    <p>Is it possible to access 100 companies and their ids using REST API of opencorporates ? </p> <p>Currently this is my nodejs script:</p> <pre><code>var http = require('http'); var optionsget = { host : 'api.opencorporates.com', port : 80, path : '/v0.2/companies/search?q=barclays+bank', method : 'GET' }; console.info('Options prepared:'); console.info(optionsget); console.info('Do the GET call'); var reqGet = http.get(optionsget, function(res) { console.log("statusCode: ", res.statusCode); console.log("headers: ", res.headers); buffer=''; res.on('data', function(d) { //console.info('GET result:\n'); //process.stdout.write(d); buffer+=d.toString(); //console.info('\n\nCall completed'); }); res.on('end',function() { console.info('GET result:\n'); console.log(buffer); console.info('\n\nCall completed'); }); }); reqGet.on('error', function(e) { console.error(e); }); reqGet.end(); </code></pre> <p>This fetches a list of companies that matches my search query. </p> <p>How can I access 100 companies(list of companies given by user) with their respective ids?</p> <p>I have two questions: 1. How to get user input? I got this. 2. How to modify the url based on what user wants to search? If user wants to search for a company so url would be /v0.2/companies/search?q=barclays+bank and another user wants to search by name of the company and jurisdiction so url would be <a href="http://api.opencorporates.com/v0.2/companies/search?q=barclays+bank&amp;jurisdiction_code=gb" rel="nofollow">http://api.opencorporates.com/v0.2/companies/search?q=barclays+bank&amp;jurisdiction_code=gb</a> </p>

    1. COWhat is your question? Why wouldn't it be possible? Are you trying to ask how you would transform this into working off user input instead of getting the data for Barclays Bank each time?

    3. COGet IDs from the commandline or were you planning on setting up some sort of web interface? In terms of different IDs, the only change you will need to make is to change the path where you are making the request, which should be replaced by the ID(s) you are looking for. That being said, there are many node libraries that will make this easier on you than doing the raw HTTP request yourself. https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/modules#wiki-tcp-http

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
