Search companies by name

You can now retrieve company profiles by providing a company name with our API.

This is useful when you don’t have a domain but still want to enrich a lead or research a company.

API Endpoint: /v2/companies/by-name?name=microsoft

Things to know:

  • You may receive multiple results for common names (e.g. “Bolt”)

  • If you have the domain, use /by-domain for a guaranteed match

  • You can filter by country or sort by employee count, traffic, or industry

  • Preview mode available with simplified=true (no credits used)

Query examples:

  • Find all companies named “Amazon” in the US: /companies/by-name?name=amazon&countries=us

  • Sort by score and fetch 5 results: /companies/by-name?name=bolt&size=5&sortKey=meta.score&sortOrder=desc

Great for:

  • Enriching leads where you only have a company name

  • Building prospecting workflows from spreadsheets or forms

  • Cleaning and verifying company names in a database

→ Pro tip: Use exactWordsMatch=false to include broader variations like “Bank of America” for “Bank of A”.
