How to test it
Test people search on your own sample
Pull a sample. Take profiles your users looked up last week.
Run it. Use a self-serve key, or book a demo and send us the list.
Measure what your users feel. Connect rate for mobiles, bounces for emails, and whether the right person answers.
How do data marketplaces use Forager people search?
⌄
Package one-off lists (e.g. 'dental clinic owners in Texas') for buyers who don't want a subscription. Find the people who hold a role at target companies, filtered by title, seniority, department and location.
What does people search cost for data marketplaces?
⌄
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 data marketplaces add people search?
⌄
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 people search returns for your users before you build on it.
Where can I buy a one-time list of contacts in a niche industry?
⌄
The workflow uses Forager People data feed, People search and Company data feed. People data feed: A licensed file of 800M+ professional profiles, refreshed on a schedule and delivered to Snowflake or S3. Package one-off lists (e.g. 'dental clinic owners in Texas') for buyers who don't want a subscription.
What inputs does it take and what does it return?
⌄
You send audience spec and feeds. You get back custom dataset, field list and record count, from POST /person_role_search/, as JSON.
Can our users see Forager data in 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.
Can data marketplaces test people search for free?
⌄
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 data marketplaces build custom B2B audience lists?
⌄
Translate the request into people_feed / company_feed filters or POST /person_role_search/ queries. Size with /totals/ endpoints and quote.
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.
Where can I use Forager people search?
⌄
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.
