FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do contact-data vendors use Forager person enrichment?

Raise mobile and contact coverage inside a contact-data product by blending a complementary source behind existing data. A full professional profile for a person from a LinkedIn URL, email or phone: experience, education, skills and contact channels. This page walks through 3 workflows with the exact steps.

What does person enrichment cost for contact-data vendors?

Person enrichment: 1 credit per request, charged whether or not data comes back. 1,000 person enrichments 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 contact-data vendors add person enrichment?

Add a mobile source without adding wrong-person numbers. Products like yours are judged on valid finds per dollar, which is why the cost that counts is per result that reaches the right person. Run your own sample to see what person enrichment returns for your users before you build on it.

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 do I send, and what comes back?

You send profile URL, name + company domain and candidate profile URL. You get back personal_email, phone_number, tier and match (bool), from POST /person_detail_lookup/, 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. 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.

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 can I fill in missing emails and phone numbers for a spreadsheet of contacts?

Fill work_email, personal_email and mobile via person_contacts_lookup endpoints. Return the CSV with fill status per field and credits used.

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 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.

Does Forager integrate with the tools we already use?

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.
