The Companies API
The Companies API is a company data and enrichment platform offering programmatic access to firmographic, technographic, and web-intelligence data on 50M+ companies. Its REST API (base https://api.thecompaniesapi.com, all resources under /v2) covers company search and segmentation, company enrichment by domain, email, or social profile, similar-company lookup, industry and technology reference data, location reference data, saved lists, and asynchronous bulk actions. Requests are authenticated with an API token passed in the Authorization header, billing is credit-based, and the full OpenAPI 3.1 description is published at /v2/openapi.
Solid contracts, transparent operations, and an easy start — typically complete on four or five facets with one clear soft spot.
API Evangelist profiles The Companies API the way a machine reads it — 33 machine-readable artifacts across 1 API, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.
Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — The Companies API scores 65.4/100 (strong), with a separate agent-readiness read of 28/100 (agent aware). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.
Kin Score
This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance. Every facet and dimension name is a link: it opens that measurement's page on APIs.io, where the rating runs across the whole catalog — the exact checks that feed it, how every profiled provider distributes on it, and who is at the top of it.

How we profile The Companies API
Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for The Companies API. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.
APIs 12
Each API is captured as its own OpenAPI definition — every operation, parameter, and response. This is the single most useful machine-readable description of what an API does, and it's what lets us score, lint, mock, and generate against it without asking the provider for anything.
Individual APIs this provider publishes, each with its own machine-readable definition.
The Companies API actions API
The actions API from The Companies API — 2 operation(s) for actions.
The Companies API analytics API
The analytics API from The Companies API — 2 operation(s) for analytics.
The Companies API companies API
The companies API from The Companies API — 13 operation(s) for companies.
The Companies API industries API
The industries API from The Companies API — 2 operation(s) for industries.
The Companies API job-titles API
The job-titles API from The Companies API — 1 operation(s) for job-titles.
The Companies API lists API
The lists API from The Companies API — 5 operation(s) for lists.
The Companies API locations API
The locations API from The Companies API — 5 operation(s) for locations.
The Companies API prompts API
The prompts API from The Companies API — 4 operation(s) for prompts.
The Companies API teams API
The teams API from The Companies API — 1 operation(s) for teams.
The Companies API technologies API
The technologies API from The Companies API — 1 operation(s) for technologies.
The Companies API users API

Pricing Plans 1
Pricing is part of the interface. Machine-readable plans tell you what a tier costs and includes before you commit — one of the things the Kin Score reads for access clarity — renamed from commercial clarity in rubric 0.12, because a free statutory interface has access terms and no commercial ones.
Published pricing tiers and plan structures.
Rate Limits 1
Rate limits are the difference between a demo that works and a production integration that doesn't fall over. Publishing them is an operational-transparency signal — and a hard requirement for any agent that plans its own throughput.
Documented rate limits and quota policies.
Thecompaniesapi Rate Limits
RATE LIMITSFinOps 1
Cost, billing, and metering signals let a buyer model the financial operations of an API before it's live. We profile them for the same reason we profile pricing: the money is part of the contract.
Cost, billing, and metering signals for API financial operations.

FINOPSEvent Specifications 1
Not every API is request/response. AsyncAPI describes the event-driven and streaming side — the webhooks and channels — so the asynchronous half of the interface is documented the same way the synchronous half is.
AsyncAPI definitions for this provider's event-driven and streaming APIs.

ASYNCAPISecurity Posture 2
Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals — the evidence that a provider takes security seriously enough to document it. We profile it because you can't govern what you can't see.
Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals.
Agentic Access 1
An x-agentic-access contract marks which operations are safe for an agent to run on its own and which need a human in the loop. It is the difference between an API an agent can use and one it can use safely.
Recommended x-agentic-access execution contracts for AI agents.

The organization behind the API
← All providers · Data indexed from github.com/api-evangelist/thecompaniesapi · machine-readable index on apis.io
This is an independent, third-party profile of The Companies API, published by API Evangelist. We do not operate, host, resell, or support these APIs, and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by the company unless stated above. Everything here is built from publicly available information — the company's own site, developer portal, documentation, public repositories, and the specifications it publishes for public use. Nothing is obtained by breaching a system, defeating an access control, or using credentials.
The Kin Score and Agent Readiness rating are independently calculated assessments of a company's public API artifacts, scored against a published rubric. They are not certifications, endorsements, security assessments, or audits.
Corrections, re-scores, and removal are free — no partnership or purchase required, and you do not need to justify the request. A removed company is recorded as unrated, never scored zero for having asked. Acknowledgement within one business day; removal within two.
