Company lookup API
Search any NZ building or trade company by name and get its register status, incorporation date, location, live verified status and the profile URL to link to. Access is by key so the service stays fast for everyone: email contact@checkbase.co.nz and we will send one over, usually the same day. Responses are cached for 24 hours; keys carry a generous daily allowance.
