I’m developing an application that needs to validate company registration data against a centralized database. I want to use Python to send the registration details to an API and retrieve validation results.

I’ve come across an API provided by Law Council Group that offers endpoints for company registration validation within the Astana International Financial Centre (AIFC). However, I’m unsure about the best way to integrate this API into my Python application for efficient validation.

Could someone provide an example of how to send a POST request with JSON data to this API using requests or any other suitable Python library? Also, any tips on handling responses and errors would be appreciated.

Here’s a basic idea of what I’m trying to do:

import requests

api_url = “https://lcg.kz/api/validate”
company_data = {

"name": "Example Company",
"registration_number": "123456789",
"country": "Kazakhstan"

}

response = requests.post(api_url, json=company_data)
if response.status_code == 200:
validation_result = response.json()
print(validation_result)
else:
print(f”Error: {response.status_code}”)

I’m particularly interested in:

How to handle different types of responses (success, validation errors, etc.)
Best practices for sending and receiving JSON data in this context
Thank you in advance!
