Financial / equity research tools are judged on freshness and fields
A contact that reaches the wrong person, or nobody, is a failure your users see in your product, not ours.
- Does it connect? A number that is dead or disconnected wastes the call.
- Does the name match? A live number for someone else is worse than none.
- Is it the profile you asked about? Not a namesake, not a former owner of the number.

Questions financial research teams ask
What does Forager offer financial research?
Forager is a B2B data API and data feed for people, companies and jobs, covering 800M+ people and 65M+ companies. Financial research use company data feed, job postings feed, company enrichment and job postings API most, by API or data feed. Products like yours are judged on freshness and fields, so every result is about reaching the right person.
How do investors use employee movement data?
Load people_feed and company_feed and link roles to companies on forager_organization_id = forager_id. Count roles starting and ending per company per month from start_date and end_date.
How does Forager pricing work for financial research?
Every product draws on one credit balance. Company enrichment: 1 credit per request, charged whether or not data comes back. Job postings API: 2 credits per request, charged whether or not data comes back. Growth's 8,250 monthly credits cover 8,250 company lookups, or a mix. Self-serve plans are Starter, Growth, Pro and Scale. See plans and prices
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.
How do investment teams use job postings as alternative data?
Load job_postings_feed deliveries into the warehouse and join to company_feed on organization_forager_id = forager_id. Aggregate postings per company per week using date_featured, is_active, title and parsed_location.
Is there a free way to try Forager?
Yes. Request a sample extract of the company data feed on a 30-minute call and check the fields against your own records before you license it.
Which Forager products do financial research use most?
Company data feed (3 recipes), job postings feed (2 recipes), company enrichment (1 recipe) and job postings API (1 recipe), counted across the recipes on this page. Every product draws on one credit balance, so you can mix them on one plan.
How accurate is Forager data?
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.
Does Forager integrate with the tools we already use?
Native in Clay, partner-built in Deepline and Cargo, delivered as a data share to Snowflake, Databricks and Amazon S3 and called through the API from Google BigQuery, Make, n8n and your own code. Everything else connects through the REST API with one API key.
What company data do B2B lenders use to assess applicants?
Give a B2B lender, payments or spend-management company company-level features (age, headcount, funding, web traffic, hiring) to use next to its own risk data when it reviews a business applicant. Risk teams see whether a business is real, operating and growing before they decide, alongside their own data.
Is there a contract or minimum commitment?
No contract to start: a free account comes with $5 in credits. To keep using Forager, 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.
Should financial research call the API or license a data feed?
Call the API when your product needs one person or company at a time, when a user opens a record or an agent asks. License a feed when you need whole layers (people, companies or job postings) in your own warehouse or index. Contact fields (mobiles and emails) stay in the API, paid per result found.
