  "account": "This script performs KYB checks on European companies by querying six different company registers from France, Norway, Finland, Czechia, Ireland, and Poland using a single Python script. The script takes a list of register IDs, makes API calls to retrieve company data, and flags any inactive or liquidated companies for human review. The script also normalizes the status of companies and handles cases where a company is not found or has an invalid ID.",
  "summary": "If you onboard European suppliers or customers, \"does this company exist, is it still active, and is that its registered address?\" means six different registers with six different APIs, ID formats and status vocabularies. This post builds a small KYB check that takes a list of register IDs and flags anything that needs a human. Then it turns the same check into a daily watch for liquidations.…",
