Request
Over HTTP, with a card key from /credits:
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer adt_…" "https://glyphcall.com/se/company?orgnr=556703-7485"
Or one of your 3 free calls, no key:
curl "https://glyphcall.com/se/company?orgnr=556703-7485&trial=1"
Without a key, the same URL answers 402 Payment Required with x402 and MPP terms, so an agent with a wallet pays per call in USDC (Base, Polygon, Arbitrum or Solana over x402; Base or Tempo over MPP) and retries.

Questions
Where does the data come from?
Bolagsverket's and SCB's free weekly bulk files (EU high-value datasets), refreshed every Tuesday.
Is this a credit report?
No. It shows register facts only: no score, rating or opinion. Sole traders are not included.
How do I pay?
Each successful call costs $0.01; failed calls are not charged. The first 3 calls are free (25 through an MCP client). Then pay with card credits (from $1; the key goes in an Authorization header or, for clients that can only fetch a URL, as api_key= in the URL) or per call in USDC over x402 or MPP. No account is needed.
