NinjaPear Gets Remarkably More Boring

Happy 250th, USA!

As I get older, I tend to prefer the boring over the exciting. I'm happy to share that NinjaPear is even more boring today because we have nothing new to announce, just boring optimizations.

  1. NinjaPear is now boringly faster. The Company Details Endpoint and the Person Profile Endpoint have improved 20% in live enrichment speed, to an average of 8s per API call. For comparison, similar API endpoints when I was running Proxycurl, which scraped LinkedIn, took an average of 6s.
  2. Our Person Profile Endpoint now returns richer data. We now return richer role descriptions for each work history entry, on top of more social media URLs.
  3. The Company Funding Endpoint now returns local currency for companies funded in non-USD denominations.

Sorry for being boring. To me, boring is good. I hope it is for you too.

Oh also, I've started to write a lot more about my journey in building NinjaPear and getting to 1M ARR. Follow me on X @nubela to stay abreast of my writings and chat with me, or just hit reply and ask me anything!
