Requirements on the Company Object

Call Get Company Information.

curl --request GET \
     --url https://api.zeal.com/companies \
     --header 'accept: application/json'

This will return a JSON object containing a requirements field.

  "data": {
    // ...
    "requirements": [
      {
        "companyID": "1234567890",
        "type": "state_payroll_tax_number",
        "state": "AZ",
        "id": "33472873692",
        "name": "State Payroll Tax No. required",
