How to search for companies using SIC Code?

#1

Hello there,

So, I can search for companies using the company name, etc. However, how do I search for companies with a specific SIC code, such as 68100, 68209, 68320, or 68310? I want to search for companies using an SIC code, So, how do I do it?

Here is my current code:

          CompaniesHouseClientResponse<CompaniesHouse.Response.Search.AllSearch.AllSearch> 
          result = null;

        string nameToSearchFor = "Steele";
        var settings = new CompaniesHouseSettings(api_key);

        using (var client = new CompaniesHouseClient(settings))
        {
            var request = new SearchRequest()
            {
                Query = nameToSearchFor,
                StartIndex = 0,
                ItemsPerPage = 10
            };


           
            result = await client.SearchAllAsync(request);

            //var result1 = await client.GetCompanyProfileAsync("10440441");


        }

Morning,
This functionality isn’t currently available. However, in the new year a new advanced search api will be available which will have this functionality.

The alternative is to use the functionality here Advanced company search - Find and update company information - GOV.UK under the nature of business section.

We search on SIC using the download csv files which works fine.
https://download.companieshouse.gov.uk/en_output.html
Note these files only have the active companies included.
You can then use these company numbers or names as input for the API if necessary.
