Welcome. It’s not clear from your description how you are accessing Companies House. If you still have problems you should report how you do this e.g.:

Or:
"I am using the following command in curl: curl -uMY_APIKEY_FOLLOWED_BY_A_COLON: https://api.companieshouse.gov.uk/search?walmart and I get the following response: … "
Note - Companies House recommend you don’t write your real API key here - just put some text to show where you’d put it.

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP
…and there is a series of articles on REST at:
