Notes and limits

• Result cap. The NY DOS database returns at most 300 matches per search, in a single response. To narrow broad searches, use a more specific searchValue, set match to beginsWith, or filter by entityStatus.
• Full contact details. With withDetails enabled (default), each entity is enriched from New York's open data registry with the registered agent, the agent designated for service of process, the chairman / CEO and the principal physical location, each with a full mailing address. These fields are populated when the State publishes them for an entity and returned as null otherwise. Set withDetails to false to return search-level fields only.
• One clean record is produced per search result row, including assumed-name (DBA) rows where applicable.

Use cases

• KYC, due diligence and compliance checks on New York entities.
• Lead generation and enrichment from a company name.
• Verifying entity existence, status, type and formation jurisdiction.
