Data & coverage

Where the data comes from, how fresh it is, and what the API covers.

Sourced from the official register

All company data comes from the Crossroads Bank for Enterprises (BCE/KBO), the official Belgian company register. We import the open data files published by the register and expose them through a clean REST API — no scraping, no third-party resellers.
