API V4 – Search by EIN

The /v4/search/ein/ endpoint lets you load the list of carriers that have been associated with any particular EIN.

The key distinction between this endpoint and /v4/search/dot/ is that this endpoint returns a list of carriers, not an in-depth profile, even if only one carrier matches to the EIN.
