When using the search endpoint, the title
field sometimes has a double space before the final “LIMITED” or “LTD”. This isn’t in the company name in company profile. Is this a bug around adding terminal “LTD” / “LIMITED” designations?
Example - note the double space in the title returned:
curl -u%APIKEY%: “https://api.companieshouse.gov.uk/search/companies?q=07581392&items_per_page=2”
{
"kind": "search#companies",
"items_per_page": 2,
"start_index": 0,
"items": [
{
"description": "07581392 - Incorporated on 29 March 2011",
"title": "ASCN LIMITED",
"kind": "searchresults#company",
"company_type": "ltd",
"company_number": "07581392",
"company_status": "active",
...
}],
"page_number": 1,
"total_results": 1
}
If I look at the company profile, no such double space appears.
curl -u%APIKEY%: “https://api.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/07581392”
{
"type": "ltd",
"company_number": "07581392",
"company_name": "ASCN LIMITED",
"etag": "b57e83fbb13a69cbc5f13e1fa71ef7928a3bb8c6",
"company_status": "active",
...
}
Another:
curl -u%APIKEY%: “https://api.companieshouse.gov.uk/search/companies?q=08543894&items_per_page=2”
{
"page_number": 1,
"total_results": 1,
"kind": "search#companies",
"items_per_page": 2,
"start_index": 0,
"items": [
{
"company_type": "ltd",
"company_number": "08543894",
"company_status": "active",
"kind": "searchresults#company",
"title": "CAS INTL LTD",
"description": "08543894 - Incorporated on 24 May 2013",
...
}]
}
