ZoomInfo Access Skill

Overview

This skill provides access to ZoomInfo's public pages and company profile data.

Important Limitations: ZoomInfo employs aggressive bot detection (PerimeterX and Cloudflare), which blocks most automated access to company profile pages (/c/ URLs). While public pages like /about and /blog are accessible, individual company profiles will typically return 403 Forbidden or 429 Too Many Requests.

Available Functions

1. get_public_page

Fetches public ZoomInfo pages that don't require authentication.

Parameters:

• url (required): Full ZoomInfo URL (e.g., https://www.zoominfo.com/about)

Known public pages:

• https://www.zoominfo.com/about - Company information
• https://www.zoominfo.com/blog - B2B sales and marketing blog

Example:

{
  "function": "get_public_page",
  "url": "https://www.zoominfo.com/about"
}

Returns:

• Page title and meta description
• JSON-LD structured data
• Next.js page data (if available)
• Page content preview

2. get_company_profile

Attempts to fetch a company profile from ZoomInfo.

Parameters:

• url (optional): Full ZoomInfo company profile URL
• company_id (optional): ZoomInfo company ID (numeric)
• company_name (optional): Company name (used to construct URL slug)

Note: At least one of url or company_id is required.

Example:

{
  "function": "get_company_profile",
  "url": "https://www.zoominfo.com/c/hawthorne-residential-partners-llc/348143237"
}

Returns:

• Status code (likely 403 or 429 due to bot protection)
• Blocked reason (if blocked)
• Company ID and slug extracted from URL

3. search_companies

Returns search engine URLs for finding ZoomInfo company profiles via cache.

Parameters:

• query (required): Company name or keywords to search

Example:

{
  "function": "search_companies",
  "query": "Hawthorne Residential Partners"
}

Returns:

• Search engine URLs (Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo)
• Possible ZoomInfo URL patterns
• Tips for finding cached pages

4. get_sitemap

Retrieves ZoomInfo's sitemap to discover publicly listed URLs.

Parameters: None

Example:

{
  "function": "get_sitemap"
}

Returns:

• List of sitemap URLs (e.g., careers, case studies, leadership)
• Helpful for discovering publicly accessible content

Bot Detection

ZoomInfo uses multiple layers of bot protection:

1. PerimeterX: JavaScript-based bot detection
2. Cloudflare: Rate limiting and WAF rules
3. CAPTCHA: Appears on suspicious requests

What Works

• Public pages (/about, /blog, /company)
• Sitemaps and meta information
• Static assets

What Doesn't Work

• Company profile pages (/c/)
• Search functionality
• Any authenticated endpoints

Alternatives for Company Data

Since ZoomInfo profiles are blocked, consider these alternatives:

1. Search Engine Cache: Use the search_companies function to get search URLs
2. LinkedIn: Many companies have LinkedIn profiles with similar data
3. Crunchbase: Good for startup/company information
4. Official Company Websites: Often have "About" pages

Response Formats

All functions return structured JSON with these common fields:

{
  "url": "requested URL",
  "status": 200,  // HTTP status code
  "title": "Page title",
  "meta_description": "Page description",
  "json_ld": [...],  // Structured data
  "next_data": {...},  // Next.js page data
  "blocked_reason": "bot_detection_perimeterx",  // If blocked
  "error": "error_type",  // If error
  "message": "Error message"
}

Technical Details

• Uses httpx for HTTP requests (better TLS/HTTP2 handling)
• Parses HTML with BeautifulSoup
• Extracts JSON-LD and Next.js data
• Retries with different user agents (for company profiles)
• Respects rate limits

Rate Limiting

The skill includes built-in delays between requests when trying multiple user agents. Even so, you may encounter:

• 429 Too Many Requests: Back off and retry later
• 403 Forbidden: Bot detection triggered
• CAPTCHA: Cannot be solved automatically
