Global Company Lookup : Initiate API

Introduction

Enables businesses to asynchronously initiate a global company search across multiple countries using company-specific search parameters such as company name and country. Instead of waiting for the search to complete, the API immediately returns a unique request identifier that can be used to track the search status and retrieve the results later. This asynchronous approach is optimized for long-running KYB (Know Your Business) workflows, ensuring improved reliability, scalability, and a better user experience when processing large or complex company searches across global business registries.
