UK Companies House

Company House Document API

Company House Document downloads a document filed with UK Companies House, such as annual accounts or a confirmation statement, as a PDF. The document ID comes from the filing history in a company report or a UK Business Check.

  • Any filing in a company's history that Companies House holds as a PDF, fetched by the document ID from the filing history
  • Returned as the PDF itself in the response body, ready to store against the matter
For developers

After the technical detail?

For the technical detail, go to the API documentation. It holds the request and response schema, the integration guides and the error codes for this endpoint.

  • Parameters and status codes
  • Document workflow and sandbox document IDs

Accounts start in the sandbox. Production keys are issued once the account is approved.

What the check gives you

Getting the filed document itself, not a summary of it

A filing history tells you that accounts or a confirmation statement were filed and when. Due diligence often needs the document. Company House Document takes the document ID from the filing history and returns the PDF Companies House holds, so the accounts themselves can be read and stored.

The document as filed

A 200 response carries the document as a PDF in the response body.

Where the ID comes from

Each filing in a Company House Report or a UK Business Check carries a document ID where a document is available; that ID is all the call takes.

When no PDF exists

If the requested document is not available in PDF format, the call returns a 415 response rather than a document.

What is typically available

Annual accounts, confirmation statements and other filings associated with a company.

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 Company House Document

Do we need a developer to implement this?
Yes. Company House Document is a REST call that returns a PDF in the response body, so a developer connects it to the system that stores your due-diligence files. 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 document ID from a company's filing history, in the URL path. Nothing else.
What comes back?
The document as a PDF file. If the document is not available in PDF format, a 415 response with a message saying so.
Where do we find the document ID?
In the filing history of a Company House Report, or in the last 12 months of filings returned by UK Business Check. A filing with no document available carries no ID.
Where does the document come from?
Companies House, which holds the documents filed by each company. In the sandbox, IDs beginning sandbox-document- return a placeholder PDF.
How many calls can we make?
The API allows 600 requests per minute by default, measured as a rolling average, and returns a 429 response above that rate. A higher limit can be requested through Global Data support with a description of the operational need.
Getting started

The first step to access is a conversation

New accounts begin with sandbox access, and production API keys are issued once the account has been commercially approved.
