Search companies

Search companies

Returns up to 100 companies that match a plain-language description or filters such as headquarters location, industry, headcount and company type, at no credit cost.

Hunter calls this Discover. Send a natural-language query, such as "Companies in Europe in the Tech Industry", or filters such as headquarters_location, industry, headcount and keywords; some filters, such as technology, year_founded and similar_to, need a Premium plan, as does paging with offset. Then list each company's contacts with a domain search.
