How to link Officer name with the probably associated Companies?

API Changes Information
#1

Hi,

Just wondering, if there any way to map a person/officer’s name to the company that he/she is associated with, through appointments or something?

Is there an API available for the same? or can multiple APIs be knitted together to achieve this?

Regards,

There are essentially two use cases to determining officers of a company.

- List officers by company;

Search for company using company name;

Once the company is identified then list the officers for the company using the company number:
https://developer.companieshouse.gov.uk/api/docs/company/company_number/officers/officers.html

You can then use the links provided in this resource to list appointments by person.

- List appointments by person

Search for person using name;

Once the person is identified then list the appointments for that person using the officer_id

Hope this helps

Thanks
