Recommended Workflow

To maximize efficiency and ensure precise targeting, follow this structured flow when working with Explorium’s API:

1. Assess Market Potential – Use the stats endpoint to gauge the size and scope of your target audience before making large-scale data fetches.
2. Match Businesses – Use the match endpoint to find the most accurate business_id for the companies you are targeting. Extract business_id to ensure precise data retrieval in the next steps.
3. Fetch Business Data – Retrieve company records that match your desired filters (e.g., industry, company size, location) using the matched business_id.
4. Match Prospects – Use the match endpoint to find the most accurate prospect_id for relevant employees within the selected businesses. Extract prospect_id to proceed with enrichment.
5. Fetch & Enrich Prospects – Retrieve prospects using the matched prospect_id, then enrich them with verified contact details such as email addresses and phone numbers for effective outreach.
6. Refine & Iterate – Adjust filters based on initial results to optimize for precision and efficiency.

By first matching businesses and prospects using the match endpoints, you ensure that the data retrieved is highly accurate and relevant. Extracting business_id and prospect_id at the right stages allows for better enrichment and precise targeting, minimizing redundant API calls and maximizing efficiency.
