Send a company name and this source returns matching Norwegian companies: organisation number, name, postal code and place, and a link to each company on the register.
- You send
- A company name, plus optional max_items and start_page
- You get back
- Matching Norwegian companies with organisation number, name, postal code and place, and register link
- Coverage
- Norway — entities on Brønnøysundregistrene.
- Price
- 1 point per returned record — $1 per 1,000
- Billed per record actually returned, capped by max_items. A request that returns nothing costs nothing.
Ways to get this data
Three approaches teams use today, and where each one runs into trouble.
| Approach | What it takes | Cost | Trade-off |
|---|---|---|---|
| Brønnøysundregistrene directly | Type the name into Brønnøysundregistrene 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 Norway — 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.
Results come back in the same envelope as every other source: a session id, a readable summary, the structured result and the points charged.
curl -X POST https://api.neuralverge.ai/functions/v1/run-no-companies-search \
-H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"keyword":"equinor","max_items":2}'What teams use it for
