What's new in CompanyLens

The ceo_name field has been removed from CompanyEnrichResponse. Internal CEO lookup collectors are preserved for potential future internal-only use but no longer surface in any API response, OpenAPI spec, or documentation. This aligns the API with the company data-only scope stated in Privacy §4 / Terms §5.

Checkout, subscription management, and a self-serve billing portal. Upgrade or downgrade your plan without contacting support.

Per-key usage tracking with tier limits and near-limit banners — visible in the dashboard the moment you approach your quota. Includes an inline upgrade prompt.

Free, Starter, Pro, and Business tier limits are now enforced at the API key level. Requests over quota return 429 with a Retry-After header.

Live service status, incident history, and maintenance windows published via Better Stack. Real-time uptime visibility without needing to contact support.

New users see an inline activation card on first login with a working curl snippet and their live API key — zero friction to a first successful request.

Login now honors a ?next= parameter, returning users to their intended destination after authentication completes.

Create workspaces, invite teammates by email, and manage API keys across an organization with role-based access control (owner / member).

AI-assisted web search fills remaining data gaps from public web sources — 83% accuracy on uncached lookups. Enriches company data using publicly available information from the web.

Four new contact-oriented fields added to the company profile response. Email pattern detection, company phone, general contact email, and CEO/founder name.

MX record check + SMTP verification + pattern detection for reliable email format discovery.

Website HTML parsing → DNS/WHOIS records → Tech fingerprinting → SEC EDGAR → Wikidata SPARQL → SMTP/MX verification → AI-assisted web search. Sources are queried in parallel and results are merged with smart conflict resolution.

Every field in the response now includes a confidence score indicating data reliability. Higher scores mean more sources agreed on the value.

Cached companies are now enriched with v4 fields on first request. Existing cache entries get new enrichment fields without requiring a full refresh.

Popular companies are pre-indexed and cached for instant responses with zero latency on first request.

Improved accuracy across firmographic fields. Regression fixes for edge cases in tech detection and social discovery.

Founded year, headquarters location, industry classification, and employee count sourced from Wikidata's structured knowledge base.

US public companies enriched with legal name, SIC industry code, employee count, and headquarters from SEC filings.

Company GitHub profiles provide additional metadata including description, public repos, and team size indicators.

New scoring system that rates data reliability based on source agreement and recency.

Full company profile enrichment. Returns name, description, industry, employee count range, founding year, headquarters location, social profiles, tech stack (flat + categorized), contact email pattern, website metadata, WHOIS, and DNS records.

Dedicated tech stack detection. Analyzes HTTP headers, HTML content, and DNS MX records to categorize technologies into frameworks, CMS, analytics, payment, CDN/hosting, email providers, chat/support, and other.

Social profile discovery. Scrapes company websites and probes common URL patterns to find LinkedIn, Twitter/X, Facebook, GitHub, YouTube, Instagram, and Crunchbase profiles.

Bulk company enrichment. Enrich up to 10 domains concurrently in a single POST request. Returns per-domain results with success/failure status and full enrichment payloads.

Health check endpoint. Returns service status, API version, Redis connectivity, and database connectivity.

Detects popular frameworks (React, Next.js, Vue, Angular), CMS platforms (WordPress, Shopify, Webflow), analytics (GA4, Segment, Mixpanel), CDNs (Cloudflare, Fastly, AWS CloudFront), payment processors (Stripe.js, Braintree), email providers (SendGrid, Mailchimp, Postmark), and chat tools (Intercom, Drift, HubSpot).

tech_stack returns a flat deduplicated list for quick access; tech_stack_detailed groups technologies by category for structured consumption.

Combines HTTP response headers, HTML meta tags, script src patterns, and DNS MX records for higher accuracy.

A, CNAME, MX, NS, and TXT records returned in the dns object. Useful for detecting email providers, CDNs, and infrastructure from DNS alone.

Registrar, registrant organization, creation date, expiry date, last updated, name servers, and domain status — all parsed from WHOIS data.

All enrichment results are cached for 7 days. Use refresh=true to bypass the cache and fetch fresh data on demand.

Per-API-key rate limits enforced with standard X-RateLimit-Limit, X-RateLimit-Remaining, and X-RateLimit-Reset response headers.

Free, Starter, Pro, and Business tiers with different rate limits. API keys are managed per-account.

Every API call is logged with cache hit status, response time, and tier metadata for usage analytics.
