Reference - Cleaner APIs
We designed the Cleaner APIs to clean your company, school and location data so that you can better query our person data. We use these same cleaners for standardizing our data as part of our Data Build Process.
Endpoints
The endpoints for the Cleaner APIs are:
Company: https://api.peopledatalabs.com/v5/company/clean
Location: https://api.peopledatalabs.com/v5/location/clean
School: https://api.peopledatalabs.com/v5/school/clean
Billing and Access
The Cleaner APIs are public and we make them available by default to all customers.
Rate Limiting
The standard rate limit is 10 per minute, and we have a standard total limit of 10,000 per month that we provide free of charge. To increase your monthly limit above 10,000, reach out to your Data Consultant or Customer Success Manager.
Input Parameters
Each of the three Cleaner API endpoints supports a different set of input parameters, which we've described in the tables below:
