== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Do I need an API key? =

No. The default SCALA Score API endpoint is free and requires no authentication.

= Can I change the number of results? =

Yes. Use the shortcode attribute: [company_lookup limit="10"]. In the Gutenberg block, use the sidebar Settings panel.

= Can I change the placeholder text? =

Yes: [company_lookup placeholder="Find your company..."].

= Where does the data come from? =

The data is aggregated from over 30 official government registries across Europe and beyond, totaling 250M+ company records.

= Is this GDPR compliant? =

The plugin only transmits the search query to the API. No personal data is stored or shared. All company data is sourced from public business registries.
