# Global Company Company Search

Search company data from the global company database (全球企业库) using the UpKuaJing Open Platform API.

## Overview

This skill provides access to UpKuaJing's global-company-database company data through one list search script. API key generation and top-up are provided through the `auth.py` script.

## Running Scripts

### Environment Setup

1. **Check Python**: `python --version`
2. **Install dependencies**: `pip install -r requirements.txt`

Script directory: `scripts/*.py`
Run example: `python scripts/*.py`

**Important**: Always use direct script invocation like `python scripts/global_company_search.py`. **Do NOT use** shell compound commands like `cd scripts && python global_company_search.py`

### Global Company List Search (`global_company_search.py`)
- **Return granularity**: Each company as one record
- **Use cases**: Focus on "which companies exist" in the global company database
- **Examples**:
  - "Find manufacturers producing LED lights"
  - "Find companies by their website URL"
- **Parameters**: See [Global Company List](references/global-company-list-api.md)

## API Key and Top-up

This skill requires an API key. The API key is stored in the `~/.upkuajing/.env` file:
```bash
cat ~/.upkuajing/.env
```
**Example file content**:
```
UPKUAJING_API_KEY=your_api_key_here
```
### **API Key Not Set**
First check if the `~/.upkuajing/.env` file has UPKUAJING_API_KEY;
If UPKUAJING_API_KEY is not set, prompt the user to choose:
1. User has one: User provides it (manually add to ~/.upkuajing/.env file)
2. User doesn't have one: You can apply using the interface (`auth.py --new_key`), the new key will be automatically saved to ~/.upkuajing/.env
Wait for user selection;

### **Account Top-up**
When API response indicates insufficient balance, explain and guide user to top up:
1. Create top-up order (`auth.py --new_rec_order`)
2. Based on order response, send payment page URL to user, guide user to open URL and pay, user confirms after successful payment;

### **Get Account Information**
Use this script to get account information for UPKUAJING_API_KEY: `auth.py --account_info`

## API Key and UpKuaJing Account
- Newly applied API key: Register and login at [UpKuaJing Open Platform](https://developer.upkuajing.com/), then bind account

## Fees

**All API calls incur fees**, different interfaces have different billing methods.

**Latest pricing**: Users can visit [Detailed Price Description](https://www.upkuajing.com/web/openapi/price.html)
Or use: `python scripts/auth.py --price_info` (returns complete pricing for all interfaces)

### List Search Billing Rules

Billed by **number of calls**, each call returns up to 20 records:
- Number of calls: `ceil(query_count / 20)` times
- **Whenever query_count > 20, must before execution:**
  1. Inform user of expected number of calls
  2. Stop, wait for explicit user confirmation in a separate message, then execute script

### Fee Confirmation Principle

**Any operation that incurs fees must first inform and wait for explicit user confirmation. Do not execute in the same message as the notification.**


## Workflow

Choose parameters based on user intent.

### Decision Guide

| User Intent | Use API |
|-------------|---------|
| "Find companies producing XXX" | Global company list (products / keywords) |
| "Find companies with email/phone" | Global company list existEmail=1 / existPhone=1 |
| "Find a company by its website URL" | Global company list companyUrls |
| "Find companies with valid email" | Global company list existValidEmail=1 |

## Usage Examples

### Scenario 1: Small Query — Search Companies

**User request**: "Find Chinese manufacturers producing LED lights"
```bash
python scripts/global_company_search.py \
  --params '{"products": ["LED lights"], "countryCodes": ["CN"], "existEmail": 1}' \
  --query_count 20
```

### Scenario 2: Large Query — Multiple Script Calls Required

**User request**: "Find 1000 US electronics companies with email addresses"
**Before execution** inform user: ceil(1000/20) = 50 API calls, confirm before executing.
```bash
python scripts/global_company_search.py --params '{"products": ["electronics"], "countryCodes": ["US"], "existEmail": 1}' --query_count 1000
```
**After execution**: Script responds {"task_id":"a1b2-c3d4", "file_url": "xxxxx", ……}
**Continue execution, append data**: Specify task_id, script continues from where it left off and appends to file
```bash
python scripts/global_company_search.py --task_id 'task-id-here' --query_count 2000
```

## Error Handling

- **API key invalid/non-existent**: Check `UPKUAJING_API_KEY` in `~/.upkuajing/.env` file
- **Insufficient balance**: Guide user to top up
- **Invalid parameters**: **Must first check the corresponding API documentation in references/ directory**, get correct parameter names and formats from documentation, do not guess

### API Documentation Reference

- [Global Company List API](references/global-company-list-api.md)

## Best Practices

1. **Check API documentation**:
   - **Before executing queries, must first check the corresponding API reference documentation**
   - Check [references/global-company-list-api.md](references/global-company-list-api.md)
   - Do not guess parameter names, get accurate parameter names and formats from documentation

2. **Optimize query parameters**:
   - Use `products` / `companyNames` / `companyUrls` to filter precisely; industry and product names must be in **English**
   - Use `existEmail=1` or `existValidEmail=1` to filter companies with contact information
   - Use `countryCodes` to limit country scope

3. **Large result sets**:
   - For large queries, pay attention to the jsonl file size

## Notes
- Company records use `pid` as the unique identifier
- All timestamps are in **seconds** (incorp_date is a second-level timestamp)
- Country codes use ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 format (e.g., CN, US, JP)
- File paths use forward slashes on all platforms
- Industry names must be in **English**
- Search quantity affects API response time, recommend setting timeout: 120
- **Prohibit outputting technical parameter format**: Do not display code-style parameters in responses, convert to natural language
- **Do not** estimate or guess per-call fees — use `python scripts/auth.py --price_info` to get accurate pricing information
- **Do not** guess parameter names, get accurate parameter names and formats from documentation
