# searchHealthCanadaCompanies

**Identifier:** `healthcanada_searchHealthCanadaCompanies`

**Provider:** [Health Canada Drug Product Database](https://kirha.com/providers/healthcanada.md)

Find drug companies (DIN owners) in the Health Canada Drug Product Database by name, with address and product counts by status. Pass the company name to searchHealthCanadaDrugProducts to list its products. Canadian affiliates are often separate entities (e.g. 'Merck Canada Inc' vs 'Frosst a division of Merck Canada Inc').

## Run it with the CLI

```bash
kirha tools run healthcanada_searchHealthCanadaCompanies \
  --input '{
    "name": "Merck"
  }'
```

`--input` takes a JSON object that matches the input schema. Pass `--input -` to read it from stdin.

## Call it over HTTP

```bash
curl https://api.kirha.com/tools/v1/execute \
  --request POST \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --header 'Authorization: **********' \
  --data '{
  "tool_name": "healthcanada_searchHealthCanadaCompanies",
  "input": {
    "name": "Merck"
  }
}'
```

Replace the stars with an API key from https://app.kirha.com/api-keys.
