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

Topograph reads Ecuador Superintendence of Companies and returns the company profile, legal representatives, other key persons, shareholders and ultimate beneficial owners of Ecuador companies through one API.

Search by company name, expediente (the Superintendencia’s file number) or RUC. Use the expediente returned by search to request company information.

Company information is served in prefill and verification mode from the Superintendencia’s directory, which it republishes daily. Verification returns it only when it is confirmed to be the latest publication.

Officers, shareholders and beneficial owners are read live from the Superintendencia’s company record, in verification mode only.

What comes back for each datapoint and document, as on the coverage matrix.

Requests run in prefill mode (fast) or verification mode (the authoritative register answer).

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

  • The Superintendencia de Compañías, Valores y Seguros supervises Ecuadorian companies (S.A., Cía. Ltda., S.A.S., foreign branches and mixed-economy companies). It publishes each company’s file number, RUC, legal form, legal status, incorporation date, address, legal representative and subscribed capital.

Request a company by its Expediente (Superintendencia de Compañías file number) as the id, with countryCode set to EC. Its format, validation rules and an example value are in the full 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.
