# Kernel API

> Resolve company identities, map corporate parentage, and enrich firmographic data with a simple async API

Resolve company identities with a stable, canonical entity ID, map parent and top-parent relationships in corporate hierarchies, and enrich entities with firmographic data. The Kernel API matches messy, inconsistent company names and attributes to a single entity using agentic identity resolution.
