We are trying to access /businesses/{identifier}/parties endpoint in the sandbox environment to test the functionality but its returning 401 response. It seems like we only have access to Registry Search API but not to Business Registry API
Could you please help us enable access for Business Registry API in Sandbox environment and also if there are reference documentation for test data such as Account ID and identifiers; which we can use to search details. The exact API which we are trying to access is: https://bcregistry-sandbox.apigee.net/business/api/v2/businesses/{identifier}/parties
In the attached screenshots, you can verify that using the same api key and account ID, I am able to access business search api but for business api , it returns 401 error.
@simranjeets in this case the issue is what is deemed public data. With business search it only returns public data, so you are able to retrieve that. With the search that is returning a 401 the call is not a public call. You would need to have that business linked to your account and access it in that way. If it’s not a business you own you’d need to purchase information through the business summary via the search api (business summary includes parties data).
Thank you for your reply. Is there any way we can use the Business/api/v2/businesses/{identifier}/parties endpoint directly. This endpoint is under Business category which we want to use. Specifically we want to get Director information from the parties data. Business search does not provide us Director information, it only provide information about partners and proprietors .
Could you please confirm how we can use the above mentioned api for our use case… and what we can do to get access to this data?
@simranjeets directors cannot be searched by public accounts. This is not part of our public offering. To see directors for a company, you can search the company itself, but there is no ability to look up a directors name to determine the company(ies) they are linked to.
