# Chile

Company data from the Chile business register, through the Topograph API.

> **Beta**: this country is in early development. We are still expanding and refining its coverage. Some datapoints or documents may be missing, the integration may be unstable, prices may change without notice, and it is not covered by SLAs.

## Overview

Topograph reads Chile Internal Revenue Service (SII) and returns the company profile of Chile companies through one API.

> **Warning**
> **Chile is prefill-only.** Every request must pass `"mode": "prefill"`. The country is served from the tax authority’s published lists, a non-authoritative source, so there is no lane for `verification` (which is what `/v2/company` uses when you omit `mode`). A request without it comes back with the datapoint failed and the error code `authoritative_source_unavailable`. See [Modes](https://docs.topograph.co/essentials/modes).

Search by name or RUT. The RUT is the identifier to use with company requests: it identifies every Chilean legal entity, with or without dots and hyphen.

Coverage is every legal entity registered with the SII: companies, partnerships, foundations, associations, cooperatives, public bodies and foreign entities with a Chilean RUT. Individuals are not covered, including those trading under their own RUT; a single-owner company (E.I.R.L.) is a legal entity and is covered.

The company profile gives the legal name, RUT, legal form, status, start-of-activities date, registered activities and head-office address, as of the SII’s latest published list.

## Coverage

Requests run in prefill mode (fast); there is no verification path here yet.

## Sources

The registers this country’s data comes from. Secondary sources only enrich or check what the registers return.

- **[Chile Internal Revenue Service (SII)](https://www.sii.cl/sobre_el_sii/nominapersonasjuridicas.html)**: The Servicio de Impuestos Internos, Chile’s tax authority, issues the RUT that identifies every Chilean legal entity. It publishes lists of every legal-entity taxpayer it has registered: name, RUT, taxpayer subtype (legal form), start-of-activities and cessation dates, registered economic activities and registered addresses. The SII republishes the lists a few times a year.

## Identifiers

Request a company by its RUT (Rol Único Tributario) as the `id`, with `countryCode` set to `CL`. Its format, validation rules and an example value are in the full reference.

## The full Chile reference

The full reference covers how each datapoint is sourced and mapped, the vocabularies the API returns, the documents you can order and exact example responses. It is free with a Topograph account.
