Sunbiz

Every business entity registered with the Florida Division of Corporations (Sunbiz): corporations, limited liability companies, partnerships and trusts, domestic and foreign, active and inactive, with the status, the addresses, the formation date, the FEI, the registered agent and the officers the Division publishes for each. The whole registry, organized and ready to query, brought up to date every day. That is what makes a search across every entity by the name of an officer or a registered agent, or every LLC formed in Miami this quarter, a single fast call. And the Division’s other registers: every fictitious name (DBA) registered since 2008, in force or not, with its owners; every federal tax lien notice since 2009 and every release since 1993; every trademark and service mark; and every general partnership with its partners. Each owner that is a registered entity carries its document number, so an entity leads to its DBAs, marks and partnerships.

The whole source, organized and ready to query: every endpoint on this page answers in milliseconds. Every response carries as_of: how current the data is. How datasets work.

curl https://api.croma.run/us/sunbiz/entities-search/v1 \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $CROMA_API_KEY" \

        "city": "MIAMI"
      }'

Returns as_of (how current the data is), the applied filters, total and total_is_exact, page, per_page, total_pages, count and entities[].
