Mobile number API for staffing & recruiting

Reach CEO, CFO and VP candidates discreetly on personal channels rather than monitored work inboxes. Direct mobile numbers for a person, from a LinkedIn URL or a Forager person ID, validated before they reach you. This page walks through 3 workflows with the exact steps.

Mobile numbers: 15 credits per mobile number found, and a mobile number lookup that finds nothing costs 0 credits. That is $0.20 per mobile number on Starter month to month and $0.15 on Pro with yearly billing. Self-serve plans are Starter, Growth, Pro and Scale. See plans and prices

Raise executive-search response rates with personal email and mobile, source clinical and operations leaders for healthcare and senior-living hiring and contact a bench of temp candidates in one click via SMS and WhatsApp. Each is on this page with its trigger, steps and outcome.

Use /person_contacts_lookup/personal_emails/ as the first step of the personal-email waterfall. Add a direct mobile from POST /person_contacts_lookup/phone_numbers/ for senior candidates.

You send target companies, candidate pool and executive long-list. You get back phone_number, candidate shortlist, mobile and CSV export, from POST /person_contacts_lookup/phone_numbers/, as JSON.

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.

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.

Filter people_feed by healthcare titles (administrator, director of nursing, executive director) and location radius. Rank by tenure and facility type from work history.

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.

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.

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.

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.
