Run following query in wikidata sparql endpoint

SELECT DISTINCT 
?wdindustryLabel 
?wdcompanyName 
?wdcountryLabel 
(SAMPLE(?wdemployee) AS ?wdemployee) 
(SAMPLE(?wdfounded) AS ?wdfounded) 
(SAMPLE(?wdofficial_website) AS ?wdofficial_website) 
WHERE {
  ?wdcompany wdt:P31 ?type;
    rdfs:label ?wdcompanyName.
  OPTIONAL {
    ?wdcompany wdt:P452 ?wdindustry;
      wdt:P1128 ?wdemployee;
      wdt:P571 ?wdfounded;
      wdt:P17 ?wdcountry;
      wdt:P856 ?wdofficial_website.
  }
  FILTER(LANGMATCHES(LANG(?wdcompanyName), "EN"))
  VALUES ?type {
    wd:Q6881511
    wd:Q43229
  }
  VALUES ?wdcompanyName {
    "Apple Inc."@en
  }
  SERVICE wikibase:label { bd:serviceParam wikibase:language "[AUTO_LANGUAGE],en". }
}
GROUP BY ?wdcompanyName ?wdindustryLabel ?wdcountryLabel
ORDER BY (?wdcompanyName)

enter image description here

or use following code:

# pip install sparqlwrapper
# https://rdflib.github.io/sparqlwrapper/

import sys
from SPARQLWrapper import SPARQLWrapper, JSON

endpoint_url = "https://query.wikidata.org/sparql"

query = """SELECT DISTINCT ?wdindustryLabel ?wdcompanyName ?wdcountryLabel (SAMPLE(?wdemployee) AS ?wdemployee) (SAMPLE(?wdfounded) AS ?wdfounded) (SAMPLE(?wdofficial_website) AS ?wdofficial_website) WHERE {
  ?wdcompany wdt:P31 ?type;
    rdfs:label ?wdcompanyName.
  OPTIONAL {
    ?wdcompany wdt:P452 ?wdindustry;
      wdt:P1128 ?wdemployee;
      wdt:P571 ?wdfounded;
      wdt:P17 ?wdcountry;
      wdt:P856 ?wdofficial_website.
  }
  FILTER(LANGMATCHES(LANG(?wdcompanyName), "EN"))
  VALUES ?type {
    wd:Q6881511
    wd:Q43229
  }
  VALUES ?wdcompanyName {
    'Apple Inc.'@en
  }
  SERVICE wikibase:label { bd:serviceParam wikibase:language "[AUTO_LANGUAGE],en". }
}
GROUP BY ?wdcompanyName ?wdindustryLabel ?wdcountryLabel
Order By ?wdcompanyName"""


def get_results(endpoint_url, query):
    user_agent = "WDQS-example Python/%s.%s" % (sys.version_info[0], sys.version_info[1])
    # TODO adjust user agent; see https://w.wiki/CX6
    sparql = SPARQLWrapper(endpoint_url, agent=user_agent)
    sparql.setQuery(query)
    sparql.setReturnFormat(JSON)
    return sparql.query().convert()


results = get_results(endpoint_url, query)

for result in results["results"]["bindings"]:
    print(result)

You are looking for the Google knowledge graph API. The info on the box to the right is pulled from the Google Knowledge Graph for the top result.

You can get the information you need for an Organization entity:

An organization such as a school, NGO, corporation, club, etc.

Example properties of an Organization include legalName, logo, foundingDate

For example, here is a simple query I used for Facebook:

https://kgsearch.googleapis.com/v1/entities:search?query=Facebook&key=<YOUR_API_KEY_HERE>&indent=True

And here is the result I got in return:

{
      "@type": "EntitySearchResult",
      "result": {
        "@id": "kg:/m/0hmyfsv",
        "name": "Facebook, Inc.",
        "@type": [
          "Corporation",
          "Organization",
          "Thing"
        ],
        "description": "Social network company",
        "image": {
          "contentUrl": "http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTjO7_7_DBuI3EpMBdVTACYT2WDkwKGrBic0JYSGtIt1c_0oMK9",
          "url": "https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:F_icon.svg"
        },
        "url": "https://www.facebook.com/"
      },
      "resultScore": 32.638672
    }

BTW, for some reason, Facebook was the second on the list of results after Youtube

Update

Looks like, at the moment, the API does not provide a way to control which properties to be returned in the results, and not all properties are included in the response by default. There is a question here about how to get that done

From the API reference, the accepted request paramaters are:

  • query (e.g. query=Facebook)
  • ids (e.g. ids=/m/0hmyfsv)
  • languages (e.g. languages=en)
  • types (e.g. types=Corporation)
  • indent (e.g. indent=true)
  • limit (e.g. limit=2)

And the response parameters are: @id, name,@type, description, image detailedDescription (if available), and resultScore

The information you are looking for are actually available in the Wikipedia page included in the URL provided as part of the detailedDescription property, so you may want to consider using the Wikidata API instead
