Belgian company lookup API: enterprise numbers and names

Look up an enterprise number

Set STRALE_API_KEY to your API key, then run:

curl -X POST https://api.strale.io/v1/do \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $STRALE_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "capability_slug": "belgian-company-data",
    "inputs": { "enterprise_number": "0417497106" },
    "max_price_cents": 5
  }'

The enterprise number can include dots or a BE prefix. To search by name instead, replace the inputs object with {"company_name":"ANHEUSER-BUSCH INBEV"}. This is a single-record lookup, not a list of search candidates. Check the returned name and registration number before using the result.

Read the record

The response's output contains the company fields. registration_number is the enterprise number; company_name is the returned name. Address, legal form and registration date may be missing. This tool does not supply directors or beneficial owners.

The returned vat_number is derived from the enterprise number. It does not show whether the company is registered for VAT. Use VAT Validation for that separate check.

Continue the workflow

Compare the returned record with the supplier or invoice details you already have. If the identities differ, resolve that mismatch before running further checks. Sanctions Check can then screen the company name for potential matches; those results still need review.
