What the check gives you

Collecting the business summary once the deep dive has finished

A Business Intelligence request runs in the background and can take several minutes. This call reports where it is and, once complete, carries the summary. Your system supplies the request UUID and reads the status until it is complete or failed.

Where the request is

The status is pending before processing starts, processing while it runs, complete when the data is available, or failed. A status message explains the current state.

The registration picture

Once complete, the data carries the ABN with its name history, status, type, registration date and location, the GST and charity status history, and the ACN details and recent ASIC documents where applicable.

The online picture

The domains checked and the websites found, each marked active or archived with a summary.

What the business does

A summary of the business, the ANZSIC code and description, and AUSTRAC remitter details where applicable.

How a check runs

The request returns at once; this call carries the waiting

The Business Intelligence request returns at once with a UUID. This call reports the status and carries the data once complete. Repeat it until the status is complete or failed.

The query can take several minutes. This endpoint is experimental and subject to change.

Reading the result

What each answer means for the record in front of you

The status field tells your system whether to read the data, wait, or give up.

Complete

The summary is ready

The data object carries the business summary. Store it and stop polling.

Processing

The deep dive is still running

The status is pending or processing and the status message says more. Check again later; the query can take several minutes.

Failed

The request could not be completed

The status is failed. Submit a new Business Intelligence request or contact support with the API reference.

What it costs

A monthly subscription, drawn down as you run checks

Your subscription is credited to your account each month and each check consumes credits from it. If you go past the included amount, further checks are charged at a per-check rate. The rate depends on the volume you commit to, so the sales team is the fastest way to find where your business lands.

  • Volume-based pricing
  • No lock-in contract
How billing works
Subscribe monthly, spend it as credits
  • The monthly subscription arrives as credits on your account.
  • Each check draws down credits as it runs.
  • Checks beyond the included credits are billed per check.
  • Higher monthly volume moves you to a lower rate.

Questions

Questions we get asked about Retrieve Business Intelligence Request

Do we need a developer to implement this?
Yes. The retrieve call is a REST endpoint that must be repeated until the status is complete or failed, so a developer builds the polling into your system alongside the request. A sandbox with a deterministic test dataset is provided at no usage cost, so the integration can be built and tested before production keys are issued.
What does our system need to send?
The request UUID returned by the Business Intelligence request, in the URL path.
What comes back?
The status, a status message, and once complete the data object with the ABN and its name history, statuses, GST and charity history, ACN details and recent documents, business names, domains, websites, a summary, the ANZSIC code and description, and remitter details.
Is this endpoint stable?
No. The reference marks the Business Intelligence API as experimental and subject to change.
Are the results we retrieve stored by Global Data?
Personally identifiable information sent in a request is not stored or retained unless it is needed to process that request. Query data is stripped of PII before it is kept for audit. Data in transit and at rest is encrypted, and retention follows the Australian Privacy Act and the Australian Privacy Principles. Global Data is not a credit bureau and does not create an access footprint on any record.
