Romanian company data API launched amid data fragmentation challenges

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A developer has created a new API, apifirme.dev, to address the lack of a unified company registry API in Romania. The existing public data is fragmented across four institutions, making it difficult to access information like company existence, VAT registration, and turnover. The developer highlights six common pitfalls when working with this data, including discrepancies in registration dates, handling branch offices, changes in activity codes, differentiating sole traders from companies, inconsistent name formatting, and the interpretation of missing data. Analysis of 3.8 million legal entities indicates a shift towards sole proprietorships in 2024, likely due to recent tax changes. AI

IMPACT Simplifies data integration for businesses operating in Romania by providing a unified API for fragmented public registries.
