Parameters

Parameter	Type		Notes
fields	string · query	optional	Comma-separated allow-list of top-level fields to include in the response. Example: `name,slug,categories`. Unknown names return a 400 with the valid list.
max_age_seconds	integer · query	optional	Return a fresh fetch if the cached record is older than this many seconds. Finer-grained than `fresh=true`. Billed as non-cached only when the cache was actually stale and required a refetch; a warm hit under the threshold stays billed as cached.
fresh	boolean · query	optional	Set `true` to skip the cache and fetch fresh data (billed as a non-cached request). · default Falsee.g. `false`
id	string · query	required	Company slug (e.g. `stripe`, `databricks`) or UUID. Find slugs via `/company/search` or `/autocomplete`. · default nvidia
