About this data
Search UK companies and export profiles, officers and filing metadata from public Companies House pages. No document downloads or PSC data.
From the actor’s Apify Store listing. The per-call endpoint may return a bounded subset; its own description is below.
Buy per call over x402
One endpoint at api.ssh.autos. Each call is one JSON POST, paid in USDC with no account or API key, and answered in the same HTTP response.
POST /v1/uk/companies-house/company
One company profile by its eight-character Companies House number, from the public GOV.UK web preview: registered name, status/type, incorporation date, registered office, SIC codes and account/confirmation-statement filing dates where published.
Officers, personal appointment records and filing-history downloads are excluded.
A recognized missing-company page returns no record.
This public route needs no private Companies House API key.

Prefer a subscription? Run it on Apify
This data source is a public actor on the Apify Store: UK Companies House Companies, Officers and Filings. Run it with your Apify account and plan for larger, scheduled or exported runs; it may offer more input options than the per-call endpoint.
How x402 payment works
- Your client sends the request. The API answers
402 Payment Requiredwith the price and where to pay. - The client pays from its own wallet: USDC on Base or Solana over x402, or over MPP on Tempo. No account, sign-up or API key.
- The client retries with the payment attached and gets the JSON answer in the same call. You are only charged for answers.
The AgentCash CLI in the example does all three steps for you and pays from your AgentCash wallet. Any x402 or MPP client works the same way.
