Error Handling
- Nyne is async: POST returns
request_id, poll with GET — results take 5-20 seconds
- 404 — Company not found; try alternate name or domain
- 429 — Rate limit exceeded; wait and retry
- Fiber returns empty results for very niche queries — broaden search terms
company_name works better than company_domain for Nyne lookups
Tips
- Nyne is async: Start with POST, poll with GET using request_id (5-20 seconds)
- Fiber is sync: Returns results immediately
- company_name > company_domain for Nyne lookups
- Fiber's natural language search is very flexible - just describe what you want
- Fiber returns rich company data including similar companies
