500M+ profiles indexed
73% hit rate on engineers, where others return nothing
< 2 s median SMTP verification

The index count is from PeopleDB's own index as of October 2026. The hit rate comes from lookup logs as of April 2026 and is the share of lookups on engineering profiles that returned at least one email. Verification time is the median for the SMTP endpoint.

Several providers, one record. Plus a source nobody else has.

Most enrichment tools rely on scraped org charts, and developers rarely appear there. PeopleDB also reads author addresses from public GitHub commit history and matches them to logins, surfacing contact data that never lands on a resume.

Every record is joined on shared identifiers, so one lookup returns one deduplicated contact, not three overlapping ones.

Questions

Where does the data come from?

Multiple upstream data providers plus our own index of public GitHub activity. Git commits carry an author email; we link those addresses to GitHub logins and cross-reference them with every other record we hold for the person.

What if you can't find someone?

You aren't charged. A lookup only costs a credit when it returns at least one email address.

Do credits expire?

No. Buy a pack today and use it whenever you like. There are no seats and nothing recurring.

Can I try it without a card?

Yes. Every new account starts with 10 free credits, and your API key is ready as soon as you confirm your email.

What can I look up?

LinkedIn ID, LinkedIn public identifier, GitHub ID or GitHub username. One call returns emails, phone numbers and social handles. Email verification is a separate endpoint.
