Quickstart
This quickstart is a brief introduction to our data and APIs. Don’t worry if you’ve never used an API before. With some copy and paste we’ll get you up and running quickly.
Creating an Account
In order to access our data, you will need an API key. You can get one by creating a free account at https://app.bigpicture.io/signup.
Note: this is your secret API key, so please keep it private, as we charge you credits based on usage associated with it.
Making a Request
Once you have your API key, you can look up a company profile using the Company API.
Via Postman
If you use Postman, you can easily make a request with the BigPicture Collection.
Via cURL
Here’s a cURL command that you can copy and paste into your terminal:
Before Running the Command:
Before Running the Command:
Replace XXXX with your API key and hit enter to run the command.
API_KEY=XXXX
curl "https://company.bigpicture.io/v1/companies/find/stream?domain=uber.com" \
-H "Authorization: ${API_KEY}"
This is what happens when you run this command:
- You send an API request through cURL for the profile associated with the following domain:
uber.com. - The Company API finds the matching profile record in our database, or if it doesn't exist yet, it triggers a live search.
- The API returns a JSON-formatted profile record in response with a 200 status, which indicates that a record was successfully found.
The result of running the above command should be the following profile record:
