SalesQL API- Introduction

Get started with the SalesQL API: its Person and Organization endpoints, which plans include access, and how admins generate and use the API key.

The SalesQL API gives you direct, programmatic access to our B2B contact and company database — so you can enrich leads, automate workflows, and integrate SalesQL data into your own tools without touching the extension or dashboard manually.

There are two core endpoints:

Person — returns contact details for an individual: verified email addresses, phone numbers, and related profile data, based on their LinkedIn URL or name + company.

Organization — returns company-level information such as industry, size, and location.

Who can use the API?

API access is available on the Professional and Premium (formerly Organization) plans. The Basic plan does not include API access. You can compare plans at salesql.com/pricing

Getting your API key

Your API key is generated from the API page in your SalesQL dashboard. Only account admins can access and generate it.

Keep your key private — don't expose it in client-side code or share it publicly. Every request to the API must include it as a header:

x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY

Next steps

Once you have your key, head to the API reference for endpoint details, parameters, and response examples. If you have questions about credits, rate limits, or common issues, check the API FAQ.
