## Step 1. Contract with commercial data provider

The customer needs to have a valid contract with D&B for the desired product.

These are the names of the D&B products:

* **["DNB"](https://directplus.documentation.dnb.com/openAPI.html?apiID=cmpelkv2)**
* **["DNB_LNKELI"](https://directplus.documentation.dnb.com/openAPI.html?apiID=lnkeli)**

* **["DNB_MASTER_DATA_EXTENDED"](https://directplus.documentation.dnb.com/DataBlocks.html?apiID=dataBlocks&blockIDs=companyinfo_L1_v1,companyinfo_L2_v1)**


## Step 2. D&B Storage
