Filters 11What every filter means

Parameter	Type	Description
`activity`	list	What the company does, as an activity code of NACE-BEL 2025 (older NACE 2008 codes find nothing). A short code covers everything under it: 62 finds every IT company (62100, 62900 and so on). Several codes: separate them with commas. Example: `62,631`
`activity_type`	text	main: only the company's main activities count. all: its secondary activities count too. Default: `main`. Example: `all`
`joint_committee`	list	The joint committee (paritair comité) number, such as 200 or 149.01. 149 does not include 149.01: to get both, ask for 149,149.01. Example: `200,124`
`min_fte`	number	At least this many employees, in full-time equivalents. Companies whose number is not known are left out. Example: `10`
`max_fte`	number	At most this many employees, in full-time equivalents. Companies whose number is not known are left out. Example: `50`
`legal_form`	list	The legal form, as its code, such as 610 for a BV. Example: `610,014`
`legal_situation`	list	The legal situation, as its code. 000 means active as normal: not dissolved, not bankrupt. Example: `000`
`min_age`	number	At least this many years old, counted in full years since the start date, like a person's age. Companies without a known start date are left out. Example: `1`
`max_age`	number	At most this many years old, in full years: 0 is less than 1 year old, so max_age=0 finds the companies that started in the last 12 months. Example: `2`
`limit`	number	How many companies per page, from 1 to 100. Every company in the answer counts as 1 request. Default: `100`. Example: `50`
