Avalara documentation regarding Filtering in AvaTax REST can be found here: https://developer.avalara.com/avatax/filtering-in-rest/

An example of the request you are trying to build would be:

https://sandbox-rest.avatax.com/**api/v2/companies**?$filter=companyCode="*{your company code}*"

Sample Response:

[{
    "id": 26903,
    "accountId": 11000123456,

    "companyCode": "MyCompanyCode",
    "name": "MyCompanyName",
    "isDefault": false,
