GEPIR
The GS1 GEPIR (Global Electronic Party Information Register) is a distributed database that contains basic information on over 1,000,000 companies in over 100 countries. GEPIR is publicly available at no cost, but limits the number of requests per/day from an IP to 30. GS1 offers a similar paid service, the GS1 Data Hub, which provides additional capabilities without the traffic limitations imposed by GEPIR.
