📄 Document Metadata Simplification

We’ve simplified document metadata fields for better consistency and clarity:

This change provides a more predictable API structure and eliminates confusion about which field to use for document identification and description.

Countries

🇩🇪 Germany

Intelligent ID-Based Search EnhancementsWe’ve significantly improved the German company search with intelligent ID parsing and prioritization:
  • ID Extraction: We parse queries to extract and validate German company ID components (bureau/court, registry type like HRB/HRA, registration number) from natural language queries. Includes full validation against all 154 known bureaus and 6 registry types, with fuzzy matching for variations (e.g., “Munchen” matches “München”).
  • Full ID Precision: When all three ID components are detected and yield an exact match, returns a single precise result without name search fallback.
  • Partial ID Prioritization: For queries with 1-2 ID components, partial ID matches are ranked first, followed by name search results (deduplicated by ID).
  • Robust Fallback: If full ID search fails or query lacks ID components, seamlessly falls back to comprehensive name search.
This enhancement provides precision for ID-based lookups while maintaining broad discoverability for general searches. Supports queries like “München HRB 228960” (exact single result) or “HRB 12345” (prioritized partial matches).

🇵🇱 Poland

Ultimate Beneficial Owners SupportWe’ve added comprehensive UBO (Ultimate Beneficial Owner) support for Polish companies through integration with CRBR (Centralny Rejestr Beneficjentów Rzeczywistych):

  • ubo_extract document - Official PDF extract from CRBR, conditionally available only when UBO data exists
Financial Documents SupportAdded support for retrieving financial statements for Polish companies with automatic XML-to-PDF conversion:
  • Automatic XML conversion - Financial documents in XML format (Ministry of Finance schema) are automatically converted to human-readable PDF format using the official Polish government visualization tool at e-sprawozdania.mf.gov.pl
  • Dual format availability - Both the original XML and converted PDF are stored and accessible
  • Seamless handling - Conversion happens transparently during document retrieval with graceful fallback to XML if conversion fails
Note: Due to technical limitations of the Polish registry portal, document format information is not available during listing and is only determined when documents are downloaded.

Major Data Model Enhancements
We are progressively rolling out these data model enhancements to our supported countries, depending on the availability of data in the currently connected registries. This means that not all enhancements may be available for every country immediately, but coverage will expand as registry data allows.

This includes board members, auditors, commissioners, and other significant roles. Unlike legal representatives who have binding authority, Other Key People provides visibility into the broader governance and oversight structure of a company.
  • Phone Numbers - Companies can now include multiple phone numbers in E.164 format (e.g., +33123456789), making it easier to establish contact through official channels.

The data model for status details is highly likely to evolve as we gather feedback and adapt to the diversity of registry data. As this feature is in beta, we’re actively collecting feedback to refine the data structure and ensure it meets your needs.
