Is postal code search available?

#1

Hello,

I need to do a postal code search but not finding any help from api documentation. So i am not really sure whether i can do it or not. Please let me know details / help if i can do it.

Is there a API for this…?

You can search by postcode in the Companies Search API - is that what you mean?

Beware though that there is currently a limit that will only return the first 400 results. It’ll tell you, for example, 487 for HP27DN, but after index 300 (if 100/page) returns error.

You can do this

curl -uYOUR_APIKEY_FOLLOWED_BY_A_COLON: https://api.companieshouse.gov.uk/search/companies&q=POSTCODE

You can try it here: https://developer.companieshouse.gov.uk/api/docs/search/companies/companysearch.html#here
