Companies API
Endpoints for Australian companies on the ASIC register: search by name, ACN or ABN, retrieve a company, buy extracts, and list office holders, addresses, share capital, members, documents, charges and external administration.
The company is the central resource in asicapi. Find a company with a name, ACN or ABN search, then retrieve it by any of its identifiers. The sub-resources below expose each section of an ASIC company extract as its own list, so you can fetch only the directors, only the addresses or only the lodged documents. Purchasing an extract unlocks the paid sections for twelve months.
For background on what ASIC records about a company, see the companies concept guide and company extracts.
