Overview

The automatic company creation endpoint allows you to create companies by providing minimal information (tax ID and country). The system automatically:
  • Fetches company data from official registries
  • Enriches the company with additional information
  • Executes enrichments automatically
This is ideal for KYB (Know Your Business) processes where you want to onboard businesses with complete information automatically.

Endpoint

POST http://api.gu1.ai/entities/automatic

Authentication

Requires a valid API key in the Authorization header:
Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY

Request Body

taxId
string
required
Tax identification number of the company (e.g., CPF for Brazil, CURP for Mexico, CUIT for Argentina)
πŸ“‹ See Tax ID Formats by Country for accepted formats and validation rules for each country.
country
string
required
ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code (e.g., β€œBR”, β€œMX”, β€œAR”, β€œCL”)
type
string
required
Must be set to company
externalId
string
Your unique identifier for this company (optional, will be auto-generated if not provided)
isClient
boolean
default:"false"
Mark this company as a client/business for tracking purposes
riskMatrixId
string | string[]
One or more risk matrix UUIDs (legacy: a single UUID string). After creation, active rules tied to those matrices run (unless skipRulesExecution is true).
riskMatrixIds
string[]
Preferred for multiple matrices: ordered UUID list. Takes precedence over riskMatrixId when non-empty.
skipRulesExecution
boolean
default:"false"
Skip automatic rules execution after company creation
status
string
default:"under_review"
Initial status for the company
operationalHours
object | null
Optional main entity operational hours (timezone + weekly). Persisted on automatic creation the same as manual entity creation. Not applied to shareholders or relationships created via depth.
depth
number
default:"0"
Depth of relationship extraction (0-5). Controls how many levels of shareholders/relationships to automatically fetch and create.
  • 0: No relationships (only main entity)
  • 1: Direct shareholders only
  • 2: Shareholders + their shareholders
  • 3-5: Additional levels (use with caution - can create many entities)
autoExecuteIntegrations
object
Configure automatic execution of integrations for the main company entity. See Provider Codes Reference for available codes.Type: object (optional)Properties:
  • executeAllActiveEnrichments (boolean, optional, default: false) - Execute all active enrichment integrations
  • enrichments (array, optional, default: []) - Array of specific enrichment provider codes to execute
  • enrichmentGroupRefs (array of strings, optional) - Marketplace enrichment group slugs (enrichments only). With executeAllActiveEnrichments: false, groups are resolved and merged with explicit enrichments. With executeAllActiveEnrichments: true, group refs are ignored (not resolved); explicit enrichments may still append after the active set.
{
  executeAllActiveEnrichments?: boolean; // default: false
  enrichments?: ValidProviderCodesEnum[]; // default: []
  enrichmentGroupRefs?: string[];
}
Example:
{
  "executeAllActiveEnrichments": false,
  "enrichments": ["br_cpfcnpj_complete_company_enrichment", "br_bdc_shareholders_enrichment"],
  "enrichmentGroupRefs": ["my_marketplace_group_slug"],
}
autoExecuteIntegrationsShareholders
object
Configure automatic execution of integrations for discovered shareholders/relationships. Useful when using depth > 0. See Provider Codes Reference for available codes.Type: object (optional)Properties:
  • executeAllActiveEnrichments (boolean, optional, default: false) - Execute all active enrichments on shareholders
  • enrichments (object, optional) - Specific enrichments by entity type
    • company (array, default: []) - Enrichments for company shareholders
    • person (array, default: []) - Enrichments for person shareholders
  • enrichmentGroupRefs (array of strings, optional) - Same slugs as on the main object; applied to both company and person when executeAllActiveEnrichments is false. When executeAllActiveEnrichments is true on this object, group refs are ignored; explicit per-type enrichments may still append after each side’s active set.
{
  executeAllActiveEnrichments?: boolean;
  enrichments?: {
    company?: ValidProviderCodesEnum[];
    person?: ValidProviderCodesEnum[];
  };
  enrichmentGroupRefs?: string[];
}
Example:
{
  "enrichments": {
    "person": [
      "br_cpfcnpj_complete_person_enrichment",
      "global_complyadvantage_person_search_enrichment"
    ],
    "company": ["br_cpfcnpj_complete_company_enrichment"]
  },
  "enrichmentGroupRefs": ["shareholder_pipeline_group_slug"]
}

Required Enrichment Codes by Country

When using specific enrichment codes (not executeAllActiveEnrichments: true), certain enrichments are mandatory for the automatic creation to work. Without them, the system cannot fetch basic company data from official registries and the request will fail.

Brazil (BR)

ScenarioRequired Enrichment Code(s)Description
Main entitybr_cpfcnpj_complete_company_enrichmentFetches company data from CNPJ/Receita Federal (legal name, trade name, address, industry, etc.)
Shareholders (depth > 0)br_bdc_shareholders_enrichmentRequired in autoExecuteIntegrations.enrichments. Fetches the QSA (Quadro SocietΓ‘rio) to discover company shareholders and directors
The shareholder enrichment must be included in the main entity’s autoExecuteIntegrations.enrichments array (not in autoExecuteIntegrationsShareholders), because the system needs to run it on the main company to discover the QSA. The autoExecuteIntegrationsShareholders field controls what enrichments to run on each shareholder after they are created.

Argentina (AR)

ScenarioRequired Enrichment CodeDescription
Main entityar_nosis_extended_verification_enrichmentFetches company data from Nosis (legal name, CUIT status, address, activities, etc.)
Argentina does not support automatic shareholder creation yet. The depth parameter must be 0. If depth > 0 is provided, the request will fail with an error.
customData
object
Optional β€” Client values for the main company that must not be replaced by enrichments. Full reference: Automatic entity creation.Fields: name, email, phone, address β†’ entityData.company.address (birthDate is not used for companies).Example:
{
  "taxId": "30712345678",
  "country": "AR",
  "type": "company",
  "customData": {
    "name": "Acme Argentina S.A. (trade name)",

    "phone": "+541140000000",
    "address": { "fullAddress": "Av. del Libertador 100, Buenos Aires", "city": "Buenos Aires" }
  }
}
attributes
object
Optional - Custom attributes as key-value pairs for the created entity.Applied only to the main entity (the company created), not to shareholders/relationships. Useful for business segments, tags, internal IDs, or any metadata you want to associate at creation time.Structure: object with string keys and values of any type (string, number, boolean, array, etc.).Example:
{
  "businessSegments": ["retail", "fintech"],
  "source": "onboarding_web",
  "tags": ["vip", "high_volume"]
}
