Industry & SIC Classifier
2 credits / callA domain or name → its industry, SIC codes and what it does.
Point it at a business and get back the official SIC codes, a plain-English industry label, a one-line description of what they do, and a confidence rating.
Industry classification sounds solved until you try it: businesses mislabel themselves, registries lag reality, and a bare domain tells you nothing. This endpoint reads the register AND the business's own website, then returns both the official SIC codes and a plain-English label with a one-line description — plus an honest confidence rating instead of a silent guess. Consistent categorisation, at machine speed, from the two sources that actually matter.
what you’d build with it
Segmentation that's real
Tag every account with official SIC codes + a human label — your analytics and routing stop guessing industries.
Risk & underwriting buckets
Fintech and insurance flows that need 'what does this business actually do' answered consistently, at machine speed.
Marketplace categorisation
Sellers self-categorise wrongly; this classifies them from their own website and the register instead.

Why developers pick it
Plain-English + official codes
Both the human label and the SIC codes, from one call — not just a raw registry code.
Grounded, with confidence
Backed by a verified company match and an honest confidence rating, not a guess.
