# Look up a company's profile (`companies_get`)

A company's record in its register: legal form, status, address, industry, employees, LEI and its officers by name and role.

A company's record in its register: legal name and form, status, founding date, address, industry codes with their NACE label (NACE Rev. 2.1 for Norway and newer Finnish filings, with rev2: the Rev. 2 codes the other tools take), employees where published, VAT numbers, its LEI, and its officers by name and role (never birth dates or contacts). US companies add tickers and recent filings. Each fact comes with its register, link and license.

Price: $0.05 a call. A call that fails costs nothing.

## Use it when

## Errors

| Code | Status | When | Fix |
|---|---|---|---|
| `invalid_input` | 400 | The id isn't one of fr:, gb:, no:, fi:, us: or lei: with a valid number. | Use an id from companies_search, like no:961920566. |
| `not_found` | 404 | The register has no company with that id. | Find it by name with companies_search. |
| `unavailable` | 503 | A register didn't answer, or the UK register isn't connected yet. | Try again in a minute. For a UK company, search by name and use its LEI. |
