This document explains how Strise integrates with the Orbis API (Bureau van Dijk) for company search and entity enrichment.

Overview

The Orbis integration provides two capabilities:

1. Search – find companies in the Orbis global database by name and country.
2. Enrichment – fetch detailed company data (including beneficial owners and roles) from Orbis and store it as an entity in Strise.

The integration requires the Orbis delegated access feature to be enabled and an API token to be configured. Contact Strise to set this up. Each team has its own Orbis API credentials stored securely and encrypted in Strise.

Getting an ApiToken from BvD Orbis

To enable the Orbis integration, the customer must obtain an ApiToken from Bureau van Dijk (BvD). Please note that API access is a separate product from the standard Orbis license — customers should verify they have API access included in their subscription.

To request an ApiToken:

1. Contact your BvD Orbis account representative or reach out to BvD Orbis support.

2. Request an ApiToken for API access to Orbis.

3. Once received, share the ApiToken securely with the Strise team to complete the integration setup.

Company Search

How it works

Search takes a company name and an optional country, and returns matching companies from the Orbis global database. Only results with a match score of 80% or above are returned, to ensure relevant matches.

Search confidence

Each result includes a confidence level and a numeric score:

When any result has HIGH confidence, only HIGH results are shown. Otherwise, LOW results are filtered out and only MEDIUM results are returned.
