Let’s start with the most important part. The market for company data is a very profitable industry, and there are many paid APIs available for sale.
But do you know how the market is working and how many types of people need this kind of information? Because we are sure that the majority of people don’t know about it.
One of these groups is marketing departments that need to enrich their databases with a lot of information about companies. This information can be used to improve your marketing strategies, optimize your campaigns and make personalized offers to your leads.
Another group is research companies and analysts who need this kind of information to do market surveys, product analysis, and business strategy development. And the third one is investors who use that information to decide what companies they want to invest in or sell their shares in a company.
That’s why we are proposing you three options: paid, free but limited or a mix of both to enrich your database.
Paid Options: You can buy databases at some price or invest in services like Factual that have paid plans with rich corporate data. These options are expensive and many times out of reach for startups or small budgets.
Free but limited: There are some options like Get Phone Number API that provide users with the opportunity to verify the details of a company by entering the domain name or phone number. However, this information will not necessarily be real and accurate because it is difficult to maintain such a large database with so much detail manually.
Mix: So, for you, we propose a mix option of free and paid API but with a better precision than the free ones, so you can enrich your databases with accurate company data.
Enrichment APIs usually require users to enter a URL link to access relevant information on companies, but there are other ways to use it without having to have access to those URLs. For example, by entering the domain name or phone number directly.
The Phone Number Validator API is available in an online form or API and has no restrictions on the number of requests that can be made per month.
What these types of APIs do is collect data from public registries and databases, clean it up, standardize it and store it in their databases to make it available for customers. It’s not rocket science but it works!
