# Get company

Read a company by ID. Returns item: null when no visible record matches.

POST https://api.brigg.app/v1/operations/customers.GetCompany

## Access & visibility

Allow `customers.GetCompany` on your API key. Resource read permissions: `core:Company`.

**Workspace access by default.** Private member data requires [approved member delegation](https://developer.brigg.app/authentication#member-delegation) through `Brigg-Act-As`; the key supplies permissions while private ownership and project boundaries remain enforced.

[Set up authentication](https://developer.brigg.app/authentication) · [Choose permissions](https://developer.brigg.app/permissions)

## Request fields

Send a JSON object with the following fields. Required fields must be included; omit optional fields you do not need.
| Field | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `id` | string | Yes | ID of a visible `core:Company` record. Find it with [customers.ListCompanies](https://developer.brigg.app/reference/customers/ListCompanies). Use the record's top-level `id`, not a business field or account ID. |

## Response

Returns **200 OK** with a JSON body.

`item: null` means there is no matching record visible to this caller. It does not reveal whether an inaccessible record exists.

Record metadata sits outside `data`. Timestamps `created_at` and `updated_at` are Unix milliseconds. Optional business fields may be absent; absence does not mean false or zero. A field accepts null only when its type includes null.
| Field | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `item` | [CompanyRecord](#companyrecord-response-item) or null | Yes | null when no such record |

### CompanyRecord · response.item

| Field | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `id` | string | Yes | Stable core:Company record ID. Keep this top-level value when reading or referring to this record. Available actions are linked under Next steps; an ID does not imply the resource can be edited. |
| `created_at` | number | Yes | Time the record was created, in Unix milliseconds. |
| `updated_at` | number | Yes | Time the record most recently changed, in Unix milliseconds. Use with overlapping windows for incremental reads. |
| `created_by` | string or null | Yes | Account that originally created the record, or null for a workspace/system-originated record. This is provenance, not its current owner or a Person record ID. |
| `private` | boolean | Yes | True for a member-owned private record. An API key needs approved delegation to that owner; false alone does not bypass resource grants or other access rules. |
| `data` | [Company](#company-response-item-data) | Yes | The record's fields. |

### Company · response.item.data

| Field | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |

| `description` | string | No | Business description recorded for this company. |
| `owner_ref` | string | No | ID of a `core:Person` record. Find it with [customers.ListPeople](https://developer.brigg.app/reference/customers/ListPeople) and use the top-level `id`. This is not an account ID or a display name. |
| `website` | string | No | Company website URL, including https://. |
| `org_number` | string | No | Organisation number from the company register, stored as text to preserve leading zeros. |
| `registry_country` | string | No | Country of registration: NO for Norway or SE for Sweden. Allowed: `"NO"`, `"SE"`. |

| `tags` | array of string | No | Stable tag keys, not labels. Use [List tag vocabularies](https://developer.brigg.app/reference/customers/ListTagVocabularies) to find the vocabulary for this resource type and field, then [List tags](https://developer.brigg.app/reference/customers/ListTags) for its key/label pairs. |

## Errors & retries

This operation reads data. It needs no idempotency key and can be retried after a transient failure.

For rate limits, follow the server’s retry guidance and back off. See [HTTP errors](https://developer.brigg.app/http#errors) and [safe retries and limits](https://developer.brigg.app/reliability).

| HTTP status | Code | What to do |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 400 | `invalid_json` | Send a JSON object with Content-Type: application/json. |
| 400 | `invalid_input` | Check the request fields and types. |
| 401 | `invalid_key` | The workspace API key is missing, invalid or revoked. |
| 403 | `forbidden` | Check the key’s operation and resource grants. If Brigg-Act-As is supplied, the key must be authorized to delegate to that member. |
| 404 | `not_found` | The requested operation or resource is not available to this credential. |
| 429 | `rate_limited` | Wait for Retry-After before retrying. |
