This Choreo retrieves a list of locations of companies matching the given query. You do not need an API Key to run this Choreo. However, if you would like a much higher limit on the number of calls you can make each day, then registering with CorpWatch and obtaining an API Key is the way to go. More information on authentication and limits is available here. Detailed information about the locations list search is here.
The output returned is a list of locations, unlike the GetCompanyLocations Choreo which returns a list of companies. The origin of the location information is given by the Type parameter, with a value of "relation_loc", "business", "mailing" or "state_of_incorp". The location information available for subsidiaries (type of "relation_loc") is much less precise than for filing companies. Because of the differences in filings formats, it is not possible to automatically determine whether the location is a jurisdiction of incorporation or the location where the subsidiary company does business.
Here is an example of an acceptable input:
Address: Oakland
CountryCode: US
ResponseType: json
