New Business Filings

AI-generated

Summary

Retrieve newly registered businesses from official state sources across up to 10 supported states within a recent time frame or since a specified date.

Inputs

  • filingStates — Select which states to pull new business registrations from. If left empty, the operation queries all 10 supported states: New York, Colorado, Oregon, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Texas, District of Columbia, Mississippi, West Virginia, and Florida.
  • daysBack — Specify the number of days back from today to include new business registrations, between 1 and 90 days. This parameter is ignored if 'Since Date' is set. Note that Pennsylvania data may have a ~1-week lag, so use 10 or more days for it.
  • sinceDate — Optional fixed start date (YYYY-MM-DD). If provided, the operation retrieves registrations from this date forward and ignores the 'Look-Back Window (Days)' setting.
  • filingMaxPerState — Limit the maximum number of new registrations returned per state, with allowed values from 1 to 2000. Defaults to 100.

Output shape

a list of new business registration records

Returns an array of JSON objects each representing a newly filed business registration from the selected states and time window. If no records are found, outputs an item with {matched: false} and includes the input parameters. Errors produce an output item with an error message if 'Continue On Fail' is enabled, otherwise the execution stops.

Examples

Example 1: Retrieve new business filings from all supported states over the last 7 days, limiting to 100 results per state (default).

All states empty, daysBack=7, filingMaxPerState=100

Example 2: Retrieve new filings from New York and Texas since January 1, 2024, ignoring look-back days.

filingStates=[NY, TX], sinceDate='2024-01-01', filingMaxPerState=100
