# Trustpilot Business Search API (https://www.socialcrawl.dev/platforms/trustpilot/business-search)

> Searches Trustpilot for businesses (companies) matching a keyword. Returns a unified AuthorList — each result is a business profile with its display name, Trustpilot domain (`username`/`id`), own website (`external_url`), Trustpilot review-page URL (`url`), and total Trustpilot review count (`posts_count`). Use the returned domain to pull that business's reviews via /v1/trustpilot/reviews. Note: search matches BUSINESSES, not products — a domain-shaped query returns no results. Sourced from DataForSEO's task-based Business Data API; the async lifecycle is handled server-side, so this is an ordinary synchronous request (first calls take ~15-45s, then serve from cache).

TL;DR: `GET /v1/trustpilot/business-search` costs 1 credit per call and returns SocialCrawl's unified JSON schema. Single x-api-key auth, 100 free credits on signup.

## Parameters

| Parameter | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `query` | yes | Business name or keyword (e.g. 'nike'). Matches companies, not products; do not pass a bare domain. |
| `depth` | no | Number of business results to retrieve (default 20, multiples of 10, max 140). More results = longer task time. |

## Code example

```bash
curl "https://www.socialcrawl.dev/v1/trustpilot/business-search?query=nike" \
  -H "x-api-key: sc_YOUR_API_KEY"
```

## FAQ

### How do I find a company on Trustpilot with an API?

Send a GET request to /v1/trustpilot/business-search with the query parameter set to the company name (e.g. nike). The response lists matching businesses, each with its display name, Trustpilot domain, website, and total review count.

### What does Trustpilot business search return?

Each result is a business profile: the company display name, its Trustpilot domain (use this to pull reviews), the company's own website, the Trustpilot review-page URL, and the total number of reviews on Trustpilot.

### How do I get the domain to fetch reviews?

Business search returns the Trustpilot domain on every result (e.g. www.nike.com). Pass that domain to GET /v1/trustpilot/reviews to retrieve that company's reviews. This two-step flow is the intended way to use the Trustpilot API.

### Can I search Trustpilot by domain instead of name?

Business search matches company names, not domains — passing a bare domain returns no results. If you already know the domain, skip search and call the reviews endpoint directly with it.

### How much does Trustpilot business search cost?

Each business-search request costs 1 credit on the standard tier. New accounts get 100 free credits with no credit card required, so you can run roughly 100 searches before paying.
