By using our test swagger you can perform the same types of search requests as you would when using our actual KvK API’s. The only difference is that our test swagger does not use our regular data set but instead consists of a set of fictional data. Below you can find the KvK numbers (and the corresponding legalform) that are included in the dataset.

You can also directly interact with our test API's by using the endpoint shown below (without logging in). In the manual you can find all the available input and output parameters.
