KVK API
A KVK API gives you a direct link to Business Register data.
What is an API and how does it work?
The KVK API is a connection between your software application(s) and the Business Register. With an API key, you automatically gain access to information in the Business Register.
Request an API key to access all APIs via the KVK Developer Portal.
Why use a KVK API?
Data automatically provided
You can retrieve up-to-date information from the Business Register directly inside your own customer relationship management system (CRM), website, or financial package. The API automatically enters the data through autofill or autocompletion.
Verify
You can verify business customers' KVK number, address information, SBI codes, and people employed.

Test our APIs for free
There is a special Test API for you to try out the KVK APIs. The Test API contains a small selection of fictional data with which you can test freely. You can find the Test API on the developers portal (for English, select EN in the top-right of your screen).
Connect
Do you already have an API key? Then you can make use of the KVK APIs right away. Do you not yet have an API key? Complete the order form on the developers portal (for English, select EN in the top-right of your screen).
After you have completed the online form, you will receive an email with an agreement and optional direct debit authorisation (if you have indicated this payment method). Once we have received the signed agreement, we will activate your login (usually within 3 days). This will give you access to the developers portal and your API key.
KVK Dataservice
Do you want automated access to more data from the Business Register (such as officers' details, authorisations, or annual accounts)? Then create an automatic connection to KVK Dataservice (in Dutch).
