Hunter is a B2B contact-discovery and outreach platform built around a large index of publicly available professional email addresses.
Sales, growth, and lead-gen teams doing B2B outreach who need to find and verify contact emails at a company before or during a campaign; Hunter names Canva, Semrush, and Vimeo as customers.
The Free plan gives only 50 credits/month, which covers a handful of lookups, not a working prospecting workflow; a usable volume starts at the $49/mo (or $34/mo annual) Starter plan and scales to $299/mo for 25,000 credits. Teams that need bulk data access rather than a seat-based outreach tool are pushed into a separate 'Data Platform' bulk-credit package (e.g. $6,500 for 1,000 search + 200,000 verification credits) priced and sold outside the standard plan ladder. Buyers who specifically want an OpenAPI-documented, spec-driven integration will not find a published machine-readable spec on Hunter's own docs.
Providers that resolve a person or company to verified contact data — email, phone, firmographics — through an API or a bulk upload.
Category: Contact and company enrichment. Membership is decided by 3 stated tests, not by category tags — see them and the full comparison.

No machine-readable OpenAPI/Swagger file was found linked from Hunter's own API documentation page; the docs are prose-and-example based.
Yes.
Yes, a Free plan with 50 credits/month, unlimited team members, and 1 connected email account, though the credit allowance is too small for sustained prospecting.
Per-workspace monthly or annual subscription tiered by credits: Free ($0, 50 credits), Starter ($49/mo or $34/mo annual, 2,000 credits), Growth ($149/mo or $104/mo annual, 10,000 credits), Scale ($299/mo or $209/mo annual, 25,000 credits), and custom-priced Enterprise. A separate bulk-credit Data Platform package (e.g. $6,500 for 1,000 search + 200,000 verification credits) is sold outside this ladder for API-heavy use.
An API key, which can be supplied as the api_key query parameter, an X-API-KEY header, or an Authorization: Bearer header.
Limits are set per endpoint rather than account-wide: Discover is limited to 5 requests/second (50/minute); Domain Search, Email Finder, and Email Enrichment to 15 requests/second (500/minute); Email Verifier to 10 requests/second (300/minute); Email Count to 15 requests/second.
