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”.
