BetaCompany data from the Maine business register, through the Topograph API.
Topograph reads Maine Secretary of State, Division of Corporations, UCC & Commissions and returns the company profile and other key persons of Maine 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).
A company profile typically comes back from the register in 1 s in prefill mode and 1 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 Maine business entity register maintained by the Secretary of State, Division of Corporations, UCC & Commissions. Covers domestic and foreign business corporations, limited liability companies, limited partnerships, limited liability partnerships, and nonprofit corporations. Each entity carries a Charter Number of 8 or 9 digits followed by a one- or two-letter entity-type suffix. The public Information Corporate Registry System (ICRS) exposes the legal name, charter number, filing type, status, filing or qualification date, jurisdiction, assumed and former names, the principal home office address, and the clerk or registered agent name and address. Maine does not publish corporate officers, directors, shareholders, or beneficial owners. Bulk data is sold separately by the state portal administrator; all reads here are live against the ICRS portal.
