What you get

One call.
Full picture.

Most enrichment APIs are thin wrappers around a single database. PeopleDB fans out across multiple independent providers, cross-references, dedups, and merges — so when one source is stale, another carries the current address.

01 Email addresses

Deduplicated across multiple sources. Auto-classified into personal vs work.

personal_email_addresses[]
02 Phone numbers

Direct dial numbers, sourced and normalized from multiple providers.

phone_numbers[]
03 Social profiles

GitHub, LinkedIn, Twitter — cross-referenced. Look up by any identifier.

github_login, linkedin_id
04 Email verification

Separate SMTP validation endpoint. Confirms deliverability before you send.

/email_verifications
The unfair advantage

Developers leave email addresses
in their commit history.

We reconstruct email addresses from the public GitHub event archive and match them against commit author names — surfacing contact data that never lands on a resume or in a contact directory.

For engineering, product, and design roles, GitHub commit extraction surfaces contact data in a significant share of profiles where conventional enrichment returns nothing.
