Canadian company
Endpoint GET /v1/ca/company
What it covers
Returns a consistent synthetic Canadian company in one call: a full trading name with its legal form, plus the matching CRA Business Number. Shape the name with `strategy` and `legalForm` (as on `/v1/ca/company-name`); the forms carry the country’s bilingualism, so `Inc.` and `Ltd.` appear alongside the French `Ltée` and the unlimited-liability `ULC`. The **bare** nine-digit BN is returned, not the fifteen-character program-account form — the BN is the business’s identity, while a program account identifies one of its dealings with the CRA (use `/v1/ca/business-number` for the suffixed form). Unlike the US EIN the BN has a real Luhn checksum, so `invalid=true` breaks the arithmetic; the name stays intact.
Parameters
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| count | integer1–10000 | Number of records to return, 1–10000. Omitted returns a single record; set it for a batch. Costs 1 token plus a tenth per record. |
| edge | boolean | Restrict output to edge-case values from the rare corners. |
| extreme | boolean | Return a correct company whose name is wrapped in a hostile encoding (untrimmed whitespace, invisible/zero-width characters, BOM, homoglyph letters, or bidi/combining marks). The legal form and any identifiers stay clean. |
| invalid | boolean | Break the Business Number’s Luhn check, for testing validators. |
| legalForm | "any" | "none" | "Inc." | "Ltd." | "Ltée" | "Corp." | "ULC" | "S.E.N.C." | "S.E.C." | Append a specific legal form, "any" for weighted-random, or "none" to omit. |
| seed | integer | Integer seed for reproducible output: the same seed always yields the same record. |
| strategy | "morpheme" | "surname" | "descriptive" | "modern" | Naming family for the company name. Omit for a weighted-random one. |
Response fields
