  1. June Product Update: Location-Based Employee Search & Major Email Verification Enhancements

    New Feature
    Improvement

    What’s New?

    Location-Based Employee Search by Domain

    We're excited to introduce two powerful updates to our API:

    1. 🔍 Location Data APIYou can now retrieve the location of employees directly using the endpoint. This enhancement helps you better understand where a company's team is geographically distributed.
    2. 🌍 New country Parameter in Domain SearchWe’ve added a new query parameter to the endpoint: country This must be a two-letter country code (e.g., US, FR, DE). This allows you to filter domain searches by country for more targeted and relevant results.

    🛠 Example Use Case: Looking to find marketing leads in France from a specific domain? Simply use the domain search with country=FR and instantly get location-relevant data.

    Email Verification Upgrades

    We’ve significantly improved our email verification engine, with better accuracy on domains that support “accept-all” or "catch-all" .

    Email Verification Upgrades Smarter, Faster, and More Accurate

     

    We’ve rolled out a major upgrade to our email verification engine, delivering higher accuracy and reliability across the board.

     

    Improved Handling of Accept-All Domains

    Our system now better identifies and verifies emails from domains that use "accept-all" configurations—those that appear to accept any email regardless of validity. Thanks to smarter heuristics and new detection models, you’ll get clearer, more confident results even from these tricky domains.

     

    SMTP Compatibility Enhancements

    Over the past two months, several SMTP providers have tightened their security or temporarily blocked automated SMTP requests. We’ve adapted by integrating intelligent retry logic, provider-specific bypasses, and proxy-based request routing. As a result, our tool can now verify emails on these stricter servers with much higher success rates.

     

     

    Happy prospecting!
