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

Topograph reads Ohio Secretary of State, Business Services and returns the company profile, legal representatives and other key persons of Ohio 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).

Datapoints

  • Company profileYes
  • Legal representativesYes
  • Other key personsYes

Documents

  • Register extractYes
  • Articles of associationNo
  • FinancialsNo
  • UBO extractNo
  • Ohio SOS Business Search (printed)

A company profile typically comes back from the register in 1 s in prefill mode and 30 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 Ohio business entity register maintained by the Ohio Secretary of State. Two channels are used: (1) the public Business Search at businesssearch.ohiosos.gov, read live for the entity profile, the statutory agent, prior names and the filing list; (2) the monthly Business Reports, published on the second Saturday of each month, covering new business filings and subsequent filings (mergers, dissolutions, cancellations, reinstatements and amendments).

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

Request a company by its Ohio Charter / Entity Number as the id, with countryCode set to US-OH. 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.
