from the container, and start using it.
Get A Company Profile
To get a company profile, you can quite simply:
use JustSteveKing\CompaniesHouse\Client; class CompanyController extends Controler { public function __construct( protected Client $service, ) {} public function __invoke(Request $request) { $company = $this->service->company( companyNumber: $request->get('company_number') ); } }

You can get a Collection
of Company Officers using the companies number:
use JustSteveKing\CompaniesHouse\Client; class CompanyOfficersController extends Controler { public function __construct( protected Client $service, ) {} public function __invoke(Request $request) { $company = $this->service->officers( companyNumber: $request->get('company_number') ); } }
Get a specific Officer from a Company
You can get an Officer
from a company using the company number and their appointment ID:
use JustSteveKing\CompaniesHouse\Client; class CompanyOfficerController extends Controler { public function __construct( protected Client $service, ) {} public function __invoke(Request $request) { $company = $this->service->officer( companyNumber: $request->get('company_number'), appointmentId: $request->get('appointment_id'), ); } }

- companies
- officers
- disqualified officers
- search all

use JustSteveKing\CompaniesHouse\Client; class CompanySearchController extends Controler { public function __construct( protected Client $service, ) {} public function __invoke(Request $request) { $results = $this->service->searchCompany( query: $request->get('query'), perPage: 25, //optional startIndex: 0, //optional ); } }
Searching for Officers
This will return a SearchCollection
use JustSteveKing\CompaniesHouse\Client; class OfficersSearchController extends Controler { public function __construct( protected Client $service, ) {} public function __invoke(Request $request) { $results = $this->service->searchOfficers( query: $request->get('query'), perPage: 25, //optional startIndex: 0, //optional ); } }

use JustSteveKing\CompaniesHouse\Client; class SearchController extends Controler { public function __construct( protected Client $service, ) {} public function __invoke(Request $request) { $results = $this->service->search( query: $request->get('query'), perPage: 25, //optional startIndex: 0, //optional ); } }
