Florida Business API

Alternative to sunbizdata.com — Florida Business API

Florida Business API is a developer-first alternative for accessing Florida business entity records. Compared to sunbizdata.com, Florida Business API ships daily new-business lead feeds, CSV exports, and a public web search funnel alongside the REST API. Same upstream source (Florida Division of Corporations SFTP feed); different developer experience.
