API & Endpoint Overview
The Valu8 Public API provides programmatic access to company data across multiple countries. You can search for companies using flexible filters, retrieve corporate relationships and group structures, download batch files, and monitor subscription usage.
The API is a REST service that uses URL-based versioning, JWT bearer authentication and returns JSON or xml.
Use v2. All new integrations should target API v2 (
/v2/...). Version 2 is the current, fully supported API with the latest features, response models, and documentation. Version 1 (/v1/...) remains available for existing integrations but should not be used for new development.
API Versions
| Version | Status | Guidance |
|---|---|---|
| v2 | Current — use this | Default for all new integrations. Enhanced responses, cursor-based pagination, minified search, batch file access, and expanded relation search. Fully documented in this folder. |
| v1 | Legacy | Maintained for backward compatibility with existing integrations only. Missing batch files, semantic search, v2 relation search parameters, and several response improvements. Do not use for new integrations. |
If you are starting a new integration or migrating an existing one, use v2 exclusively. Authentication tokens are interchangeable between versions, but request/response shapes differ — do not mix v1 and v2 endpoints in the same integration.

Main categories
All endpoints are prefixed with the API version. Example:
https://api.prod1.valu8group.com/v2/companies
All API references are grouped into several main categories according to their function:
| Category | Operations |
|---|---|
| Authentication | The Authentication endpoints issue JWT access tokens and refresh tokens. |
| Batches | The Batches endpoints provide access to pre-generated bulk data files for your organization. |
| Companies | The Companies endpoint allows you to search for companies across multiple countries using filters. You can retrieve detailed company information including registration data, financial statements, LinkedIn data, and metadata timestamps. This is the primary endpoint for both searching for companies as well as fetching data about companies. |
| Relations | The Relations endpoint retrieves ownership, beneficial ownership, key person roles, and other relationdata for companies. |
| Userstatistics | The User Statistics endpoint returns current subscription usage information for the authenticated API account |
| Search-Parameters | The Search-Parameters endpoint returns a JSON list with all available attributes able to be used as search parameters when using the Companies endpoint. |
