What is firmenbuchat?
firmenbuchat is a dedicated CLI tool designed to simplify programmatic access to the Austrian Company Register (Firmenbuch). It serves as a bridge between developers and the HVD WebServices, providing a structured way to query corporate information, retrieve legal extracts, and manage documents. This tool is a valuable addition to the Openclaw Skills ecosystem for anyone requiring reliable, real-time data on Austrian business entities.
By leveraging this tool, users can move away from manual web-based searches and integrate official company data directly into their terminal workflows or automated scripts. It handles the complexities of API communication, offering easy-to-read table outputs or parseable JSON for further data processing.

- Performing automated due diligence and background checks on Austrian companies.
- Retrieving historical and current company extracts for legal compliance.
- Monitoring daily changes in the commercial register for specific industries or regions.
- Bulk downloading official documents (Urkunden) using unique identification keys.
How firmenbuchat Works
- The user provides an API key obtained from the HVD WebServices to authenticate requests.
- Commands are issued via the CLI to search for companies based on name, legal form, or registration number (FNR).
- The tool sends structured requests to the Austrian registry's API endpoints.
- Data is returned and formatted according to the user's preference (Table, JSON, or Raw), enabling easy integration into Openclaw Skills workflows.
