Australian registers, one API.

Every source is read-only, source-backed, and timestamped so your agent can cite results instead of guessing. Paid PPSR dispatches are previewed before they run.

PPSR searches

Search the Personal Property Securities Register for security interests against a business or a specific asset. Organisation searches run by ACN; serial-number searches run by VIN, chassis, or supported serial type.

Organisation search by ACN: is there a registration against this business?
Serial-number search: is this asset already encumbered?
Free preview before any paid dispatch, so a human confirms the cost.
Org-only boundary: no individual-grantor search scope is offered.

ABN lookup

Verify Australian business identity against the Australian Business Register. Confirm the legal entity behind an ABN before your agent acts on it.

Entity name, entity type, and ABN status.
Trading names and ABN history where the source provides them.
Lower-cost usage than PPSR source dispatches.

Search certificates

Completed PPSR searches produce an official, time-stamped certificate: proof of what the register showed at a specific point in time.

Certificate retrieved by search ID when the source search completes.
Stored for due-diligence evidence where your account is enabled for records.
Downloadable through approved account surfaces and API paths where available.

Audit-readySource-backed

Evidence you can rely on

A certificate is the difference between "the agent thinks" and "here is the source record, dated and stored." That is what belongs in a due-diligence file.

Counterparty verification

Combine ABN identity, GST status, and PPSR checks into a single source-backed answer about a business: the question agents are really being asked before a deal.

One workflow that runs the right checks for the subject.
Structured result your agent can summarise and explain.
Underlying checks stay logged, timestamped, and traceable.

Future sources

More Australian business, asset, and regulatory datasets fit the same integration model. One contract today; broader coverage as registers come online.

Same auth, billing, and audit model for every new source.

On the roadmap

One integration, more data over time

Build against Hoist once. As new Australian sources are enabled, your agent gets new capabilities without a new integration.

Next step

Give your agent the registers.

Start with PPSR and ABN checks. Source-backed, certificated, and governed through the same API, MCP, and CLI posture.
