Yolodex’s Email Enrichment API offers a real-time solution for augmenting customer profiles through the research and collection of publicly available demographic, professional, and social data. The core functionality centers around submitting an email address to the API, which then undertakes research to generate a more comprehensive customer profile. This service is designed to be remarkably simple, requiring only the email address as input. The platform’s value proposition rests on several key features, beginning with real-time data acquisition, providing access to current information, and a user-friendly interface that necessitates minimal operational complexity, essentially just sending an email address. Transparency in pricing is another cornerstone, allowing users to pay only for the enriched data they require, which is structured around a credit-based system. The pricing model is tiered, offering a free tier with limited usage (100 enriched emails), and then scaling up based on the number of enriched fields requested. A detailed breakdown of the pricing illustrates the cost at $0.028 per credit for the first 1,000 enriched emails, increasing to $0.03 for the next 1,000 emails, and so on, reflecting the operational costs associated with the service. The API itself is accessible through various programming languages, including cURL, Python, JavaScript, Node.js, Ruby, and PHP, demonstrating a commitment to broad accessibility. The underlying architecture is designed for scale, evidenced by the platform’s history of servicing financial criminals, suggesting a robust and high-performance infrastructure. Data coverage varies depending on the availability of public information, but the reported average field coverage highlights key data points. Specifically, the platform boasts a 99% coverage rate for name identification, 99% for entity type identification, 94% for gender determination, and 94% for the source of gender information. Age data has a coverage of 76%, country information at 67%, occupation data at 22%, company-related data at 19%, city information at 18%, and state data at 15%. Additional data points, though with considerably lower coverage rates, include Instagram handles (6%), LinkedIn handles (5%), university information (4%), TikTok handles (3%), and interests (2), categorized into 2 categories. Finally, the platform covers LinkedIn follower counts (1%) and TikTok follower counts (1%). Beyond the core enrichment service, Yolodex is developing several forthcoming features. A "deep search" option promises increased field coverage and more detailed data through a more intensive and consequently more costly search process. The “person search” feature allows users to search by name, location, and/or company—rather than solely relying on the email address. Furthermore, the platform is exploring integration with GitHub profiles to leverage information about stargazers and a “company search” option that provides insights into company size, revenue, funding, industry, founders, and other relevant details based on company name or website. Finally, a “person at company search” feature will enable users to identify specific individuals within a company based on their role and the company itself. The platform provides access to documentation, API keys, statistics, logs, a company overview, terms of service, a privacy policy, security information, an opt-out option, and support contact information. Yolodex, Inc., based in San Francisco, California, is the developer of this service, and the entire operation is protected by a comprehensive suite of security measures and adheres to strict privacy protocols. |
