FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do lead databases use Forager person enrichment?

Let vertical SaaS reps reach the owner of a salon, restaurant or pool-service business directly instead of the front desk. 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 lead databases?

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 lead databases add person enrichment?

Power your lead database without maintaining scrapers. Products like yours are judged on connect rate and cost per valid result, 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 do I find small business owner cell phone numbers?

Resolve the owner from the business record (name + domain) with POST /person_role_search/ (role_title owner/founder, organization_domains). Get the owner's mobile from POST /person_contacts_lookup/phone_numbers/ (Silver for maximum reach).

What do I send, and what comes back?

You send LinkedIn identifiers, account list and LinkedIn URL. You get back phone_number, work_email, role_title and organization, 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 build company org charts from employee data?

Ingest people_feed and company_feed and key people to accounts by current employer. Infer department and seniority from role_title and build function trees per account.

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 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.
