New Product -- Search API

Our Search API in open beta. The Search API allows users to pull down up to 10,000 net new records with a single SQL or ElasticSearch query.

You can read more about the Search API in the docs and speak to a data consultant to get access.

New Product -- Address Data Slice

The streetaddress slice is the first new dataset following changes to our canonicalization last quarter. This slice includes ~_175MM records representing unique US individuals with street addresses. The main coverage highlights in this slice are:

  • Names (175MM)
  • Street Addresses (175MM) -- there are on average 6 street addresses per record (1 current, 5 historic).
  • Dates of Birth (162MM)
  • Current Address (153MM)
  • Phones (159MM)
  • Mobile Phones (48MM)
  • Emails (57MM)

Street address data has been frequently requested by customers working in fraud tech, identity resolution, and real estate tech. Teams partaking in direct mail campaigns are also very interested in our address data. We hope to extract even more value from our data by linking the street address slice with our popular resume and email slices.

Freshness

  • This quarter we have refreshed job titles for over 200mm of our global profiles and locations for over 205mm.

  • Similarly, we have refreshed job titles for over 62mm of our US profiles and locations for over 78mm.
