About OpenSOSData

OpenSOSData is a business entity lookup API for United States Secretary of State records. It aggregates official corporate registration data — entity status, registered agents, officers, filing history, and UCC liens — from all 50 states, Washington D.C., Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands into a single REST API. It scrapes each state's official registry in real time and returns clean, consistent JSON, letting developers, compliance teams, and AI agents access business records across state lines without querying each registry individually.

What it does

Business entity data in the United States is scattered across 50+ Secretary of State websites. Each one has a different format, different search interface, different quirks — CAPTCHAs, rate limits, session timeouts, no API. If you need records from more than one state, you're writing and maintaining scrapers for each one.

OpenSOSData solves this with a single endpoint. Maintained scrapers cover every U.S. jurisdiction. You send a company name and state, and get back structured JSON — same schema whether the entity is in Delaware, California, or Puerto Rico. Over 23M+ entities are pre-indexed for instant search, with real-time lookups available for the freshest data.

What's in a lookup

  • Entity status (active, inactive, dissolved, revoked)
  • Registered agent name and address
  • Officers and directors
  • Filing history (formation, amendments, annual reports)
  • UCC liens with debtor and secured party data (beta)
  • 53 jurisdictions: all 50 states + DC + Puerto Rico + U.S. Virgin Islands

Who uses it

Legal tech platforms, KYB and compliance teams, process servers, law firms, title companies, due diligence providers, and AI agents that need structured business entity data on demand.
