Description

hey hn, i’ve been working on an api to make it easy to know who your customers are, i would love your feedback.what it doessend an email address, the api returns a json profile built from public data, things like: name, country, age, occupation, company, social handles and interests.It’s a single endpoint (you can hit this endpoint without auth to get a demo of what it looks like): curl https://api.yolodex.ai/api/v1/email-enrichment \ --request POST \ --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \ --data '{"email": "[email protected]"}' everyone gets 100 free, pricing is per _enriched profile_: 1 email ~ $0.03, but if i don’t find anything i wont charge you.why i built it / what’s differenti once built open source intelligence tooling to investigate financial crime but for a recent project i needed to find out more about some customers, i tried apollo, clearbit, lusha, clay, etc but i found:1. outdated data - the data about was out-of-date and misleading, emails didn’t work, etc2. dubious data - i found lots of data like personal mobile numbers that i’m pretty sure no-one shared publicly or knowingly opted into being sold on3. aggressive pricing - monthly/annual commitments, large gaps between plans, pay the same for empty profiles4. painful setup - hard to find the right api, set it up, test it out etci used knowledge from criminal investigations to build an api that uses some of the same research patterns and entity resolution to find standardized information about people that is:1. real-time2. public info only (osint)3. transparent simple pricing4. 1 min to setupwhat i’d love feedback on* speed: are responses fast enough? would you trade-off speed for better data coverage?* coverage: which fields will you use (or others you need)?* pricing: is the pricing model sane?* use-cases: what you need this type data for (i.e. example use cases)?* accuracy: any examples where i got it badly wrong?happy to answer technical questions in the thread and give more free credits to help anyone test
