Clients guide

Clients represent the organizations your team evaluates and monitors. Each client record combines identity data, contact details, and finance-specific attributes such as credit limits and credit ratings. Use these endpoints to populate internal dashboards, run screening workflows, or enrich CRM data.

What a client includes

Client records typically include:

  • Identity - company_name, org_number, country, and core identifiers used across your systems.
  • Credit context - Credit limit and currency fields, plus rating values when available.
  • Contact details - Primary contact name, email, and phone number for operational outreach.
  • Operational metadata - created_at and updated_at timestamps for auditing and sync logic.

List vs. detail workflows

Use list workflows for index views and discovery, and fetch full profiles only when a user opens a client. When you only have an organization number, use the lookup flow that matches that identifier. For the authoritative contract and parameters, rely on the Clients section in the generated API reference.

Working with pagination

List responses include pagination metadata alongside data. Always use limit and page parameters to control payload size. This keeps batch jobs predictable and prevents timeouts when you synchronize a large client portfolio.

Data handling guidance

  • Sensitive fields - Treat organization numbers and contact information as sensitive data. Mask or hash values before logging.
  • Stable identifiers - Use org_number as a durable key when reconciling client records across systems.
  • Caching - Cache client responses briefly (for example, 5-15 minutes) when building dashboards to reduce API calls.
  • Change detection - Use updated_at to detect changes and reconcile client updates in your database.

Pull the latest act for a client

Clients link directly to the latest act, which is often the quickest way to show current financial context. When you need the full act history or field-level data points, move to the Acts guide and the generated API reference for the exact parameters.

Working with the API reference

The generated API reference in the sidebar documents every request and response schema for client endpoints. Combine the conceptual guidance in this page with those endpoint details to implement integrations that are both intuitive for operators and resilient in production.
