I would like to be able to follow a company from my site to monitor Director and beneficiary owner changes. Is there a code to follow for these specific changes? if not, if not, is there a code to simply follow the company for all types of changes?

Thanks.

Following companies isn’t in this API currently as far as I can see (from searching this forum and checking the [API documentation](https://developer.companieshouse.gov.uk/api/docs/)). It’s just another Companies House service.

I know no more about it than information given below:

- It works via email notifications of changes. You sign up via the [CH Beta site](https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/).
- More info: [Follow companies for free - GOV.UK](https://www.gov.uk/government/news/follow-companies-for-free)
- There’s no maximum of companies you can follow: [Follow Service Account Limit](http://forum.aws.chdev.org/t/follow-service-account-limit/1132)
