About this item

Freshness. pipe0 doesn't say how fresh a search's results are.
6 of the 13 key fields we check. Industry, Employees, Social profiles, Locations, Funding, Revenue and budgets.
A balance you top up. You pay $10 or more. You spend all of it on calls.
One call. You call POST /v1/search/run/sync. You send search ({"search_id": "companies:profiles:crustdata@3"}). You can also send config, connector, and the search's config (limit, cursor, output_fields). The call returns the answer when the provider is quick. When the provider is slow, the call returns a job. You fetch the answer once the job is done.
Who can get it: businesses only, in the course of their trade, business or profession. Keep data: no time limit, not cached or shared to avoid running a pipe. Use data: with conditions.
