Can I get a discounted pilot or custom rates?

Yes, for volumes around 100k-150k credits/month or enterprise tiers, you can book a demo to discuss custom packaging and annual commit discounts.

How is authentication handled?

Each API request must include the `X-API-KEY` header with your unique key. Keys are per-user and not shared across workspaces.

What does the MCP integration do?

The Model Context Protocol server allows AI assistants (like Claude, Cursor) to call Captain Data tools directly, fetching live people/company data as context.

Is there a free trial?

Yes, you get 100 free credits upon signup to test the API. No credit card is required.

What data is returned for a person enrichment?

A full profile including full_name, headline, job_title, company_name, experiences, educations, skills, and the original LinkedIn URL.

Does the data include intent signals?

No. The API focuses on factual people and company data (firmographics, profiles). It does not provide buying intent or behavioral signals.
