To retrieve all businesses, use the GET /businesses operation with no other parameters, as shown in the example below.
curl --request GET \
--url https://sandbox.bond.tech/api/v0/businesses \
--header 'Identity: <YOUR_IDENTITY>' \
--header 'Authorization: <YOUR_AUTHORIZATION>' \
require 'uri'
require 'net/http'
require 'openssl'
url = URI("https://sandbox.bond.tech/api/v0/businesses")
http = Net::HTTP.new(url.host, url.port)
http.use_ssl = true
request = Net::HTTP::Get.new(url)
request["Identity"] = <YOUR_IDENTITY>
request["Authorization"] = <YOUR_AUTHORIZATION>
response = http.request(request)
puts response.read_body
const options = {
method: 'GET',
headers: {
Identity: '<YOUR_IDENTITY>',
Authorization: '<YOUR_AUTHORIZATION>'
}
};
fetch('https://sandbox.bond.tech/api/v0/businesses', options)
.then(response => response.json())
.then(response => console.log(response))
.catch(err => console.error(err));
import requests
url = "https://sandbox.bond.tech/api/v0/businesses"
headers = {
"Content-Type": "application/json",

}
response = requests.request("GET", url, headers=headers)
print(response.text)
var client = new RestClient("https://sandbox.bond.tech/api/v0/businesses");
var request = new RestRequest(Method.GET);
request.AddHeader("Identity", "<YOUR_IDENTITY>");
request.AddHeader("Authorization", "<YOUR_AUTHORIZATION>");
IRestResponse response = client.Execute(request);
OkHttpClient client = new OkHttpClient();
Request request = new Request.Builder()
.url("https://sandbox.bond.tech/api/v0/businesses")
