Unified Architecture

How the CreditWatchGo API Connects to Your Stack

CreditWatchGo doesn’t just forward raw Companies House data. It merges primary-source public records with your actual customer relationship—delivering verified severity, official citations, and monetary exposure directly to your application.

01 · Your System

Customer Watchlist & Ledger

Send company registration numbers, outstanding invoice balances, and agreed credit limits via API or CSV.

02 · Surveillance

Continuous Official Feeds

Continuous monitoring of UK Companies House filings, charges, and London/Edinburgh/Belfast Gazette notices.

03 · Context Matching

Event + Exposure Match

The detected event is evaluated against your configured policy and matched to your exact financial exposure.

04 · Automated Action

Instant Webhook or REST Poll

Your ERP halts shipments, your CRM alerts sales, or your finance system creates a priority review task.

Enterprise & SME Workflows

Practical Integration Scenarios

Designed for finance teams and developers who need company-event intelligence embedded directly into daily operational software.

Dedicated Credit & Collections Tools

Custom Webhooks · Zapier · Internal Microservices

Automated Workflows & Webhooks

Trigger immediate business actions when critical events occur: auto-freeze orders in warehouse management systems, alert finance heads, or log an incident in your risk register.

Data Model

The Valuable API Object: The CreditWatchGo Event

Raw government filings lack the context needed to make a commercial decision. A director resignation or legal notice only matters in the context of how much money you have exposed.

The CreditWatchGo event encapsulates the full commercial picture:

  • Verified Official Source: Direct attribution to Companies House filing or Gazette notice.
  • Assigned Severity: Rule-based classification (Critical, High, Medium, Low).
  • Financial Context: Your live exposure, agreed credit limit, and payment terms.
  • Timestamps: When the event occurred legally vs when it was detected.

Security Note: All API requests require standard HTTP Bearer token authentication. Customer exposure and watchlists are strictly isolated by organisation ID.
