# Easy Email Finder API

Use this skill to find business leads and their email addresses. The Easy Email Finder API lets you search for local businesses (via Google Places) or digital/online-only businesses (SaaS, agencies, e-commerce, etc.), then enrich them with verified emails scraped from their websites.

## Authentication

All requests require a Bearer token. The API key is available in the `EEF_API_KEY` environment variable.

```
Authorization: Bearer $EEF_API_KEY
```

Get an API key at https://easyemailfinder.com/developer

## Base URL

```

## Endpoints

### Search for businesses (free — no credits)

```bash
# Local businesses (default)
curl -X POST https://easyemailfinder.com/api/v1/search \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $EEF_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"query": "dentists in denver", "pageToken": null}'

# Digital/online-only businesses
curl -X POST https://easyemailfinder.com/api/v1/search \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $EEF_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"query": "SaaS companies", "mode": "digital"}'
```

Set `mode` to `"local"` (default) for Google Places results or `"digital"` for online-only businesses. Returns business names, websites, and (for local mode) addresses, phone numbers, ratings, and Google Maps links. Use `pageToken` from the response to get the next page.

### Enrich a website with emails (1 credit per call)

```bash
curl -X POST https://easyemailfinder.com/api/v1/enrich \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $EEF_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"website": "https://example-business.com"}'
```

Returns: `emails`, `techStack` (wordpress/shopify/wix/squarespace/webflow/custom), `socialLinks` (facebook, instagram, linkedin, twitter, youtube, tiktok).

### Batch enrich (1 credit per website, max 20)

```bash
curl -X POST https://easyemailfinder.com/api/v1/enrich-batch \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $EEF_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"websites": ["https://site1.com", "https://site2.com"]}'
```

### Search + enrich in one call (1 credit per result)

```bash
# Local businesses
curl -X POST https://easyemailfinder.com/api/v1/search-and-enrich \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $EEF_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"query": "plumbers in austin", "limit": 20}'

# Digital businesses
curl -X POST https://easyemailfinder.com/api/v1/search-and-enrich \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $EEF_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"query": "digital marketing agencies", "limit": 20, "mode": "digital"}'
```

Combines search and enrichment. `limit` defaults to 20, max 60. Supports `mode`: `"local"` (default) or `"digital"`.

### Check credit balance (free)

```bash
curl https://easyemailfinder.com/api/v1/balance \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $EEF_API_KEY"
```

### View usage stats (free)

```bash
curl "https://easyemailfinder.com/api/v1/usage?days=7" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $EEF_API_KEY"
```

## Typical Workflow

**Local businesses** (e.g. "dentists in denver"):
1. Use `/v1/search` to find businesses in a specific industry and location
2. Use `/v1/enrich` or `/v1/enrich-batch` to get emails for businesses with websites
3. Or use `/v1/search-and-enrich` to do both in one call

**Digital businesses** (e.g. "SaaS companies", "digital marketing agencies"):
1. Use `/v1/search` with `"mode": "digital"` to find online-only businesses
2. Enrich with `/v1/enrich` or use `/v1/search-and-enrich` with `"mode": "digital"`

Check `/v1/balance` to monitor credit usage.
