Restful Web Services

Cedar Rose implements RESTful web services over HTTP, with a JSON response, and thus, we can integrate with any web based solution.

General RESTful Response Guide
  • HTTP Code 200: Success
  • HTTP Code 400: Error
General RESTful Response Guide

JSON property names are case sensitive. Therefore, if the web service expects "Name", then "name" wouldn't be valid.

Example:


{Name: "cedar rose"} // valid
{name: "cedar rose"} // not valid

JSON Property Value

JSON property string values are NOT case sensitive.

Example:

{Name:"cedar rose"} is same as {Name: "Cedar Rose"}

FAQs

Please note that our database contains millions of records and when the API searches a company name it also searches the trading names, the former names, the branch names and so on.

  • use the “country” filter in your API company searches.
  • try to avoid searching for companies using “one word” only.
  • if you use “one word” searches or short searches, please avoid using words that are very common, example “International” which is present in thousands of companies names in all the countries we cover.
  • avoid using the “contains” filter when you can use other options like “Exact”, “Starts With”, “Ends With”. Example: you can search for “Cedar Rose%” instead of “%Cedar Rose%” when searching for Cedar Rose Int. Services Ltd.
  • We are referring to native/Arabic as we are adding Persian names in our database to companies and individuals.
  • When Searching for an Individual: Searching through our API will enable users to use both native/Arabic and Latin/Romanised characters when searching for an individual relations for Directorship/Shareholding in our database. The result returns findings in the same language used for searching i.e. either Arabic or Latin/Romanised as searched. We believe the search language option will add greater accuracy for matching even if the search used is a fuzzy search. I believe fuzzy searches are usually done when the analyst is not sure of the spelling and particularly when converting from native i.e. Arabic to Latin/Romanised characters, but in this case of ours, we offer searching with both types characters.
  • When Searching for a company: Currently searching through our API enables users to use Latin/Romanised characters only when searching for a company relations for Directorship/Shareholding. However, we have scheduled and by end of December for this service to also offer native/Arabic as well as the Latin/Romanised characters search.
