ZoomInfo Developer Blog

Many of you have been patiently waiting to integrate ZoomInfo data and search capabilities into your existing applications and sites, or to create new cool mashups with other existing APIs.

Well, your chance is finally here…

Let’s start with some basics… (For those of you that don’t already know.)

Who Are We?

ZoomInfo is a business information search engine with information on people and companies. Our database contains more than 37 million people and 3.5 million company profiles. You can use ZoomInfo for quick and easy access to in-depth information on industries, companies, people, products, services and jobs.

How Do We Do It?

Magic fairy dust that we manufacture right here in our own offices. Well…kind of. Our magic fairy dust is our semantic search engine, which employs Natural Language Processing and advanced algorithms. ZoomInfo crawls a specific portion of the internet that we call the Business Web - the millions of company websites, news feeds and other online sources -- identifies information on people, companies, products, services and industries and then organize this information into fresh, comprehensive, objective and easy-to-read profiles on a daily basis.

What the API does?

We created our API to give users access to ZoomInfo data in way that is easy to integrate into any application or website. Using our REST-based API, you are able to receive data to support, enhance, and find the descriptions of any company, business professional, and more. Your only limit is your imagination…and of course making sure you follow our Terms of Service and Branding Requirements. You can check out what some others, like Compete, Amazon A9 and Xing, have done with the beta version of this API in our Application Gallery.

Have Suggestions?

This is just the beginning for the ZoomInfo API. Over the following months, we will be rolling out updates and additions to the type of data and search capabilities that are available in the API.

But more importantly, we want to hear what you want. If you have any suggestions, questions, or comments go to our Forum and we will respond ASAP.

Getting Started…

You can sign up and get access to what you need right now.
