Search Business Email by Name

The Business Email Finder API finds a person's valid work email address from just their name and company domain.

It runs a LinkedIn profile search and an email lookup in a single call, and returns the email address along with the matched LinkedIn profile URL. Pass a full name or separate first_name and last_name fields, and provide the company as a domain, for example acme.com. URLs are normalised automatically, and tokens are only charged when an email is found.

Use this endpoint to:

  • Find a prospect's work email before outreach
  • Fill in missing email fields on a lead list
  • Enrich CRM records with verified contact emails

Fair Use Policy: This API is subject to our <a href="https://moltsets.com/fair-use-policy-search/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fair Use Policy for Search</a>.

Outcomes: A lookup that finds nothing is not an error. It returns HTTP 200 with status: "not_found", empty or null results, and the usual metadata — and costs no tokens, though it still counts as one request against your Fair Use requests limit. Read status, not the HTTP code, to tell a hit from a miss. The API's only 404 is an unknown or retired tool name.
