After a busy April releasing a product update to improve syncing with Companies House.
We are back with another update and we are excited to announce that the Inform Direct Integration API is now live!
Built as a RESTful service, our new API makes it easier than ever to connect your external systems—such as a Practice Management Systems (PMS)—directly with Inform Direct. Whether you’re managing multiple clients or just looking to streamline your onboarding workflow, this integration is designed to save time and reduce manual effort.
Ensuring that the information at Companies House is correct
Inform Direct makes it easy to see and check filings at Companies House
What can the API do?
The API includes four key endpoints that let you keep your systems in sync with Inform Direct:
Add a company – Seamlessly add new companies to your account.
Remove a company – Remove companies no longer in use.
Get all companies – Retrieve a full list of companies linked to your account returning the following information:
- Company number
- Company name
- Inform Direct’s public URL for the company (so you can directly link from another system)
Get a particular company – Access high level information for a specific company:
- Company number
- Company name
- Inform Direct’s public URL for the company (so you can directly link from another system)
With just a few calls, your systems can stay fully up-to-date without the need for manual data entry.
