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

Topograph reads Maryland Business Express, SDAT Business Entity Search and returns the company profile of Maryland companies through one API.

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).

Documents

  • Register extractYes
  • Articles of associationNo

  • Maryland Business Express Public Search Record

A company profile typically comes back from the register in 2 s in prefill mode and 2 s in verification mode.

These are typical observations, not a service-level commitment: set your timeouts well above them.

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

  • Official Maryland business entity register maintained by the State Department of Assessments and Taxation (SDAT) and served via the Maryland Business Express portal. The public entity-detail page returns the SDAT Department ID, legal name, principal office address, resident agent name and address, current entity status and good-standing flag, business type and code, formation/registration date, state of formation, stock and close-corporation classifications, mailing address, and the entity's filing history. Officer rosters, shareholder lists, and certified copies of filings are not part of the anonymous public surface and require either a Maryland Business Express user account or a per-document order.

  • Global Legal Entity Identifier Foundation – Legal Entity Identifier reference data

Request a company by its SDAT Department ID as the id, with countryCode set to US-MD. 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.
