Attributes

Search for a Directorship

Like '/companies/', a search can be performed on directorships by making a GET request to the '/directorships/' endpoint:

 https://api2.redflagalert.net/v3/directorships/

Returned resources will follow the JSON API format and will contain URLs in their 'links' section to the company they are linked to.

To filter directorship search results, append the criteria as request parameters in any order.

Search Parameters

The following fields can currently be searched on:

The searches can be combined. For example, to find directorships held by British nationals with the surname Morgan, the query would be:

https://api2.redflagalert.net/v2/directorships/?nationality=British&surname=Morgan

When performing name searches, the 'name' field searches on full names. For example, the following query will only return directorships held by people called Peter Smith:

https://api2.redflagalert.net/v3/directorships/?first_name=Peter&surname=Smith

While the following search will return all directorships held by people whose name is either similar to 'Peter' or 'Smith', with the most relevant results returned first:

https://api2.redflagalert.net/v2/directorships/?name=Peter%20Smith

This means that 'Peter Smith' will rank highest, then 'Peter Smith Jones' then lastly, entries like 'James Smith’.

If an unrecognised field name is included in search parameters, it will be ignored.

To also receive the companies the directorships are linked to, append the 'company' string in the 'include=' GET parameter:

https://api2.redflagalert.net/v3/directorships/?include=company

The response will be a compound document (see http://jsonapi.org/format/#document-compound- documents for format) containing the original search results along with the companies. All results are paginated.
