https://api.atoka.io/v2/. - Each API follows the REST architecture and responds in JSON format.
Access token
The API needs authentication, via a token generated with each call, similar to xuao1d61b5234c1e912b11856c3f4de3. If you do not have it yet, drop us an email at sales@atoka.io to create a test one! The token is used to authenticate your requests and consume credits for the data you display. You can check the credits available on your token in real time via credits.atoka.io.

Packages and endpoint
Atoka’s API is divided into several endpoint, including:
https://api.atoka.io/v2/companies: hundreds of fields and dozens of filters for more than 22 million companies;https://api.atoka.io/v2/locations: geographic queries on all company locations in Atoka;
And, again, real-estate, people, and much more.
Within each endpoint, data is organised into several packages, which are logical grouping units. The packages available for the endpoint companies for example are:
- base: general company information, VAT number, headquarter address, Ateco code, etc…;
- contacts: phone contacts and e-mail addresses;
- economics: number of employees, financial data, revenues and seasonality;
- entities: list of semantic entitities linked to a company;
- people: information on managers and directors and their roles in the company;
- shares: who owns who and what, with amounts and percentages;
- web: data extracted from the web such as description, logo, checked websites, rss feeds, keywords and more.
Through the packages parameter you can select what to get in the response and check which parameters to use to build your request. For example, if you want to know how the followers of a certain company are growing, the package socials provides you with the data you are looking for, while with contacts you can have phone numbers and email addresses and so on. For a list of emails and phones from companies using Twitter and Facebook, the two packages can be combined together to filter and enrich the response.
