In this article, I will clarify the object table and JSON output specifically in the context of the Global Database company ownership API. It is important for readers to understand the structure and format of the data returned by the API in order to effectively utilize the information it provides. Therefore, I will provide a detailed explanation of the object table and JSON output and how they are used to represent company ownership data.

Here is a list of the objects in the table along with a description of each:

• shareholders: This object represents the shareholder(s) of a company.

• id: This object specifies a unique identifier for the shareholder.

• name: This object specifies the name of the shareholder.

• quantity: This object specifies the number of shares owned by the shareholder.

• currency: This object specifies the currency in which the share value is expressed.

• share_value: This object specifies the value of the shares owned by the shareholder.

The information in the table is useful because it provides a detailed breakdown of the company ownership data provided by the Global Database company ownership API. The various objects listed in the table, such as shareholders, share value, and group structure, give a comprehensive overview of the ownership structure of a company. This information can be used to understand the relationships between different shareholders and companies, as well as the value of the shares held by each shareholder. Additionally, the unique identifiers (such as the id and registration_number objects) allow for easy referencing and tracking of specific shareholders or companies within the group. Overall, the information in the table is essential for anyone looking to gain a clear understanding of the ownership structure of a company.

Explaining the JSON output

This JSON output provides information about the shareholders and group structure of a company. The "shareholders" array contains objects representing each shareholder, including their unique identifier, name, number of shares owned, currency, share value, creation date, share type, and share price. The "data" array is currently empty. The "group_structure" array contains an object representing the hierarchical structure of the company's group, including the unique identifier, registration number, selection status, and name of each company in the group, as well as any sub-companies (represented in the "children" array). The "registration_number" field at the bottom of the output specifies the registration number of the company.
