A Laravel package for reading Companies House.

Documentation and install instructions

Companies House API documentation can be found at: https://developer.company-information.service.gov.uk/api/docs/

Application Register

To use Companies House an application needs creating at https://developer.companieshouse.gov.uk/developer/applications

Install

Take a note of the API key and add it to your .env file

COMPANIES_HOUSE_KEY=

Via Composer

composer require dcblogdev/laravel-companies-house

You can publish the config file with:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Dcblogdev\CompaniesHouse\CompaniesHouseServiceProvider" --tag="config"

When published, the config/companieshouse.php config file contains:

<?php

return [

    /*
    * the key is set from the Companies House to identify the application
    * https://developer.companieshouse.gov.uk/developer/applications
    */
    'key' => env('COMPANIES_HOUSE_KEY'),
];

Usage

In a controller import the class:

use Dcblogdev\CompaniesHouse\Facades\CompaniesHouse;

In a view or closure call the facade:

CompaniesHouse::get('path');

You call CompaniesHouse followed by get:: this will run a GET request followed by the endpoint you want to call, for instance, to call company profile (https://developer.companieshouse.gov.uk/api/docs/company/company_number/company_number.html)

CompaniesHouse::get('company/123456');

To make things a little easier there is also trait classes provided:

Each Trait class provides convenient methods that call the endpoints, processes the data, and returns JSON of the results.
