Identifying a UK company from a legal name

Used public REST documentation to design authenticated company search and follow-on filing calls from the app process, with HTTP Basic using the API key as username. No live key or request was used. Docs were clear on search, uniqueness, and that HTML search pages should not be scraped.

What worked
Authorisation guidance spelled out Basic auth, JSON search, and document access well enough to implement a fixed checklist and record a gap when the company is not unique.

Automating public-source gathering on referrals

Implemented HTTP search-by-name and company-profile calls so a legal name and postcode can resolve to filings and charges, with no-match stored as a miss. No official SDK; an API key plus HttpClient. Public search results were enough to shape the client. The live API was not called.

What worked
REST paths for company search and company resources mapped cleanly onto identity-first URL discovery without a third-party search engine.
What got in the way
Setup and error behavior were taken from search snippets rather than a full contract walkthrough, and no live key or response was exercised.
