Steps
Authenticate via HTTP Basic Auth with the API key
POST /api/companies with type:'company', name, and company_type (e.g. 'Law Firm', 'Process Server') plus nested addresses_attributes, contacts_attributes, phone_numbers_attributes, and email_addresses_attributes arrays
Capture the returned company id to reference later as client_company_id or process_server_company_id on job creation
PUT /api/companies/:id to update fields such as private_note
GET /api/companies?q= to text-search companies/contacts, most reliably by full email address
Use filter[archive_state]=archived to retrieve archived companies, since the default listing is active-only
Known gotchas
type must be exactly 'company' in the payload — any other value, or omitting it, triggers a 409 Conflict instead of a normal validation error
There is no documented way to remove an existing address via the API — addresses_attributes on PUT only adds new addresses, so cleanup requires manual dedup logic
company_type accepts custom values beyond the documented enum, but an unsupported value can display incorrectly in the ServeManager UI even though the API call itself succeeds
