> Learn how to fetch company descriptions with an API using pipe0



In this blog post, we explore how you can generate a company description via an API endpoint.
For this, we use [pipe0](https://pipe0.com).

Pipe0 is a framework for data enrichment. To enrich data with pipe0 you use enrichment pipes.
There are several pipes available to generate a company description via API. For this blog post, we're
using the pipe [company:overview@3](https://www.pipe0.com/docs/pipe-catalog/company:overview/3).

Besides the description, this pipe returns the company's industry, headcount, founding year, and estimated revenue.

It costs 1 credit per company.
