Search api minnesota companies.

Job id `api.minnesota.companies.search`, in [Enrichment](/catalog/enrichment) (Minnesota company registry). As of 2026-10-01, 1 provider serve it through 1 tool. Run `job:api.minnesota.companies.search` and looot picks one of them; with `fallback` on, a miss moves on to the next. See [Jobs](/concepts/jobs).

## Inputs

This job has one tool, so it takes that tool's fields. Any key you send passes through unchanged.

| Name | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `active_only` | boolean | no | Return only active entities |
| `by_file_number` | boolean | no | Treat the query as a file number instead of a business name |
| `count` | integer | yes | Max number of results to return |
| `include_prior_names` | boolean | no | Also match prior (historical) business names |
| `query` | string | yes | Search query, business name or file number. Example: "Target" |
| `starts_with` | boolean | no | Match values that start with the query instead of containing it |
| `timeout` | integer | no | Max scrapping execution timeout (in seconds) |
| `x-request-id` | string | no |   |

## Providers and prices

| Provider | Tool | Price |
| --- | --- | --- |
| [Anysite](/providers/anysite) | [`anysite-api-minnesota-companies-search`](/reference/tools/anysite-api-minnesota-companies-search) | $0.000037 per result |

A call that fails at the provider costs $0. See [What's free](/money/free-and-failures).

## Output

Shape of the run's `result`, checked against 8 real answers:

```txt
{ name, @type, name_type, filing_guid, business_type, business_status }[]
```

## Run it

Every call needs your API token in `LOOOT_TOKEN`; [Sign in](/get-started/sign-in#use-the-token-in-scripts-and-agents) shows how to get one. Each run also needs a new idempotency key, so a retry never pays twice. With `wait: 30` the answer comes back inline when the run ends within 30 seconds. Otherwise you get the running run back: poll `GET /v1/runs/<runId>`.

Example input with placeholder values:

<CodeGroup>

```bash curl
curl -X POST "https://api.looot.ai/v1/runs" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $LOOOT_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Idempotency-Key: $(uuidgen)" \
  -d '{"endpointId":"job:api.minnesota.companies.search","input":{"query":"Target","count":1},"wait":30}'
```

```js JavaScript
const response = await fetch("https://api.looot.ai/v1/runs", {
  method: "POST",
  headers: {
    Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.LOOOT_TOKEN}`,
    "Content-Type": "application/json",
    "Idempotency-Key": crypto.randomUUID(),
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    endpointId: "job:api.minnesota.companies.search",
    input: {
      query: "Target",
      count: 1,
    },
    wait: 30,
  }),
});
const run = await response.json();
console.log(run.status, run.result);
```

```python Python
import os
import uuid

import requests

response = requests.post(
    "https://api.looot.ai/v1/runs",
    headers={
        "Authorization": f"Bearer {os.environ['LOOOT_TOKEN']}",
        "Idempotency-Key": str(uuid.uuid4()),
    },
    json={
        "endpointId": "job:api.minnesota.companies.search",
        "input": {
            "query": "Target",
            "count": 1,
        },
        "wait": 30,
    },
    timeout=90,
)
run = response.json()
print(run["status"], run.get("result"))
```

To pin one provider, send its tool id as `endpointId` instead of `job:api.minnesota.companies.search`.
