Would it be possible to return a list of company according to a certain property?

In our case, we need to retreive the Company for a specific Company Owner so our user can select only the ones he’s allowed. The solution so far is to get all companies (that implies dealing with offset) then add a filter in the app. The fact that we have to get all companies will make the app less responsive than get all the companies based on a filter.

How is this still not possible? Is there a business reason for making the API almost infuriatingly difficult to use?

Can someone from Hubspot answer this thread, and let us know when retrieving companies via API based on a property (or properties) will be possible, or if it has been decided on the HS side that it will never be made possible?

Hey all,

This is now possible with the CRM V3 API; specifically, the Search API allows for custom searching/filtering of company records:

> **[Search the CRM - HubSpot docs](https://developers.hubspot.com/docs/api-reference/latest/crm/search-the-crm)**
>
> The CRM search endpoints make getting data more efficient by allowing developers to filter, sort, and search across any CRM object type.
