}About the aiqicha.baidu.com API
This API exposes 6 endpoints covering Chinese business intelligence from Aiqicha (爱企查), Baidu's company registry platform. Use search_companies to find firms by name or registration number, get_company_detail to pull full company profiles, and dedicated endpoints for shareholders, executives, and individual business people. All responses return a status, a msg, and a structured data object containing the requested records.
Company Search and Detail
The search_companies endpoint accepts a query string — a company name, keyword, or registration number — and returns a list of matching entities from Aiqicha's database. Each match includes enough identifying data to obtain a company pid, which is the primary key used by all other company-scoped endpoints. Pass that pid to get_company_detail to retrieve the full company record, including registration details, business scope, legal status, registered capital, and address information.
Ownership and Management Data
get_company_shareholders and get_company_executives both accept a pid and return structured lists from the data field. Shareholders typically include investor names, shareholding percentages, and investment amounts. Executives cover key management roles such as legal representative, directors, and supervisors. These two endpoints allow you to map corporate ownership structures and leadership hierarchies for any company in the Aiqicha index.
People Lookup
search_people accepts a name parameter and returns business individuals who appear in Aiqicha's records — typically executives, legal representatives, or investors. The returned PIDs can then be passed to get_person_detail to retrieve a full profile, including the companies a person is associated with, their roles, and other professional background data surfaced by Aiqicha.
Coverage and Geo Restrictions
Aiqicha covers mainland Chinese registered companies and draws on public records from Chinese regulatory bodies. The source platform enforces strict mainland-China-only geo-blocking, so the API is primarily relevant for data on PRC-registered entities. Queries for Hong Kong, Macau, or Taiwan-registered companies may return limited or no results.

Does Aiqicha have an official developer API?+
What does `get_company_detail` return beyond basic registration info?+
data object from get_company_detail includes company registration details such as legal status, registered capital, business scope, establishment date, address, and the legal representative. The exact set of sub-fields reflects what Aiqicha exposes on a company's public profile page and may vary by company type or registration completeness.Does the API cover companies registered in Hong Kong, Macau, or Taiwan?+
Is risk or litigation data available through this API?+
How should I handle the `pid` parameter across endpoints?+
pid is a company or person identifier used by Aiqicha internally. You obtain a company pid from search_companies results and a person pid from search_people results. That pid is then passed directly to the detail, shareholder, or executive endpoints. Without a valid pid, those endpoints cannot return records.
