Introducing Prospector Spreadsheets Learn more
Welcome to the NinjaPear blog, where we will chronicle our journey in building the world's largest first-party B2B data platform.
You can now pull all of NinjaPear's data through the Prospector Spreadsheets without running any code. Here is a quick demo of how it works: I designed and built the NinjaPear Prospector because it bothered me that most NinjaPear users are API users. Surely there are people who
I pushed a huge NinjaPear update yesterday, and it has four parts to it. I will talk about two items in this update for the first part that will immediately affect your use of NinjaPear: caching and rate limits. Rate Limits Let's start with the bad news first.
LinkedIn people search still works when the query is simple and specific. In this guide, I’m going to show you the five search workflows that still hold up: search by name, name plus company, name plus location, role plus company, and role plus location. I’ll also show you
I am the founder of Proxycurl, and if you do not know it yet, I have shut Proxycurl down and NinjaPear is what comes after Proxycurl. If you are searching for proxycurl api in 2026, the practical question is not whether it still works. It does not. The practical question
If you searched for data enrichment api, you probably want a ranked answer, not a definition. You want to know which API is worth wiring into your system, what it costs, where the data goes stale, and which products create extra implementation work later. My answer is NinjaPear. Not because
If you searched for Crunchbase API, the main thing to understand is simple: Crunchbase Basic is not the full Crunchbase API. Basic gives you 3 endpoints. Full API access requires an Enterprise or Applications license. I also included a public GitHub repo in this guide so you can clone the
Website Lookup Endpoint I'm happy to introduce a new Website Lookup Endpoint, which takes a company name and returns its website. We also know that there are companies which are similarly named, so you can further refine the search with a hint and a country to find the
I am happy to introduce to you today a new NinjaPear API Endpoint—the Work Email Endpoint. The Work Email Endpoint takes in a person's name and the company where they work, for which a work email is returned on a best-effort basis. This API Endpoint takes special
If you're asking is scraping LinkedIn legal in 2026, here's the short answer: public scraping is not automatically criminal after hiQ, but building a business on LinkedIn data is still not safe. Those are different statements. I learned that the expensive way. I was sued by
A customer sought out recommendations for his problem: “I have been experimenting with NinjaPear using my AI agents to find investors and leads for my company.” In this article, I’m going to show you how to build a full agentic lead generation system with PydanticAI, NinjaPear, and a small
Most lead generation content is useless if you need to actually build the thing. A customer sought out recommendations for his problem: “I have been experimenting with NinjaPear using my AI agents to find investors and leads for my company.” In this guide, I’m going to show you how
If you searched true people search because you want the fast answer, here it is: yes, it works for quick lookups, and no, I would not trust it for anything important. The useful part is real. The privacy tradeoff is real too. r/privacy u/rockhardpebble0 · ▲ 28 No idea how
Most competitor research tools lists are useless because they mash five different jobs into one fake category. If you only need keyword overlap, buy an SEO tool. If you need ongoing monitoring, buy a monitor. If you need account-level company intelligence, buy something built for company data. The expensive mistake
Most of the support requests I receive via email are API integration problems that arise due to users' use of (mostly) Claude. This is why I'm happy to share that I have added NinjaPear API documentation for LLM agents and a NinjaPear skill for AI agents. If
I’ve signed the software bill before. That changes how you look at tools like Visualping. Here’s the short version: Visualping is good at watching pages. I’d use it for pricing pages, job boards, docs, policy pages, and some gated portals. I would not use it as my
If I were buying a business intelligence platform in 2026, I’d start here: Power BI is still the safest default, Tableau is still best at visual analysis, Looker is still only worth it if you already have a real data team, Qlik is better than its market buzz, Sigma
If you want the blunt answer, here it is: TruePeopleSearch is the best free-first way to lookup a person by basic consumer data, Social Catfish is better when you're trying to verify whether someone is real, Searchbug is better when you need denser public-record style detail, Whitepages is
If you are picking a company logo api, the hard part is not finding one. The hard part is avoiding the wrong kind of “free”. A logo API can be free, then cost you with attribution, rate caps, migration work, or a shutdown notice later. r/microsaas u/danest · ▲ 1
I spent $387 on reverse email lookup tools because the old buying logic is dead. If you need reverse email lookup for B2B work emails, NinjaPear Person Profile Endpoint is the best option I found. But that only makes sense if your job is actually B2B work-email enrichment. If you
Recently, a customer reached out to ask if we could help with the following use case: we would provide a small input set (say, 5 email addresses) and expect the system to return a larger set (e.g., 50) of similar profiles with enriched data. I'm happy to

We are on a consistent and relentless march towards being the ultimate ethically sourced data provider of company and competitive intelligence. Today, I am happy to introduce to
I'm happy to share that the Competitor Listing Endpoint, under the Competitor API, is now generally available! The Competitor Listing Endpoint takes a target company's website and returns a list of competitors by their corresponding website URLs. In other words, we have taken what used to
I'm happy to share that the Company Monitor and the Updates API which powers the Company Monitor are now generally available on NinjaPear. Company Monitor (and the Updates API) takes a set of websites, tracks them, and provides you with updates from their blog posts, their social media
