Notices and events
History from the register, insolvency notices, news and mergers & acquisitions.
This page describes four features of fetch-organization. The history and the insolvency notices come from the official publications. News we find on the web. M&A we read from the register entries.
Each feature costs only when it returns data. The prices are listed at fetch-organization.
History
The feature publications returns the history: the company's entries in the register, each as an event. In the response it is under the key history. The feature costs 1 credit when there are entries.
The entries are not sorted by date. Sort them yourself by start_date if you need to.

The history comes from the Chronologischer Abdruck (CD, chronological printout) and often reaches back well before the switch to the electronic register in 2007. It usually contains the company's first registration, but not always all former managing directors. In our example request for Hetzner Online GmbH, Ansbach HRB 6089, it reached back to 2002.

Insolvency notices
The feature insolvency_publications returns the notices of the insolvency courts on the company. It adds the register entries on the proceedings, such as an order for self-administration (Eigenverwaltung). It costs 5 credits, but only when there are entries.
Typical values in publication_label are Eröffnung (opening), Entscheidung im Verfahren (decision in the proceedings), Eigenverwaltung angeordnet (self-administration ordered) and Sonstiges (other).

News
The feature news returns recent articles from the web that we match to the company. You get title, source, date and link. It costs 10 credits when we find articles.
Large and well-known companies get a lot of coverage. Small companies naturally get less, so the list is shorter.
