What is an API?

APIs (or Application Program Interface) allow you to integrate our search tools directly into your website, program or mobile application. APIs can be used to locate and verify data and to find contact information in real-time. You can read more about our Searchbug APIs here.

API pricing is based upon monthly volume. Quite simply, the more queries you run in a given month, the cheaper the queries get. You can utilize our pricing calculators, located at the links below, to determine costs based upon your anticipated monthly volume.
