Owler Similar Companies API returns the companies Owler recommends as similar to a company. Each entry has the name, the slug and the Owler URL. Pass a slug to the Company endpoint for the full profile.
Owler returns the list in one call, so there is no paging. An unknown slug returns an error and is not billed.
