Crustdata PredictLeads
Pros
  • + Extensive real-time B2B data — 250+ company firmographics and 90+ people datapoints with near-instant freshness updates
  • + Watcher API enables event-driven agent workflows via webhooks for job switches, funding rounds, and other company/people changes
  • + Simple REST API with token auth and JSON responses makes integration straightforward for LLM agents
  • + Broad company intelligence — 9 datasets (jobs, news, financing, tech detections, connections, website evolution, GitHub repos) from 70M+ companies in one API
  • + Official MCP server and Swagger/OpenAPI spec — agents can auto-discover endpoints or connect via MCP at mcp.predictleads.com
  • + Dual auth via X-Api-Key + X-Api-Token headers or query params, clean REST design, Postman collection available — easy agent integration
Cons
  • - No public OpenAPI spec — agents must rely on manually coded endpoint definitions
  • - Credit-based pricing can be opaque; free tier is limited and paid plans require contacting sales for enterprise volumes
  • - Free tier is only 100 requests/month — very limited for production agent workloads, paid dataset subscriptions start at $6k/year
  • - No official SDK — agents must use raw HTTP requests with dual-header auth (api_key + api_token)
