Quickstart

Make your first API request in less than 2 minutes.

Welcome to BlitzAPI! In this guide, we will perform a simple but powerful task: finding a verified professional email from a LinkedIn profile URL.

Prerequisites: You need an API Key. You can grab one from your BlitzAPI Dashboard.

Choose your client

BlitzAPI is a standard REST API, so you can use it with any language.For Python or JavaScript/TypeScript, the fastest path is the official SDK — it handles auth, retries, rate limiting, and pagination for you. Prefer cURL for a quick terminal test, or call the REST API directly from any other language.

Install the SDK

Skip this step if you’re using cURL.

pip install blitz-api-py

npm install blitz-api-js

See the SDK guides for the full API surface.

Send the request

We will use the POST /v2/enrichment/email endpoint. Replace YOUR_API_KEY with your actual key, or set it as the BLITZ_API_KEY environment variable (the SDKs read it automatically).

curl --request POST \
  --url https://api.blitz-api.ai/v2/enrichment/email \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --header 'x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY' \
  --data '{
  "person_linkedin_url": "https://www.linkedin.com/in/example-person"
}'

from blitz_api import BlitzAPI

client = BlitzAPI(api_key="YOUR_API_KEY")  # or set BLITZ_API_KEY

result = client.enrichment.email(
    person_linkedin_url="https://www.linkedin.com/in/example-person",
)

print(result.found, result.email)

import { BlitzAPI } from "blitz-api-js";

const client = new BlitzAPI({ api_key: "YOUR_API_KEY" }); // or set BLITZ_API_KEY

const result = await client.enrichment.email({
  person_linkedin_url: "https://www.linkedin.com/in/example-person",
});

console.log(result.found, result.email);

Check the response

You should receive a JSON object containing the verified email and its status.

{
  "found": true,
  "email": "jane.doe@acme.com",
  "all_emails": [
    {
      "email": "jane.doe@acme.com",
      "job_order_in_profile": 1,
      "company_linkedin_url": "https://www.linkedin.com/company/acme",
      "email_domain": "acme.com"
    }
  ]
}

Response Fields:

Field	Type	Description
`found`	`boolean`	`true` if a verified email was found. `false` if no email exists in the database.
`email`	`string`	The primary verified work email address. `null` if `found: false`.
`all_emails`	`array`	All verified email addresses found for this profile (usually 1).
`all_emails[].email`	`string`	The verified email address.
`all_emails[].job_order_in_profile`	`integer`	Position of the associated job in the person’s LinkedIn profile (1 = current job).
`all_emails[].company_linkedin_url`	`string`	LinkedIn URL of the company associated with this email.
`all_emails[].email_domain`	`string`	Domain of the email address.

All paid plans include unlimited requests — included in your flat monthly subscription.
