One unified endpoint

A single POST call covers every state. No per-state integrations, no scrapers to babysit.

Fresh lookups when you need them, millisecond responses from cache when you don’t.

Rich entity records

Status, entity type, formation date, registered agent, and principal address — normalized.

50 states + DC

Full national coverage from one consistent schema. The state is just a parameter.

UCC & officer lookup

Built for developers

Developer experience

A request you can read at a glance
