The ideas

A CRM enrichment step

For revenue operations teams. It fills a missing work email on CRM records that already hold a LinkedIn URL. Uses reveal.

A recruiter's contact step

For recruiters with a shortlist. It gets the email or phone of each candidate so the recruiter can reach them directly. Uses reveal.

A wrong number fix flow

For any team using the data. When a number or email turns out wrong, it asks again with tryAnotherSource for that part. Uses reveal.

An event follow-up helper

For people who met others at a conference. It gets the work email of the people they met, from the handles they swapped. Uses reveal.

A partnership outreach tool

For partnership managers. It gets the work email of the partnerships lead at each company on a short list. Uses reveal.

A reviewed intro agent

For sellers using an agent. The agent finds the person, gets the email and drafts a short note that a human reads and sends. Uses reveal.

How to start

  1. Sign up. An agent registers itself with one POST and starts with $0.10 of free credit; a person can sign up on the site instead.
  2. Find the people first, for example with a LinkedIn people search, and keep the /in/ handles you saw.
  3. Quote the reveal for free with "estimateOnly": true, asking only for the part you need: email, phone or both.
  4. Run it with "maxUsd" set. A part your account already holds is free, and a part that comes back empty is not charged.

Operations used

Questions people ask.

Where should the LinkedIn handle come from?

From evidence: a people search, a search result or a pasted profile URL. A handle guessed from a name can belong to someone else and is still charged.

Is this for bulk mailing?

No. It is built for reaching people one by one about their work. Write to people whose public role fits what you offer, and respect their replies.

What does a run cost?

Each call is priced by its quote. A call can carry a minimum, so send it first with "estimateOnly": true. The quote is free and is the most the call can cost.

Can an AI agent build and run these on its own?

Yes. It signs itself up with one call and gets $0.10 free, quotes each call before it spends, and pays from a prepaid balance. "maxUsd" caps every call, and only a person can add money.

Try it in a minute. $0.10 free.

The playground runs any endpoint by hand: pick a platform and what you want from it, fill a short form named in plain words (or press Use sample input), see the free quote on the Run button, run it, then read the answer as a table or JSON and download it as CSV or JSON. The same call is written out as cURL, Python and Node while you type.

Why people pick API for Agents

  • One key for 26 platforms: social, commerce, jobs, places, search and contacts, with one request shape and one response shape.
  • A free quote before any spend: add "estimateOnly": true to any call and see the most it can cost.
  • Pay per record in US dollars. No subscription, nothing expires, top-ups from $5.
  • $0.10 free to try, no card. An AI agent can sign itself up in one request; a person claims it later.
  • Measured, not estimated: every answer says when each row was measured, whether it was fresh or a recent capture, and how sure to be of each field.
  • Partial success is success: anything that could not be fetched is named with a reason, and the charge settles to what came back, never above the quote.
  • Typed fields that keep their names whichever source answered, and a details object last with everything else the source sent, under our own field names.
  • Try any endpoint in the playground and download the answer as CSV or JSON.
