Rapleaf for companies - API to get corporate info?

Question

Is there an API or tool for getting company information, such as:

• location
• revenue
• number of employees
• location(s)

And conversely, given constraints on the above parameters, return matching businesses?

Answer 1

For publicly traded companies, you can get a lot of this information from http://www.mergent.com/servius

For all US companies, use http://compass.webservius.com - it can work in both modes (given a business return its location/sales/number of employees/etc, and given these parameters can return a list of businesses)
