endpoint returns a list of companies that match the query. It will include a score that indicates how well the company or person matches your result --- the higher the better. The general idea is that this functionality be used to create search functionality, after which you can retrieve the actual data for a company you require using the LassoId.

Note that we search in both primary names as well as historic and alternate names, meaning that a search for an old name can result in the current name being returned, in which case the name we found the company by will appear in the foundByName property.

If there are more pages of results than can fit in one request, you will be given with a continuationToken for companies and people (they will be the same) that you can use to retrieve the next page using the cToken parameter.

You can modify the amount of results per page using the pageSize parameter. You can also specify the status of a company by using the status parameter to specify whether to return either active, inactive, or all. To search specifically for people, see People → Search.

In addition to this, you can add the following filters to the query itself using the syntax filtername:value after the query:

Filter Description Type Example
company Related Company Name (Person only) String query=Jeppe company:Lasso X
city The city String query=lasso x city:københavn
postalcode The postal code Integer query=lasso x postalcode:2200
street The street name String query=lasso x street:Nørrebrogade
streetno The street number String query=lasso x streetno:36
floor The floor of the building String query=lasso x floor:st
side The sidedoor of the floor String query=lasso x side:th
protected Commercially protected (Company only) Boolean query=lasso x protected:false
email The e-mail String query=lasso x email:lassox.com
telephone The telephone number String query=lasso x telephone:71747812
cvr Related CVR number Integer query=lasso x cvr:23452345

Note that you can combine any number of these filters, e.g. query=Kiosk city:København street:Nørrebrogade.

In addition to the basic name searches, you can search for CVR numbers or LassoIds, as well as phonenumbers, in which case we will check both in the CVR registry AND in Danish teledata for companies with a matching phonenumber.
