Overview

Lusha’s API makes it easy to automatically update any database, system or app with accurate B2B contact and company data. Set up your API to enrich and regularly update the data to ensure that it stays relevant.

API integration on Lusha

💡Only an admin/manager can access the API key.

In order to get your API key from Lusha, please visit the API page on your Lusha dashboard. Please remember Your API key is private. Make sure you only share it with people you trust.

Prospecting API

With Lusha’s Prospecting API, you can query Lusha’s database based on specific criteria (job title, seniority, location, and more), and receive the rest of the contact information with his connect information.

Prospecting API helps to increase your net new records (contacts/leads), either for your existing CRM accounts or for new accounts, based on your ICP filters.

The process for retrieving contact information includes 3 main stages:

  1. Select and apply the filters you would like to use.

  2. Search relevant contacts.

  3. Enrich contacts by revealing contacts full details.

To gain a better understanding of the Prospecting API, please refer to this link, as we will provide a detailed description of each stage involved in the process.

💡Note: The header of the API KEY is mandatory in every request to our service.

Why can’t the API find results?

Although we have a database of over 9 billion entries and have contact details for an exceedingly large amount of B2B professionals, if the search algorithm is not 100% positive about the results, we will not show the results- Lusha API does not show results it is uncertain about. We want to reduce false positives to improve the accuracy rate which sometimes affects the hit rate. To increase the hit rate and accuracy we recommend adding (if possible) the LinkedIn URL properly to the API request.

Social profile network links on API

We don't store social network data on our service and therefore don't support API requests that include profile URL's from any social networks.

Please visit the API documentation page to learn more about API-supported requests.

💡 Note: This feature is only available on our Scale plans.
