Feature Request

IMPORTANT: Please see the new Online Services Security Enhancement Release, effective November 09, 2020.

Overview

There are several options available when implementing this feature.

1. Keyword Search (Basic/Advanced): A contact keyword is required in addition to setting the search mode to 'Basic'. The contact keyword (KeywordContactText) will be compared against the contact name, title and biography fields. An option exists (in Advanced search) to limit the search comparison to specific fields.

Keyword search criteria are NOT case sensitive (i.e. "SAMPLE", "Sample" and "sample" will return the same results). Multiple keywords may be specified in either keyword criteria field, separated by spaces.

This feature supports a wild card pattern in the keyword search criteria, which allows an asterisk to be appended to, embedded in, or placed at the start of the keyword parameter.

The organization keyword and/or D&B D-U-N-S Number range may be provided as options. The organization keyword (KeywordText) will be compared against any company names (past, present, synonyms and tradestyles) and stock ticker symbols.

2. Inclusion Rules (Basic/Advanced): By default, organizations with certain operating conditions will be excluded from the results. An option is available to include the following: undeliverable address records, out of business records, incomplete data records, only non-marketable* businesses, only contacts with direct email details, only contacts with direct telephone details or only contacts with either direct email or telephone details.

*In general, a record that meets the following criteria is considered marketable: it has been updated within the last 24 months; it contains a complete business name, valid physical or mailing address, and valid Standard Industry Classification Code; and it is believed to be in business.

NOTE: This rule does not exclude/include de-listed companies (i.e., a company that has requested to be excluded from direct marketing use cases).

3. Sorting Results (Basic/Advanced): By default, the results from this service will be descending by order of relevancy (i.e. best matched results). Optionally, both the sort direction and a primary sort field can be designated on the request.

4. Pagination (Basic/Advanced): Options exist to designate the maximum number of records per request, and the starting row number. The maximum number of records this feature will return on a single request is 10,000. The default page length is 25 records.

The remaining options are available only in the advanced version (search mode set to 'Advanced') of this feature.

5. Geographic Proximity (Advanced only): Any combination of longitude+latitude coordinates or postal code, telephone number (full or partial) or street address may be passed to produce a list of matching organizations. By default the criteria provided will be applied using "AND" logic, however, an option is available to alternatively apply "OR" logic to the request.

When performing a search using longitude+latitude, a radius and scale (miles or kilometers) must be supplied. This option is only available when the country code specified is "US" or "CA".

When a postal code is provided, a country code must also be specified.

When providing a U.S. postal code as a criteria, leading zeros are required in the request. For example, "01234" is correct, while "1234" is not correct.

If a postal code is provided, this service will identify the longitude+latitude coordinates for the central point of the respective geographical area. This option is only applicable when the country code specified is "US".

When providing a telephone number as a criteria, exclude any non-numeric characters and spaces. (e.g. "(800) 555-1212" should be supplied as "8005551212")

6. Company Information (Advanced only): Filter for companies by location type, D&B Prescreen Score, ownership type, stock ticker and exchange, D-U-N-S Number, legal status, year of founding, subsidiary status, diversity status (minority owned, women owned and ethnicity classification), occupancy status (owns/rents), franchise status and foreign trade.

7. Industry (Advanced only): Filter for companies by Hoover's Industries, SIC Codes, and NAIC Codes, either by a specific industry code or range. An option exists to search only on an organization's primary industry code.

8. Company Size (Advanced only): Filter for companies by sales, market cap, employees and facility size.

9. Financial Information (Advanced only): filter for companies by net income, assets, fiscal year end, auditors, and rankings/indices.

10. IPO Data (Advanced only): Filter for companies by IPO date, offer amount, price range and underwriters.

11. People (Advanced only): Filter for people by job function, salary, bonus, total compensation and age.

A separate email only version (search mode set to 'EmailLookup') of this function is available to search for people using an email address. No other criteria may be used in conjunction with the email address. The sorting and pagination options, however, do apply.

Minimum Requirements

The details in this section override the Optional/Required values listed in the Request Specification table.

  1. The field SearchModeDescription must be set to a value of Basic, Advanced or EmailLookup for this feature to work properly (for this use case).
  2. When performing a search using longitude+latitude, a radius measurement and unit code (3353 for miles or 3349 for kilometers) must be supplied.

Data Layer Entitlement

Endpoint

Use the following endpoint for requesting this feature. The {version} is dependent on the underlying service delivering the response.

NOTE: While "organizations" is part of this endpoint, there is no service by this name. Many D&B Direct calls have a similar structure; however, the {version} component is based on the SERVICE to which a given product is associated.

REST (EntityList)
GET https://direct.dnb.com/V{version}/organizations?findcontact

Testing

This operation will return a static set of results in the D&B Direct test environment (sandbox), regardless of the request parameters.

Feature Response

NOTE: The D&B Direct REST implementation uses the BadgerFish approach for JSON with some minor variations.

Specification

The following is a list of the possible data fields returned by this operation in the JSON response. Samples are provided for testing successful and failed retrieval, and to demonstrate the basic layout of a response. The data returned in samples may not represent actual values that this feature will deliver.

The results from this search will return principal identification numbers (Principal ID) that may be passed to the People feature to obtain additional information about individuals.

NOTE: The D-U-N-S Number returned in the response will be a nine-digit zero-padded, numeric value.

Lists of possible values (when present) are subject to change. Additional values not presented in this documentation may be delivered in the response and should be anticipated in any implementation.

Empty/NULL Values

A NULL returned for an element indicates that the information was not provided to D&B when the related data items were collected. The absence of a value for a particular item should not be considered indicative of any implied value (e.g., NULL for a boolean indicator is NOT the same as a value of 'false').

Response Codes & Error Handling

Successful service requests will return a CM000 response code in the TransactionResult ResultID field. Otherwise, one of the D&B Direct standard response codes will be returned.

This operation may return the following response codes: CM002, CM003, CM004, CM005, CM007, CM012, CM018, CM022, and SC001-SC009.

D&B Direct 2.0 API requests are provided on a metered basis; and may require entitlement prior to use in the production environment. In addition, a concurrency limit (QPS) is monitored to ensure that it is not exceeded. An error code will be returned in the event that a transaction is throttled.

Qualified usage (e.g., a successful response) is tracked and billed according to the terms & conditions of the customer's contract. The response codes CM000, CM010, PD002 and PD015 are considered successful. A built-in feature exists to prevent duplicate billing when multiple successful requests with the same criteria are submitted on the same calendar day (which is based on Eastern Standard Time [GMT-5]).

Search operations that involve pagination will only be recorded once -- upon the initial search request. Therefore, customer online usage (OLUS) reports will display a single entry for each unique combination of search criteria requested.

Feature Notes

For the BASIC search option, the relevancy sort utilizes weighted values based on match rate in the name, company name, title and biographical text fields.

For the ADVANCED search option, the relevancy option utilizes a proprietary algorithm for returning the best-matched results, taking into consideration input parameters sent in the request, along with additional weighted factors.
