What is the best mobile number API for an enrichment waterfall?
⌄
The workflow uses Forager Mobile numbers. Mobile numbers: Direct mobile numbers for a person, from a LinkedIn URL or a Forager person ID, validated before they reach you. Give a waterfall or cascade product a mobile provider that returns dialable direct mobiles for people the earlier steps missed.
What inputs does it take and what does it return?
⌄
You send LinkedIn identifier, LinkedIn identifiers and LinkedIn URL. You get back phone_number, role_title, work_email and tier, from POST /person_contacts_lookup/phone_numbers/, as JSON.
Am I charged when no mobile number is found?
⌄
No. A mobile number lookup that finds nothing costs 0 credits, so you pay for mobile numbers we find. Search, enrichment and reverse lookups are the exception: they are charged per request.
Can sales-tech companies test mobile numbers 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 do parallel dialers find direct dials?
⌄
Dialer collects contacts without a mobile from the queued session list. Call POST /person_contacts_lookup/phone_numbers/ per contact with linkedin_public_identifier; Gold first for quality, Silver for maximum reach.
How do you check data quality?
⌄
Forager ranked #1 of 10 in Clay's 2026 test of mobile data providers, by quality score: Clay's measure of how likely a dialled number reaches the right person. 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 a mobile number lookup API different from a contact database?
⌄
A contact database sells access to a list, often by seat or by export. A lookup API answers one person at a time inside your product or workflow: you send the LinkedIn URL or email you already hold and get back a mobile number in one JSON response. With Forager a mobile number lookup that finds nothing costs 0 credits, so you pay for numbers, not for searches.
Where can I use Forager mobile numbers?
⌄
Native in Clay and Zapier, 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 mobile numbers, 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.
