How to test it
Test person enrichment 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 validation products use Forager person enrichment?
⌄
Check that a stored phone number still belongs to the named person before customers dial it. 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 data validation products?
⌄
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 data validation products add person enrichment?
⌄
Check a contact against the person it belongs to. 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 can I check that a phone number still belongs to 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/.
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 do I detect job changes in a contact list?
⌄
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).
How do I know the data is right?
⌄
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.
