How to use Secretary of State Business Search - KYB, Officers, Agents from your AI agent
● ready to runbusiness
A business tool your agent can run. It takes inputs such as Mode, Company name queries and Direct entity references (state + file number), and returns its results to your agent. One prepaid apifare balance pays for this and every other capability your agent uses — under per-agent caps, a kill switch, and a signed receipt for every call.
What you need
An apifare key with credits. That's it: get a key (new accounts start with 500 free credits), connect your agent with its setup guide, and ask it to run Secretary of State Business Search - KYB, Officers, Agents.
Inputs it takes
| field | what it sets | example |
|---|---|---|
mode required | Mode | "entity_search" |
companies | Company name queries | |
company_numbers | Direct entity references (state + file number) | |
officer_names | Officer / person names (officer_lookup) | |
states | States to query | ["CA","NY"] |
all_states | Query all 50 states + DC |
Your agent fills these in from what you ask; you rarely need to name them.
Price
Reserve 5 credits per run, settled to the run's true cost (ceiling 20 credits; 1 credit = $0.01). Failed runs are refunded. The exact billed number always comes from /capabilities.
Run it
Once your agent is connected, ask it:
