Search companies by business type

You can now filter companies by their business type, directly from the interface or the API.

Supported types include:

In the interface

Use the Business Type filter in the sidebar of your search view to refine your results instantly.

Via the API

Use the about.businessType field in your search query:

Example

Find nonprofits in the US:

import createClient from '@thecompaniesapi/sdk'

const tca = createClient({ apiToken: 'YOUR_API_TOKEN' })

// Documentation: https://www.thecompaniesapi.com/api/search-companies
const response = await tca.searchCompanies({
  [
    {
      "attribute": "about.businessType",
      "operator": "or",
      "sign": "equals",
      "values": [
        "nonprofit"
      ]
    },
    {
      "attribute": "locations.headquarters.country.code",
      "operator": "or",
      "sign": "equals",
      "values": ["us"]
    }
  ]
})

You can also combine this with other filters like industry, technology, size, or traffic to build powerful, targeted queries.
