What is and where I can find my API secret key?
The API secret key is used to identify your account.
You will be asked to provide one to connect to some of our services like the Google Sheets Add-on and the API functionalities.
You can find your API secret key in the API page on your dashboard. You can also create new API keys in the same section and name them if necessary. Make sure you always keep your keys secret!
Can I use a test API Key?
Can I use a test API Key?
Yes, you can!
The authentication is made with a key which you will have to add to every call you make to our API. This parameter is always required. We will return an error if the key is missing or invalid.
Your API key is what identifies your account, so make sure to keep it secret! You can at any time generate or delete API keys on your dashboard.
A special API key can be used to test our API: test-api-key. It will validate the provided parameters, but will always return the same dummy response. It is available on our three main endpoints: the Domain Search, the Email Finder, and the Email Verifier.
Is there a request per second limit?
Is there a request per second limit?
Yes, this limit depends on the API endpoint, and applies per API key or IP address.
The Domain Search, Email Finder and all Enrichment API calls are rate limited to 15 requests per second / 500 per minute.
The Email Verifier API call is rate limited to 10 requests per second / 300 requests per minute.
The Discover API call is rate limited to 5 requests per second / 50 requests per minute.
The Email Count API call is rate limited to 15 requests per second.
In case you should reach the limit, a 403 error will be triggered.
Integrations
Can I integrate Hunter with LinkedIn?
Can I integrate Hunter with LinkedIn?
Sadly, Hunter cannot be integrated with LinkedIn as we need to comply with LinkedIn's Terms of Use that prohibits the use of any extension on its website.
Due to this, we have replaced the LinkedIn integration with the Email Finder functionality, which allows you to find a person's email by simply typing the full name and company directly in Hunter.
The Email Finder functionality can also be used in bulk by using the Bulk Email Finder tool; this allows you to upload a list of full names and company names as a CSV or TXT file. We'll return a list of verified email addresses for the leads you've researched.
