We source our data directly from official government registries across 200+ countries. I&#8217;d love for this community to test it out and let me know how it compares to what you&#8217;re currently using.<\/p>\n<p>Mainly interested in understanding:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>How do you currently verify companies and directors internationally?<\/li>\n<li>What data providers do you use today?<\/li>\n<li>What are the biggest gaps with providers like OpenCorporates, D&amp;B, Moody\u2019s\/BvD, Creditsafe, or local registries?<\/li>\n<li>Would registry-sourced company data with API\/bulk access be useful for your workflow?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Not trying to make this a sales post. I\u2019d appreciate critical feedback from people who have worked with these datasets.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- SC_ON -->   submitted by   <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/user\/SectionLongjumping92\"> \/u\/SectionLongjumping92 <\/a> <br \/> <span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/datasets\/comments\/1tzy81j\/built_an_alternative_to_opencorporates_using\/\">[link]<\/a><\/span>   <span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/datasets\/comments\/1tzy81j\/built_an_alternative_to_opencorporates_using\/\">[comments]<\/a><\/span><\/p><div class='watch-action'><div class='watch-position align-right'><div class='action-like'><a class='lbg-style1 like-41306 jlk' href='javascript:void(0)' data-task='like' data-post_id='41306' data-nonce='72e055e984' rel='nofollow'><img class='wti-pixel' src='https:\/\/www.graviton.at\/letterswaplibrary\/wp-content\/plugins\/wti-like-post\/images\/pixel.gif' title='Like' \/><span class='lc-41306 lc'>0<\/span><\/a><\/div><\/div> <div class='status-41306 status align-right'><\/div><\/div><div class='wti-clear'><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hey r\/datasets, I&#8217;ve noticed a lot of offline countries and gaps when using OpenCorporates, so my team&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[85],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-41306","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-datatards","wpcat-85-id"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.graviton.at\/letterswaplibrary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/41306","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.graviton.at\/letterswaplibrary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.graviton.at\/letterswaplibrary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.graviton.at\/letterswaplibrary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.graviton.at\/letterswaplibrary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=41306"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.graviton.at\/letterswaplibrary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/41306\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.graviton.at\/letterswaplibrary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=41306"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.graviton.at\/letterswaplibrary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=41306"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.graviton.at\/letterswaplibrary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=41306"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
