You send company domain, name + company and natural-language app prompt. You get back company, person, phone_number and work_email, as JSON. You also need a Forager API key, which comes with a free account.
How do I add B2B contact enrichment to an app I built with an AI coding tool?
When generated code needs contacts, call /person_contacts_lookup/work_emails/ and POST /person_contacts_lookup/phone_numbers/ through the platform's metered key. For card or badge capture apps, OCR the name and company and resolve the person with POST /person_detail_lookup/.
Is there a free way to try Forager on this workflow?
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.
When should I run this workflow?
When a user prompts the app builder for a CRM, lead-gen or networking app that needs real people and company data. Builders ship data-backed apps in days instead of wiring vendors themselves.
Which Forager products does this recipe use?
People search, person enrichment, company enrichment, work emails and mobile numbers. People search: find the people who hold a role at target companies, filtered by title, seniority, department and location. Person enrichment: a full professional profile for a person from a LinkedIn URL, email or phone: experience, education, skills and contact channels.
How accurate is Forager data?
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 do I add contact enrichment to a vibe coded app?
When generated code needs contacts, call /person_contacts_lookup/work_emails/ and POST /person_contacts_lookup/phone_numbers/ through the platform's metered key. For card or badge capture apps, OCR the name and company and resolve the person with POST /person_detail_lookup/.
Which tools can run this workflow?
Native in Clay and Zapier, partner-built in Deepline and Cargo and called through the API from your own code, Make and n8n. Or call the endpoints in the steps above from your own code with one API key.
How many steps is this workflow?
4 steps: register an integration that wraps POST /person_role_search/, POST /person_detail_lookup/ and POST /organization_search/ with typed schemas, when generated code needs contacts, call /person_contacts_lookup/work_emails/ and POST /person_contacts_lookup/phone_numbers/ through the platform's metered key, for card or badge capture apps, OCR the name and company and resolve the person with POST /person_detail_lookup/ and bill builders in platform credits and show credits used per call.
Is there a contract or minimum commitment?
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.
