Every year we find ourselves in front of new technologies and new ways to make business. However, not many people know how an API can help them understand their customers and competitors better. That’s why here we explain to you how an API can help you get a company’s tags.
When we refer to company tags, we are talking about brief internal comments that you may write next to company profiles to highlight crucial information and generate reminders when adding subcontractors to projects. Using business tags, you may keep track of your own preferences as well as the preferences of subcontractors with whom you deal.
This information is usually only for employees. However, since it’s data that’s added to any company domain, you can find it easily with an API. This is an interface that gathers data from a website and presents it to you when you ask for it. This is possible because an API is an interface that connects two computers or applications so they can communicate.
How To Get A Domain Data API
There are a few APIs online that can help you to get this information. However, to explain to you better how we work, we will employ Klazify, since we believe that’s it’s the most complete one and perfect for this type of task.
To obtain the company tags, you need to:
1. Go to www.klazify.com and sign in to get an API key. You can also try the software without login in, but we highly recommend you to do it.
2. Paste the URL of the company you want to check on the space given, confirm that you’re not a robot, and submit it.
3. Then, you’ll obtain the API answer in some programming languages.
4. Search for the company tags and save them so you can use them later.
For example, we will use www.reddit.com and check that domain. The company tags will look like this:
"objects": {
"company": {
"name": "Reddit",
"city": "San Francisco",
"stateCode": "CA",
"countryCode": "US",
"employeesRange": "1K-5K",
"revenue": null,
"raised": 550100000,
"tags": [
"Internet",
"Web Services & Apps",
"Technology",
"Forums",
"Mobile",
"B2C"
What Else Can You Do With Klazify
Klazify may visit the provided domain or URL, gather its content, and categorize it using an IAB V2 Standard classification taxonomy, which may be used for 1-1 personalization, marketing segmentation, online filtering, and other applications. As a result, the URL or domain has been assigned to a certain category.
Something To Have In Mind
If you’re going to use Klazify, notice that his software works with base domain URL and full path URL. The first one refers to the domain name and top-level domain (TLD), for example, www.wsj.com. The second one refers to an exact location and enables extremely detailed analysis and classification of online content at the provided address. For example, https://www.wsj.com/articles/how-entrepreneurs-can-get-the-most-out-of-a-business-coach-11630678676
