How does it work?
The source here is BrasilAPI, which gathers public Receita Federal data on Brazilian CNPJs. It's free and needs no signup.
Everything that comes back is public: legal name, status, main activity (CNAE code), address, plus phone and email when those exist.
Lookup runs browser-to-API. Mind the informal use limit (~5 req/s).

Look up a company's public data
Before closing a deal with a company, you can take a look at its details, which happen to be public anyway. Here you query a CNPJ (Brazilian company tax number) and get the registration data back, all from the open BrasilAPI base.
You get the company name, the registration status (whether it's active, closed or suspended), the main activity and a few other registration fields. Use it to validate a supplier, fill in a B2B registration, see whether a CNPJ is in good standing or just find out who it belongs to.
It all comes in real time from BrasilAPI, queried by the browser, over information that's public to begin with. A shortcut for checking a company without getting tangled up in the tax authority's site.
