Ways to get this data
Three approaches teams use today, and where each one runs into trouble.
| Approach | What it takes | Cost | Trade-off |
|---|---|---|---|
| Superintendencia de Compañías directly | Type the name into Superintendencia de Compañías and read the results | Usually free, sometimes per-document | A different interface, language and data shape for every country you add |
| Collecting it yourself | Build and host a crawler per register, then keep each one alive | Infrastructure and maintenance | Registers change their pages without warning, and nobody is on the hook when yours breaks |
| NeuralVerge | One request, the same shape as every other source in the catalog | $1 per 1,000, misses not billed | Covers Ecuador — other countries are separate sources with the same request format |
