Hi balachandermca2012,

That feature isn’t available in the API yet. We do plan on adding more features to the search and hopefully that will include searching by SIC code.

Thanks,  
Andrew

Depending on how fresh you need the data to be, you could download and use the [Free Company Data Product](http://download.companieshouse.gov.uk/en_output.html). This is a monthly snapshot of basic company information including the SIC codes.

I would also be interested in a lookup on SIC code. Are there any advancements on this?

Thanks for the link to the free company data product, this will be useful in the mean time!

We have this particular functionality in our backlog but other functionality has a higher priority.

+1 for this feature.

Not sure if there’s been an update since this topic started, nothing in the docs.

would be good to have the directory browsable or filenames in a latest.txt so the download/import could be automated; and/or also have delta of updates so not to require a full download everytime.

Any updates to this? Would be great to provide the ability for our users to download a CSV file matching a particular SIC Code. Just need the ability to search via the search functionality

Hey folks, I built a product that allows you to filter companies by SIC code (among other things like geographical radius from some post code). It’s new, but it’s already working very well. Check out [https://newbusinessmonitor.co.uk/](https://newbusinessmonitor.co.uk/).

CH Staff: Yes, this is self-promotion, but it is absolutely relevant to this thread 😊

Hi, does anyone know why the companyProfile API doesn’t return sic\_code when it is available? Schema says it’s optional but have tested with my own company which includes one.

It does return an array of SIC codes if any are available.  
Here is an example for 03481736:-  
:  
“status”: “active”,  
“sic\_codes”: [  
“75000”  
],  
“date\_of\_creation”: “1997-12-16”,  
:  
do you have a company number that does not return a SIC code so I can investigate for you?

Thanks for the reply Mark and sorry for the confusion.

Yes, it does return sic\_codes. I was using the wrong end point. I was using [https://api.companieshouse.gov.uk/search/companies?q=03481736](https://api.companieshouse.gov.uk/search/companies?q=03481736) instead of [https://api.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/03481736](https://api.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/03481736).

Kind Regards,  
Usman

I’m a web developer and wanted a regular list of newly formed companies near me, including their SIC codes - I eventually used Find New Companies [https://www.findnewcompanies.co.uk](https://www.findnewcompanies.co.uk) . It’s a simple service, but suited my purposes (and was cheap).

Hi all  
This is an old question and I don’t know if there is still a need for it I have now built [convert-ixbrl.co.uk](https://convert-ixbrl.co.uk) with an API and a search portal. Both the API and the search portal allow looking up companies using SIC Codes.

Here is the API documentation link with example queries [Find Companies Documentation](https://convert-ixbrl.co.uk/Documentation/v1/FindCompanies)

Thanks
