Ideal customer profile

Vendor's own claim

Venture and corporate VC teams sourcing deals, private equity firms tracking acquisition targets, recruiters mapping talent, and B2B sales teams identifying accounts - the four use cases the vendor names directly in its own API introduction.

Who should look elsewhere

Our read

API access is explicitly approval-based with no self-serve signup ("Request an API key via the API Console; approvals are typically granted within one business day"), so teams wanting to self-serve straight into the API cannot.
