Choosing an industry

The create-company endpoint classifies a company by NAICS through the industry field. Each value maps to a single classification, so what you send is precisely what the company is filed as. Source the value from List NAICS codes: pick an entry and send its industry label verbatim on the create-company request. Treat the reference list as the source of truth rather than hard-coding labels.

{
  "doolaCustomerId": "31pLCw7sN2aQ9fJkRtY3vXbHmLe",
  "state": "WY",
  "...": "...",
  "industry": "Custom Computer Programming Services"
}

The create response and Get a company echo the resolved industry, so you can confirm the classification that was persisted.

Errors

industry is required, and a blank string counts as absent. Failures come back in the standard validation envelope; branch on error.fields.industry.code.
