# B2B company search API for India: find businesses in plain English or by filters

A B2B company search API finds Indian businesses matching a profile, such as an industry in a city or recently incorporated companies, for sales, procurement and market research.

## Good for

- Sales prospecting: manufacturers or exporters in a district
- Procurement: find suppliers by category and place
- Market sizing: count companies by industry and state
- New-business alerts: companies incorporated in a recent window

## Limits

- Contact details need a key with contact access; otherwise email and mobile are masked
- Each call, including each next page, is one billed call; /find counts once against your quota
- The AI reading of a request is shown in understood; check it before relying on the list
- No bulk downloads; the Data Licence allows internal business use, but resale and redistribution need a written licence

## Frequently asked questions

### How do I search Indian businesses by industry and city?

Use /find with a plain-English request, or /companies and /gst-registrations with category, state and district filters.

### How much does a B2B company search API cost?

IndiaCos charges INR 0.40 per successful call from a prepaid wallet, and new accounts get INR 50 free credit, about 125 calls. Errors such as 404 not found are not billed. EasyLeadz lists INR 2,499 per month billed yearly; Tofler, Dun & Bradstreet India and Probe42 do not show a price on the pages reviewed.

### Can I get emails and phone numbers?

Only on keys with contact access. Without it, email and mobile are masked.

### Can an AI agent run this check?

Yes. IndiaCos runs an MCP server at https://indiacos.com/mcp, so assistants such as Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor can call the same lookups with an API key. Each successful call is billed at INR 0.40 like any other API call. An agent can describe the business it wants and read the filters the AI chose.
