FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do ABM, intent and visitor-ID tools use Forager people search?

Go from a company-level website visit to the right persona with email and mobile. Find the people who hold a role at target companies, filtered by title, seniority, department and location. This page walks through 3 workflows with the exact steps.

What does people search cost for ABM, intent and visitor-ID tools?

People search: people search 1 credit per request and people search: role details 1 credit per request, charged whether or not data comes back. 1,000 search requests use 1,000 credits: about $13 of Starter credits month to month, or about $10 on Pro with yearly billing. Self-serve plans are Starter, Growth, Pro and Scale. See plans and prices

Why do ABM, intent and visitor-ID tools add people search?

Turn account intent into a person you can call. Products like yours are judged on connect rate and cost per valid result, which is why the cost that counts is per result that reaches the right person. Run your own sample to see what people search returns for your users before you build on it.

How do I enrich website visitors with contact info?

Receive the visiting company domain (and person email if resolved) from the visitor-ID layer. Add work_email and mobile via /work_emails/ and POST /person_contacts_lookup/phone_numbers/.

What do I send, and what comes back?

You send persona titles, account list and ICP description. You get back work_email, role_title, phone_number and organization, from POST /person_role_search/, as JSON.

Can we show Forager data inside our product?

Yes, under platform terms. Self-serve plans cover internal use by your own team. Showing Forager data to your users, or passing records on, is licensed separately: talk to sales about volume and which fields your users need to see.

Am I charged when nothing is found?

Yes. People search 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 build ABM audience of decision makers?

Filter the people feed by organization (company_feed join) and role_title patterns. Create audience segments by role and seniority.

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.

How is a people search API different from searching profiles by hand?

Searching by hand works for a handful of accounts. A people search API filters by title, seniority, department and location across your target companies in one request, returns people your product can act on, and hands off to a contact lookup for the mobile or email.

Does Forager integrate with the tools we already use?

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