The API returns structured data fields — entity details, officer lists, annual report dates — but does not return document image URLs or binary filing PDFs.

Response fields include `entity_type` (e.g. \"Foreign Limited Liability Company\"), `status` (e.g. ACTIVE, INACT), `principal_address`, `registered_agent` (name and address), an `officers` array with each officer's `title`, `name`, and `address`, and an `annual_reports` array showing year and `date_filed` for each filing on record.\n\n## EIN Lookup and Cable Franchises\n\n`search_by_fei_ein` accepts a Federal Employer Identification Number and returns matching corporate registrations — useful when you have a tax ID and need the corresponding Florida filing details. `list_cable_franchises` is a separate, paginated endpoint that returns all Florida-registered cable franchises by `name` and `franchise_number`, browsable page by page.\n\n## Pagination and Identifiers\n\nAll search endpoints accept an optional `limit` parameter to cap result counts. Each result also carries an `aggregate_id` field alongside the `document_number`, which serves as a stable identifier for downstream processing. The `list_cable_franchises` endpoint uses a `page` integer for pagination.","generated_with_model":"global.anthropic.claude-sonnet-4-6","secondary_categories":["b2b_directory","finance"]},"primary_category":"government_public","secondary_categories":["b2b_directory","finance"],"access_requirements":[]}
