​
Overview

Zapier lets you connect apps and automate workflows without code. The OpenRegister Zapier integration provides actions to search companies and fetch company data (details, owners, holdings, financials, and documents) so you can enrich, route, and process data inside your Zaps.

​
Prerequisites

  • An OpenRegister API key — get one in the OpenRegister Keys
  • Access to the OpenRegister Zapier integration (request access below)

​
Access

The integration is currently available on request.
  1. Email us at founders@openregister.de with subject “Zapier Integration”.
  2. We’ll grant your Zapier account access to the OpenRegister app.
  3. You can then add OpenRegister actions to your Zaps.

​
Authentication

OpenRegister uses API key authentication. Create a connection when adding your first OpenRegister action:
  1. In a Zap, add an “OpenRegister” action.
  2. When prompted to “Choose account”, click “Connect a new account”.
  3. Paste your API key into the API Key field and confirm.
  4. The connection will be reused across OpenRegister steps.
If you need an API key, see the Authentication guide.

​
Available actions

Actions map to common OpenRegister API endpoints. Typical actions include:
  • Company search (simple)
  • Get company information
  • Get company owners
  • Get company holdings
  • Get company financials
Each action’s inputs and outputs are documented in Zapier and align with the responses described in this API documentation.

​
Example: Search and enrich a company

This example searches a company name, then fetches details and financials.
  1. Trigger: choose any trigger (e.g., Schedule → Every day).
  2. Action: OpenRegister → Search Companies. Set “Query” (e.g., “Miles Mobility”).
  3. Action: OpenRegister → Get Company. Set “Company ID” from step 2’s first result.
  4. (Optional) Action: OpenRegister → Get Financials. Set “Company ID” from step 3.
  5. Continue your Zap (e.g., filter, store to Airtable/Sheets/DB, send a notification, enrich a CRM).

​
Troubleshooting

  • 401 Unauthorized: Reconnect the OpenRegister account and verify the API key.
  • 402 Payment Required: Your account lacks credits for this endpoint. Top up credits.
  • 429 Too Many Requests: You hit a rate limit. Add a delay or reduce concurrency.
  • 5xx Server Error: Retry with Zapier’s built‑in retry/delay. If persistent, contact support.
