Get IPO by ID

What it does

Returns a single IPO record by its Specter IPO ID, including the issuing company’s Specter company ID and primary domain so you can chain to GET /companies/{companyId} for the full company record.

Why you’d use it

Enrich a known listing in your CRM or data warehouse, or follow up on a reference returned by GET /companies/{companyId}/ipos.

Key behaviors

• Path param: ipoId (Specter IPO ID, prefix ipo_) is required.

• Response: a single PublicIpo object.

• Many IPO fields are nullable when the underlying disclosure was not available (e.g. private listings without published share price).

• Not found: returns 404 Not Found if no IPO with that ID exists.

This endpoint uses 1 credit per request.
