Search state Secretary-of-State business registries, normalized to one schema across states. Currently supported: NY (active corporations + LLCs), CO (all entities incl. status), and CT (Business Registry Master incl. type, status, NAICS). Query by name (partial, case-insensitive) or exact entityId; results: state, entity id, name, type, status, formation jurisdiction, formation date, principal/registered address, registered agent. KYC, vendor due-diligence, and counterparty-verification staple. Each state sourced from its official open-data portal.

Code samples

cURLbash

# 1. Probe with no auth → 402 envelope with PaymentRequirements
curl -sS 'https://2s.io/api/business/sos-search?state=NY&name=xx&entityId=xx&limit=10&offset=0'

# 2. Sign + retry with PAYMENT-SIGNATURE:
curl -sS 'https://2s.io/api/business/sos-search?state=NY&name=xx&entityId=xx&limit=10&offset=0' \
  -H 'PAYMENT-SIGNATURE: <base64-json-payload>'

# Or use the canonical runner (handles probe → sign → retry):
#   EVM_PRIVATE_KEY=0x... node --env-file=.env.local \
#     --experimental-strip-types scripts/x402-pay.ts \
#     'https://2s.io/api/business/sos-search?state=NY&name=xx&entityId=xx&limit=10&offset=0'
