Do I pay for lookups that come back empty?

No. You are charged per result, so a request that finds nothing costs nothing. Testing this against a messy list is free to get wrong.

What does a lookup cost?

2 points per returned record, which is $2 per 1,000, and only records that come back are charged. Points come out of your monthly plan allowance, so there is no separate per-country contract.

Corporate registry

Portugal Company Filings API and MCP — Registry Acts, Accounts and Notices

Send a NIF/NIPC and get that company's publications from the Registo Comercial portal, newest first. Each row has a date, the act type (registry acts, accounts deposits, notices, convocations), the municipality, and flags for whether text and an attachment exist.

Run it in the app Read the API docs

You send: a Portuguese NIF/NIPC or record link, plus optional max_items and start_page
You get back: Publications newest first: date, act type, municipality and whether text or an attachment exists
Coverage: Portugal — entities on Registo Comercial publications portal.
Price: 2 points per returned record — $2 per 1,000; Billed per record actually returned, capped by max_items. A request that returns nothing costs nothing.

Comparison

Ways to get this data

Three approaches teams use today, and where each one runs into trouble.

Approach	What it takes	Cost	Trade-off
Registo Comercial publications portal directly	Open the company on Registo Comercial publications portal and page through the list	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	$2 per 1,000, misses not billed	Covers Portugal — other countries are separate sources with the same request format

Integration

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-pt-company-filings \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"company":"500697256","max_items":2}'

Use cases

What teams use it for

Where this field shows up in an actual workflow.

Filing monitoring

Check a Portuguese company for new mergers, capital changes or accounts deposits.

Accounts availability

See when annual and consolidated accounts were last deposited.

Due diligence

Review the registry acts on a company before signing, newest first.

Coverage & limits

Coverage, freshness and limits

What this source covers, how fresh it is, and where it stops.

Coverage

Portugal — entities on Registo Comercial publications portal.

Freshness

Read at request time, so the answer reflects the register as it stands when you ask.

Handling

Registo Comercial publications portal is a public register. Every response carries the source URL it was read from and a session id you can trace.

What it will not do

—Rows describe each publication and link to it; the text of the act is not returned here.
—total_found can be large for big companies, so use max_items and start_page.
—You need the NIPC first. Portugal company search finds it from a name.
