Let GTM engineers and developers build production enrichment workflows by prompting a coding agent against typed endpoints, or add a people endpoint to their own web-data API.

What do I send, and what comes back?

You send email address, API key and calendar attendee. You get back person_id, company, company summary and current employer, from POST /person_detail_reverse_lookup/by_email/, as JSON.

Am I charged when nothing is found?

Yes. Reverse email lookup is charged per request, whether or not data comes back. Only mobile and email lookups are free when nothing is found, so try your inputs on a small run before you scale.

Is there a free way to try Forager?

Yes. Create a free account at app.forager.ai: it comes with $5 in free credits and an API key, and there is no credit card to sign up. Run it on records you already know, or book a demo and send us a list: we run it and show you what we find.

How do I enrich calendar attendees with job title?

Resolve each new email address with POST /person_detail_reverse_lookup/by_email/. Pull full career history with POST /person_detail_lookup/.

How do you check data quality?

The test that counts is your own: send a list of profiles you care about. We run it and show you what we find, number by number, so you can measure hit rate and connect rate yourself.

What is the difference between a reverse email lookup and an email finder?

An email finder starts from a person and returns their email. A reverse email lookup starts from an email address, such as a sign-up or an inbound lead, and returns the person behind it: name, title, company, location and social links.

Does Forager integrate with the tools we already use?

Native in Clay, partner-built in Deepline and called through the API from Make, n8n and your own code. Everything else connects through the REST API with one API key.

Is there a contract or minimum commitment?

No contract to start: a free account comes with $5 in credits. To keep using reverse email lookup, choose a monthly or yearly plan. Monthly plans cancel anytime and unused credits roll over; yearly plans grant all credits upfront and cost 10% less. Larger volumes are agreed with our team.
