Response fields

The meta fields sit next to data, not inside it. Paginate using meta.hasMore: a data length equal to limit does not rule out the last page.

The card URL of any company from the data array is built from its id:

https://<portal>.bitrix24.com/crm/company/details/<id>/

<portal> is the Bitrix24 portal domain. Access is restricted by the employee's permissions in Bitrix24.

Response example

{
  "success": true,
  "data": [
    {
      "id": 1,
      "title": "Acme LLC",
      "industry": "IT",
      "assignedById": 1
    }
  ],
  "meta": {
    "total": 74,
    "hasMore": true,
    "durationMs": 537
  }
}

With a date-range filter wider than 14 days, meta additionally returns autoWindowed, windowCount, and batchWaves:

{
  "success": true,
  "data": [ /* ... */ ],
  "meta": {
    "total": 8,
    "hasMore": true,
    "autoWindowed": true,
    "windowCount": 131,
    "batchWaves": 3,
    "durationMs": 1494
  }
}

Error response example

403 — no scope:

{
  "success": false,
  "error": {
    "code": "SCOPE_DENIED",
    "message": "This endpoint requires 'crm' scope"
  }
}

Known specifics

Time-window splitting. A date-range filter wider than 14 days is automatically split into weekly windows executed in parallel waves, so the result set bypasses the ceiling of 5000 records per call. meta then returns autoWindowed: true, the number of windows windowCount, and the number of waves batchWaves. The autoWindow: false parameter disables splitting. While splitting is active, an offset greater than zero is rejected with UNSTABLE_OFFSET_PAGINATION.

The phone filter is not suitable for every search. A value without an operator is compared against the whole stored string: a company whose number is stored as +1 (202) 555-0123 matches that exact string, but not 12025550123, because the plus sign, spaces, parentheses, and hyphens are part of the value. The filter also checks only the first number stored on a record: if both a work number and a mobile number are stored, searching by the mobile one returns an empty list. To find a company by phone number in any format and by any of its numbers, use Duplicate search. The $contains operator does work here — it searches for a fragment of text inside the value, which makes it a practical approach for email: { "email": { "$contains": "@example.com" } }.
