CNPJ stands for "Cadastro Nacional de Pessoas Jurídica" and is a unique identification number assigned to legal entities registered in Brazil. It serves as a registration number for Brazilian companies and is used for identification and regulatory purposes.
You can use the CNPJ Lookup API by making HTTP requests to the API endpoint with a valid CNPJ number as a parameter. The API will return company information associated with that CNPJ, such as legal name, address, contact details, and registration status.
Yes, the CNPJ Lookup API sources its data from official Brazilian government databases and reliable sources. The information provided is generally accurate and up-to-date, reflecting the latest available records.
If the API does not return any results for a particular CNPJ number, it could indicate that the company is not registered or that the provided CNPJ is invalid. It is recommended to double-check the CNPJ and verify its accuracy.
The CNPJ Lookup API returns detailed company information based on the CNPJ number. The GET endpoint provides data such as business name, trade name, creation date, legal nature, CNAE, social capital, address, and contact details. The POST endpoint returns similar information along with details about partners associated with the CNPJ.
Key fields in the response include "cnpj" (CNPJ number), "razao_social" (legal name), "nome_fantasia" (trade name), "data_criacao" (creation date), "natureza_juridica" (legal nature), "capital_social" (social capital), and "endereco" (address details).
The response data is structured in JSON format. It includes a "status" field indicating success, a "mensagem" for any messages, and a "dados" object containing the requested company information. For the POST endpoint, the response includes a "data" array with company and partner details.
Both endpoints provide comprehensive company information, including legal name, trade name, registration status, address, contact information, and industry classification (CNAE). The POST endpoint additionally provides details about partners associated with the company.
The primary parameter for both endpoints is "cnpj," which must be a valid 14-digit CNPJ number. For the POST endpoint, the request body should be formatted as JSON, containing the CNPJ number to be queried.
Data accuracy is maintained by sourcing information directly from the Brazilian Federal Revenue Service (Receita Federal). The API synchronizes with official databases to ensure that the information provided is current and reliable.
Typical use cases include business verification, KYC compliance, supplier onboarding, risk assessment, market research, and fraud prevention. Organizations use the API to validate company legitimacy and gather essential data for informed decision-making.
Users can integrate the structured JSON response into their applications to display company information, conduct analyses, or automate verification processes. Understanding key fields allows users to extract relevant data for specific business needs.
