Search

Companies

Search for companies using structured definitions.

How It Works

Provide a structured definition of your target companies in the definition field — our AI will find matching companies. All other filters are optional. See the request schema below for the full list of available filters.

Definition examples:

  • "YouTube video summarization tool"
  • "electronic signature platform"
  • "AI B2B SaaS"
  • "real estate company"

AI Enrichment

Use the criteria parameter to score companies against custom criteria. Each company will be evaluated and scored (0-5) with reasoning for each criterion.

Pricing

  • First 10 results are free (including AI enrichment)
  • A positive credit balance is required for every request, free results included (an organization at 0 credits gets a 402)
  • Entirely-free requests are limited per organization by plan: free 50/day + 10/min · starter 200/day + 15/min · growth 500/day + 20/min · pro 750/day + 25/min · agency 1500/day + 30/min · enterprise 3000/day + 30/min (429 beyond); billable requests are not affected
  • 0.5 credits per company after the first 10
  • +0.1 credits per company per criterion after the first 10

Example: 150 companies with 2 criteria = 50 billable × (0.5 + 0.1 × 2) = 35 credits (first 10 are free)

Empty results = 0 credits.

Deduplication

Pass dedup list ids in exclude_lists to skip companies you already own — they are not returned and not charged. Free results zone does not apply. See the Deduplication endpoints.

Request

  • Base URL: https://api.explee.com (the document declares no server; this is the origin it was published from)
  • URL: https://api.explee.com/public/api/v1/search/companies
  • Auth: APIKeyHeader (a scheme the document does not define)

Request body

Page number, starting from 1.

page_sizeinteger

Number of companies per page. Default: 100, max: 1000.

exclude_listsstring[] nullable

Ids of your dedup lists (see Deduplication endpoints). Results already present in these lists are excluded and never charged.
