FAQ

Which B2B data providers workflows use person enrichment?

Back a sales-intelligence database with an additional mobile source, add a phone-validation layer to a contact-data product and fill missing emails and mobiles in user-uploaded CSVs. Each is on this page with its trigger, steps and outcome.

How do I license mobile phone data for resale?

Send records lacking a mobile to POST /person_contacts_lookup/phone_numbers/ in bulk. Cross-validate returned numbers against the vendor's existing records.

What inputs does it take and what does it return?

You send profile URL, name + company domain and company domain. You get back personal_email, phone_number, tier and work_email, from POST /person_detail_lookup/, as JSON.

Am I charged when nothing is found?

Yes. Person enrichment 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.

Can B2B data providers test person enrichment for free?

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 can I check that a phone number still belongs to the right person?

Resolve the number with POST /person_detail_reverse_lookup/by_phone_number/. If mismatched, fetch a current number from POST /person_contacts_lookup/phone_numbers/.

How do I know the data is right?

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.

How is person enrichment different from scraping profiles myself?

Scraping means running and repairing your own collection pipeline and deciding what to do when a page changes. Person enrichment returns a structured profile (experience, education, skills and contact channels) from one API call, from data Forager licenses and maintains.

Where can I use Forager person enrichment?

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

Do I need a subscription?

Not to test: a free account comes with $5 in credits. To keep using person enrichment, 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.
