Ways to get this data
Three approaches teams use today, and where each one runs into trouble.
| Approach | What it takes | Cost | Trade-off |
|---|---|---|---|
| KBO/BCE, the Belgian Crossroads Bank for Enterprises directly | Search KBO Public Search in Dutch or French and read each section by hand | 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 | $5 per 1,000, misses not billed | Covers Belgium — other countries are separate sources with the same request format |

How to run it
The same lookup works from the app, the API, or as a tool an agent can call mid-task.
A JSON schema passed as extract_schema_json pins the response shape, which is why one endpoint serves every register in the catalog — only the URL and the schema change. The Get API Code button in the app hands you the complete command with the schema already filled in.
