A B2B data API with no markup
Datacircle is a B2B data API at cost: one key and one balance for B2B data providers, and every call costs what the provider charges us, nothing added. Pay as you go from $5, no plan, no subscription, no minimum.
And the data is shared: everything sourced through Datacircle goes to the whole community, so every credit a customer spends grows the dataset everyone gets.
At the provider's cost
Every answer carries datacircle_meta with the provider that answered, the call's cost in dollars and your balance after it. The cost is the provider's own price. A call that fails is not charged, and a profile Datacircle already holds is answered from what is stored, for free, for up to 30 days.

Pay as you go
Your balance is what your workspace can spend, in dollars. It starts with a $5 signup credit that never expires. Add funds from your dashboard or through the API (POST /checkout/ returns a Stripe payment page): any whole number of dollars from $5 to $10,000. Funds never expire; credits are spent first.
A co-op: what everyone spends, everyone shares
Every LinkedIn profile anyone fetches through Up2Data goes into one shared co-op file, new every day: flat Parquet files, every column typed and documented, no private data (no emails, keys, or who fetched what). Add $50 in funds, or have 3 people you invited sign up, and your workspace downloads them. What's in them and how big they are: the B2B data co-op.

Questions
What does "no markup" mean?
Each call costs exactly what the provider charges Datacircle for it, and the answer says so: datacircle_meta.cost_usd. We don't make money reselling data.
How does Datacircle make money, then?
From what comes next: access to everything sourced so far, directly in a database. It isn't built yet; once a workspace has spent $500, a direct query account and file delivery to a destination of your choice are coming.
Is it pay as you go?
Yes. No plan and no subscription: a balance in dollars, topped up by Stripe Checkout with any whole number of dollars from $5 to $10,000, spent per call. Funds never expire, and every workspace starts with a $5 credit.
What is the B2B data co-op?
Everything sourced through Datacircle goes to the whole community: every LinkedIn profile fetched through Up2Data goes into a shared file, new every day. A workspace unlocks the co-op files once it has added $50 in funds, or once 3 people it invited sign up.
What data can I get today?
LinkedIn profiles, from two providers, Up2Data ($1.25 per 1,000 found) and HarvestAPI ($3.70 per 1,000). And for free: a 10M+ U.S. B2B leads dataset with validated work emails and direct phones, in one file.
Sign up with your work email: your API key and a $5 credit that never expires are on your dashboard, with the free 10M+ U.S. B2B leads dataset.
