the WorldCheck ID for a company is different than the RIC...

Is there a list of worldcheckIDs-Company that I can retrieve or use somewhere? is there a relation with RICs too?

    There is no relation between RICs and WorldCheck ID, WorldCheck IDs in World-Check One API are unique IDs given to each profile of an entity/org in the World-Check One data. Using these World-Check Ids/ Profile IDs one can fetch the profile details of respective entities.

    Somehow I struggle to see how to use the APIs with those IDs. When I query for a profile I then get a list of connections (very interesting) but those connections are in the form of entityIDs aka worldcheckIDs rather than showing the name of the company or person

    i.e: {
    "reversed": null,
    "targetEntityId": "e_tr_wci_2739835",
    "targetExternalImportId": "ei_trwc_2739835",
    "type": "ASSOCIATE"
    },

    How can I use this exactly? Is there a way to get company names for all my connections or should I do one per one?

    Yes, When you get the profile details of an entity you also get the associate details which will also have it's entityID which will get you the associate profile details and it also tells you the type of associates like "Affiliated Company" You will have to get them one by one.

    I'm afraid you should fetch the company names one connection at a time.
