Organizations

Organization entities represent legally established business or corporate entities. Each organization entity typically corresponds to a unique company, nonprofit, government body, or any other type.

The /api/v2/entities/organization/get/{FB_ENTITY_ID} endpoint in the Fusionbase API provides structured information about specific organizations. This endpoint is essential for retrieving detailed and structured data about companies using their unique Fusionbase Entity ID (FB_ENTITY_ID).

Request Header

X-API-KEY: Your Fusionbase API key. This key authenticates your access to the API.
Content-Type: application/json. This header specifies the format of the request body.

Request Structure

The endpoint is accessed via a GET request to https://api.fusionbase.com/api/v2/entities/organization/get/{FB_ENTITY_ID}.
{FB_ENTITY_ID} should be replaced with the actual Fusionbase Entity ID of the organization you wish to query.

Request Sample

import requests

url = "https://api.fusionbase.com/api/v2/entities/organization/get/FB_ENTITY_ID"
headers = {
    "X-API-KEY": "<YOUR API KEY>",
    "Content-Type": "application/json"
}

response = requests.get(url, headers=headers)
print(response.json())

const axios = require('axios');

const headers = {
    "X-API-KEY": "<YOUR API KEY>",
    "Content-Type": "application/json"

        console.log(response.data);
