- XML gateway search service
Our XML gateway offers access to Companies House data and documents as a computer to computer search service.
Data and documents are requested and delivered using XML (eXtensible Markup Language). This will allow users of the service to search company records from within their own software.
Standard XML data schemas must be used as defined in the interface specification which can be found on our dedicated XML gateway output page.
Users must carry out a test to confirm they can request and receive data before an XML output account can be opened.
There’s a monthly subscription fee of £4.70, plus additional charges for data or documents requested. Users get 15% off their total monthly invoice value. Basic company information is available for free.
If you’d like to know more about development or testing, you can contact xml@companieshouse.gov.uk.
