What is the Seamless.AI API?
The Seamless.AI API gives your team direct, programmatic access to our contact and company data—without needing to use the app interface.
With the API, you can:
- Search for leads using filters like job title, company size, industry, and location
- Enrich incomplete records with verified contact and company information
- Automatically sync data into your CRM or internal systems
This is ideal for teams looking to scale, automate, or customize lead generation workflows using Seamless.AI’s real-time data engine.

Seamless.AI API Glossary
API (Application Programming Interface)
A set of rules and tools that allows software applications to communicate. Seamless.AI’s API lets your systems access contact data programmatically.
Endpoint
A specific URL or path in the API used to perform an action (e.g., retrieve contacts, search leads, enrich company data).
Example: /contacts/search or /company/enrich
Request
A call made to the API to retrieve data or trigger an action.
Example: Request contact details for a specific email address.
Response
The data returned after a request is made, typically in JSON format.
Example: Name, title, email, and phone number of a contact.
Authentication / API Key
A credential used to verify your identity and authorize access to the API. Must be included in each request.
Think of it as a password that lets your system securely access Seamless.AI.
Rate Limit
The number of API calls allowed within a set time window (e.g., 1,000 requests/hour). Helps maintain system performance and prevent overuse.
Throttling
The intentional slowing or limiting of API traffic when rate limits are exceeded.
Enrichment
The process of adding missing or outdated information to contact or company records using the API.
Example: Adding job titles and phone numbers to a list of email addresses.
Batch Enrichment
Sending multiple records at once to the API for enrichment, instead of one at a time.
Query Parameters
Filters added to an API request to narrow results.
Example: industry=software&title=VP%20Sales
Webhook
An automated message triggered by an event, sent from one system to another.
Example: Receive an alert when your bulk enrich request is completed.
JSON (JavaScript Object Notation)
A lightweight, readable data format used to transmit API data.
CRM (Customer Relationship Management)
Software for managing customer interactions. The Seamless.AI API integrates with tools like Salesforce, HubSpot, and Zoho to keep contact data fresh.
SDK (Software Development Kit)
A prebuilt collection of tools or libraries to simplify API integration for developers.
Pagination
A method of splitting large API responses into pages.
Example: Page 1 = records 1–100, Page 2 = 101–200
RESTful (Representational State Transfer)
A standard architecture for building scalable APIs using standard HTTP methods (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE).
Why it matters: RESTful APIs are widely supported and easy to integrate—Seamless.AI follows this modern web standard.
