Helpful Tips
- Start with a narrow filter (e.g., headcount ≥ 50 AND funding ≥ $5 M) to keep API payloads under2 MB, then expand once you’ve validated latency.
- Cache delta updates for high‑frequency entities (CEOs, founders) to cut repeat calls by up to70 % and stay under your cost ceiling.
- Combine webhook alerts with CRM automation: when a prospect is promoted, auto‑populate a task in Salesforce using thePeople Enrichment endpoint.
- Leverage the bulk dataset for training AI models; the monthly snapshot reduces training‑time variance by≈ 15 % versus stale data sources.
- Monitor the “data freshness” metric in the dashboard; if freshness drops below98 %, trigger a fallback to thehistorical archive to avoid stale insights.
