How to get things working with Zapier?

Does anyone know how to get the API working with Zapier? I’m getting no results returned and would be grateful for some assistance. Thanks in advance.

Hi Zakloh,

Try removing the forward slash before the question mark in the URL.

For example a valid search is
https://api.companieshouse.gov.uk/search/companies?q=test

So try putting https://api.companieshouse.gov.uk/search/companies? in the search box

Thanks,
Toby

I was having similar problems with Microsoft Flow (equivalent to Zapier) and solved as per this link

Solved! Thank you Toby & Richard for your replies. It wasn’t an authorisation issue or a forward slash problem. For the benefit of people who have this issue with Zapier in the future → take a look at the image attached to this post. In it, you will find a field called “Send As JSON”. This should be set to “No” and then Zapier will simulate a form. The search will then work. I hope that helps future people. Thanks again to Toby & Richard.
