Contact data API for data validation products

Forager is a B2B data API and data feed for people, companies and jobs, covering 800M+ people and 65M+ companies. Data validation products use person enrichment, mobile numbers, personal emails and reverse email lookup most, by API or data feed. Products like yours are judged on valid finds per dollar, so every result is about reaching the right person.

Resolve the number with POST /person_detail_reverse_lookup/by_phone_number/. If mismatched, fetch a current number from POST /person_contacts_lookup/phone_numbers/.

Every product draws on one credit balance. Person enrichment: 1 credit per request, charged whether or not data comes back. Mobile numbers: 15 credits per mobile number found, and a mobile number lookup that finds nothing costs 0 credits. Growth's 8,250 monthly credits cover 550 mobiles, 1,650 emails or 8,250 person enrichments, or a mix. Self-serve plans are Starter, Growth, Pro and Scale. See plans and prices

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.

Look up each contact with POST /person_detail_lookup/ (linkedin_public_identifier). For people who moved, request the new address via /person_contacts_lookup/work_emails/ (linkedin_public_identifier).

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.

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.

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.

For mismatches with a LinkedIn URL, fetch the right address with POST /person_contacts_lookup/personal_emails/ and read validation_status. Send confirmed results back with POST /feedback/personal_emails/ (email, contact_status, is_correct_person).

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.

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.
