How should you choose a company data API?

Check the data date per source, because a company master record can be older than the provider's latest refresh.

Check the data date per source, because a company master record can be older than the provider's latest refresh.
Decide whether you need filings and financials, or lookups of status, directors, charges and GST.
Check how companies are matched across sources, for example from a PAN to its GSTINs or from a name to its court cases.
Prefer providers that publish prices and let you sign up without a sales call if you want to test quickly.
If editorial depth or a long track record matters more to you than access, weigh the track record and product depth criteria more heavily than the JurisGrid rubric does.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best company data API in India?

Where does Indian company data come from?

Indian company data mostly comes from Ministry of Corporate Affairs filings for companies and LLPs, GST registrations, and court and regulator records. Providers differ in how often they refresh each source and how they join them. Ask for the data date per source, since a company master record can be older than the provider's latest refresh.

Which company data APIs in India have an MCP server?

IndiaCos lists a public MCP server in this review. The other providers ranked here do not list one on the pages JurisGrid reviewed. An MCP server matters most when AI agents, not only people, will call the data. Check each provider's tool list before relying on it, since tool counts and billing differ.

Which company data APIs in India publish prices?

IndiaCos, NexGenData OGD India Companies, Infyner, Tofler and QorpIQ publish prices in this review. The others quote on request, sell by subscription without a price list or publish nothing on the pages reviewed. Published prices let you estimate a bill before you contact anyone. Prices change, so confirm them on the provider's pricing page.

Which company data APIs in India can you start using without a sales call?

IndiaCos, InstaFinancials, NexGenData OGD India Companies, Tofler, IndiaFilings and Zauba Corp offer self-serve sign-up in this review. IndiaCos gives INR 50 free credit on signup. Providers that route sign-up through sales may still be strong choices for managed or enterprise needs. Sign-up routes change, so confirm them on each provider's site.

How does JurisGrid rank company data APIs in India?

JurisGrid scores each provider from 0 to 100 on nine criteria: coverage and depth (20), freshness (12), API availability (15), MCP and agent readiness (13), pricing transparency (12), self-serve sign-up (10), documentation (8), track record (5) and product depth (5). Rankings follow the score and use only public evidence.
