# MCA Director API

The public MCA record for an Indian company director by DIN: their name, contact details on file, and every board they sit on — each with the company's CIN, name, status, state, their designation and appointment date.

**Pricing:** $0.05 per director

**Endpoint:** `POST /v1/data/mca/director/run`

**Auth:** `Authorization: Bearer mk_live_...`

## Parameters

| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|-----------|------|----------|-------------|
| `queries` | array | Yes | One or more 8-digit Director Identification Numbers, zero-padded, e.g. 00000001. Each DIN returns one row; a DIN with no directorships returns no row and is not charged. ONE BAD DIN DOES NOT SINK THE BATCH — anything that is not a valid DIN is skipped, the rest are looked up, and the run tells you which ones were skipped. |
| `maxResults` | integer | No | Stop after this many have been looked up. Each one costs a row, so this caps the bill as well as the output. 0 or omitted means every identifier you sent. |

## Example

`?wait=true` holds the request open until the run finishes (up to 60s) and returns the rows inline — one request, no polling.

```bash
curl -X POST "https://api.mindcase.co/v1/data/mca/director/run?wait=true" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer mk_live_YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"params":{"queries":["..."]}}'
```

```python
import requests

resp = requests.post(
    "https://api.mindcase.co/v1/data/mca/director/run",
    params={"wait": "true"},
    headers={"Authorization": "Bearer mk_live_YOUR_API_KEY"},
    json={"params": {
    "queries": [
        "..."
    ]
}},
)
rows = resp.json()["data"]
```

## Longer runs

If the run is still going at the 60s ceiling you get back `{ job_id, status: "running" }` instead of rows (same if the result is over 100 rows — those come back `truncated`). Poll with that `job_id`:

```bash
# 1) check status
curl https://api.mindcase.co/v1/jobs/JOB_ID \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer mk_live_YOUR_API_KEY"

# 2) when status == completed, fetch the rows
curl https://api.mindcase.co/v1/jobs/JOB_ID/results \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer mk_live_YOUR_API_KEY"
```
