Step-by-step guide
Here's a step-by-step guide to make an API call to the Autocomplete API Endpoint, using Postman.
Click on + in your workspace to add a new call.
Ensure the request type is set to POST
Copy and paste the link below into the Enter URL or paste text field, where you replace XXX with your API token (need help to find your API token?)
Ensure you add Content-Type: application/json in your Headers.
In the Body, parse in "name" what the search input should be. If you want the suggested companies to have a primary location in particular countries, you can parse an extra filter called "countryFilters" to narrow the list down. Below is an example:
{
"name": "ocea",
"countryFilters": [
"dk",
"se"
]
}
Ensure you choose JSON in the Body, before hitting Send and make your call.
That's it! Now you can find all information related to this company
