How to get the API key
You can always access your API key from the Home page.
To copy it, click the copy icon in the API keys section. In your account settings, you can also regenerate, add, or delete API keys.
API playgrounds
Playgrounds offer an easy way to explore and test APIs with step-by-step guidance. They provide instructions on data search, download, and enrichment, making integration and onboarding easier. You can also generate queries directly within the playgrounds.
Playground AI query builder
This feature is integrated in every playground. It makes it easy to build Elasticsearch (ES)-powered queries specifically designed for our data APIs with simple prompts.

Instead of writing queries yourself, enter a simple prompt like “Find backend developers in Austin with remote work preference.” You can also choose from suggested templates.
The tool returns:
- Complete Search and Collect requests
- A list of IDs of records that match the search parameters
- A sample record for reference
Both the query and prompt can be modified.

Company data enrichment API playground
The Company Enrichment API Playground connects to the Multi-Source Company Dataset and provides instructions for enriching data via API. It shows how to format queries in various programming languages and what the enriched output includes.
You can also use this playground to quickly enrich and download detailed data on one or a few companies using basic identifiers.

Other no-code tools on self-service platform
If you don't plan to use APIs bus still want to access our data, you can always explore our no code tools Company Enricher and AI Data Search.
Company Enricher
Company Enricher lets you enrich company data with key information using CSV files and basic identifiers.
1. Upload a CSV file
To begin enrichment, upload a CSV file with up to 1,000 rows that include company identifiers (emails or website domains). You can download a sample file if needed.
Once uploaded, we will scan and map your file. If multiple columns contain company identifiers, you’ll be asked to choose which one to use.
2. Confirm your request
After submitting the file, you’ll see a summary showing how many rows were scanned, how many can be enriched based on your identifiers, and the credit cost.
Once confirmed, you’ll be able to download the enriched CSV file. It will include your original identifiers along with additional fields:
- Name
- Headquarters location
- Company size
- Employee count
- Industry
- Company profile URL
If you need access to more data fields, consider using the API directly instead of the automated Company Enricher feature. The API provides full company data records.
AI Data Search
In 2025, we launched a new tool for both technical and non-tech people so they can easily explore and get the right data for analysis. AI Data Search lets you navigate all our databases in plain English. It’s a fast and easy way to find and download business, employee, or job records data, no coding required.
You can click on the buttons for pre-made prompts to find leads, analyze talent, or take a closer look at potential investments.
The AI Data Search is context-aware and will explain its logic. It will ask clarifying questions, offer suggestions for improvement, and provide alternatives for your search as well.
How to use it?
- Type in your inquiry or choose one of the prompts
- Refine your search if needed
- Download the full custom dataset
- Access your private conversation history or file history (keep in mind that it will be available for 30 days).
