PeopleDB is a contact enrichment API built for developers and sales teams who need accurate contact data without the overhead of an enterprise subscription.

Unlike tools like Clearbit that charge a monthly fee whether you use them or not, PeopleDB works on a simple credits model. Buy once, use whenever. Credits never expire, and you're only charged when we successfully return data.

The API is built around social identifiers. Pass in a LinkedIn public identifier or LinkedIn ID, a GitHub username or GitHub ID, and get back a full contact record including verified email addresses (split into personal and work), phone numbers, and social handles. Results are deduplicated and merged across multiple data sources.

One endpoint does it all: GET /api/v1/people. No account manager, no onboarding call, no enterprise tier required. Just an API key and a query parameter.

PeopleDB is particularly useful for teams doing outbound sales from LinkedIn, building developer-focused pipelines with GitHub identifiers, or running bursty enrichment jobs like one-time imports or weekly background processes. It's also available as a Chrome extension and integrates with Zapier for no-code workflows.

Pricing starts at $2 for 100 credits (2 cents per lookup), with volume tiers down to 1 cent per lookup for 10,000 credits. New accounts get 10 free credits with no card required.
