FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do data marketplaces use Forager mobile numbers?

Let a candidate-data aggregator return personal emails and mobiles to the recruiting platforms that call its API, filling records its other sources missed. 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.

What do mobile numbers cost for data marketplaces?

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

Why do data marketplaces add mobile numbers?

List people and company data without building it yourself. 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 mobile numbers returns for your users before you build on it.

Which API provides personal emails and phone numbers for candidates?

The workflow uses Forager Personal emails, Mobile numbers and Person enrichment. Personal emails: Personal email addresses for reaching people outside their work inbox, such as passive candidates and founders. Let a candidate-data aggregator return personal emails and mobiles to the recruiting platforms that call its API, filling records its other sources missed.

What do I send, and what comes back?

You send candidate profile URL, creator name and CSV (name, company, LinkedIn URL, email). You get back phone_number, personal_email, tier and current owner name, from POST /person_contacts_lookup/phone_numbers/, 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 contacts 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 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.

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 a B2B contact database product?

Load people_feed and company_feed into the search index. Expose filters for industry, size, title and location.

How do I know the data is right?

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.

Does Forager integrate with the tools we already use?

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.
