Look up a single company when you already know its registry-issued identifier. The response is the company entity — the same record embedded under results[].company in search results.

curl -s 'https://api.govfiles.dev/v2/companies/us_de/7218394' \
  -H "X-API-Key: $GOVFILES_API_KEY"

jurisdiction_code is case-insensitive and must be one of the supported jurisdiction codes. company_number is the registry-issued identifier returned as entity_number on the entity, and must match exactly as it appears on the record. 404 is returned when the company_number is not present in the given jurisdiction — including the case where the same number exists under a different jurisdiction.
