# Company Funding

> Retrieve verified funding-round and acquisition history for a company.

- **Endpoint:** `POST https://api.nyne.ai/company/funding`
- **Group:** Company APIs (https://api.nyne.ai/documentation/company.md)
- **Auth:** `X-API-Key` + `X-API-Secret` headers
- **Mode:** Asynchronous - submit returns a `request_id` (normally with `202 Accepted`); poll `GET /company/funding?request_id=<request_id>` with the same auth headers until the endpoint reports a terminal response. Where supported, a `callback_url` can notify you when queued work finishes; follow this endpoint's retrieval notes.
- **HTML version:** https://api.nyne.ai/documentation/company/funding

Retrieve a company’s funding history - rounds with dates, investors, amounts, and valuations, plus acquisition detail when applicable - aggregated from verified sources. Supply at least one of `company_name` or `company_domain`. The request is queued asynchronously and returns a `request_id`; poll the status endpoint or supply a `callback_url`. The completed result includes a `funding_rounds` array (most recent first) and an optional `acquired` object. Rounds may carry an `amount_approximate` flag when the figure is an estimate, and each investor in `funded_by` may be marked `lead_investor`. A credit is charged only when funding data is found.

## Authentication

All `/person/*` and `/company/*` endpoints authenticate with an API key and secret sent as HTTP headers on every request: `X-API-Key` and `X-API-Secret`. Create keys from your Nyne.ai dashboard and keep the secret server-side. Rate limits: 100 requests/minute, 1,000 requests/hour. Full guide: https://api.nyne.ai/documentation/authentication.md

## Parameters

| Name | Type | Required | Description | Example |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `company_name` | string | no | Company name to look up, e.g. “Stripe”, “OpenAI”. Required unless `company_domain` is supplied. Max 255 chars. | "Stripe" |
| `company_domain` | string | no | Company domain to look up, e.g. “stripe.com”. Required unless `company_name` is supplied. Max 255 chars. | "stripe.com" |
| `callback_url` | string | no | http(s) URL on an allowed host that receives the completed payload automatically. | "https://example.com/webhooks/funding" |

## Polling for the result

A newly queued submit normally returns `202 Accepted` with a `request_id`. Poll the same path until `status` is `completed` (results stay available afterwards). Where supported, pass a `callback_url` on the submit to receive a webhook when queued work finishes; keep the documented GET as a recovery and retrieval path:

```bash
curl "https://api.nyne.ai/company/funding?request_id=<request_id>" \
  -H "X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "X-API-Secret: YOUR_API_SECRET"
```

## Credit usage

| Item | Credits | Condition |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Funding Lookup | - | Charged once when funding data is retrieved |
| No data | 0 | No funding found never burns credits |

## Responses

| Code | Meaning |

| `202` | Funding lookup queued - poll the status endpoint with the returned request_id |
| `400` | missing_parameters / invalid_parameters / invalid_callback_url |
| `401` | Missing or invalid API credentials |
| `402` | insufficient_credits |
| `403` | subscription_required or ip_not_allowed |
| `404` | no funding data found (no credit charged) |
| `429` | rate_limit_exceeded / monthly_limit_exceeded |
| `503` | service_unavailable - the API is temporarily unavailable |
