Canadian Data Release for 8th October
There is a change concerning the source of our Canadian data. The search and company report data will be enhanced as part of this change, however, the ids of Canadian companies, in both Connect and GGS, will change. It is important that clients that consume Canadian data via our APIs read this part of the update.
All Canadian related data changes will be released to the Live Environment on October 8th. However, we aim to have the Canadian Connect Id changes available in the Sandbox Environment during the week commencing 28th September, allowing users to prepare their integrations before the change is released to the Production Environment.
Please find the details of the Canadian Data Update here.
In order to find a company by the existing Canadian Connect Id, you can use the suffix of the Connect Id in the fileNo search parameter.
For example, if you have company CA-X-0123456789 you can find the new connect Id by searching fileNo=0123456789.
If you wish to request the Canadian ID translations file, you can still do this by emailing [email protected].
