Search companies

Search companies

Searches Crustdata's company database with structured filters, a natural-language query or both, and returns ranked companies with a cursor for the next page.

Note: Up to 100 results per page, and every page costs credits: follow next_cursor only as far as you need.

Set up

Use the first option your agent supports.

CLI (official)

Install the command, then confirm it runs.

curl -fsSL https://static-assets.crustdata.com/cli/install.sh | sh
crustdata --version

Run crustdata company search.

Set $CRUSTDATA_API_KEY in your environment first (get a key: https://app.crustdata.com/api-keys).

API (official)

Before anything else, confirm access with the cheapest read-only call, like a list or a search. Never send or change anything to test access.

Rules

• Ask the user before anything that sends messages, costs money, or changes data, and say how many records it touches. One approval covers a batch the user has seen.
• Never print API keys.
