Access and cost

Approval or eligibility may be required

Public Companies House website data plus an API; developers create an application and use API keys/credentials, with separate streaming credentials available.

Cost: Current price was not established in this review; check the provider's access terms.

Update cadence: Release cadence was not normalized in this review; check the source's dates, update notes, and API limits before comparing periods.

Interpret carefully

Limits that affect the decision

The official getting-started page directs developers to security, API rate-limit, and enumerated-type guidance; production users must design around those limits and the API's credential requirements.; Companies registered under the UK Companies Act framework (including the companies covered by Companies House), not a global company master.; Reflects registrations and filings held by Companies House and changes as new filings arrive; it is not a guaranteed real-time history of every corporate event.

Release cadence was not normalized in this review; check the source's dates, update notes, and API limits before comparing periods.
