The problem

Looking up and maintaining company data costs time and money per request, and the sources enforce strict limits.

Approach

One REST API and a widget added with one script tag, with caching at the network edge. An hourly harvester keeps stored data current.

Public company pages also make the data findable in search engines. Since November 2026 there is Belgian data and a French site as well.

Result

KVKBase is live at kvkbase.nl in Dutch, English and French and is under active development.
