## Best Practices

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Use domain over company name" icon="globe">
    Domain lookups are more accurate. `leadmagic.io` resolves directly to LeadMagic, while a company name can match multiple entities.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Be flexible with titles" icon="edit">
    Try variations: "VP Sales", "VP of Sales", "Head of Sales" may all work depending on how the person lists their title.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Chain with Email Finder" icon="link">
    After finding a person, use Email Finder with their name and company to get their email.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

    # LeadMagic API Documentation


    The LeadMagic API provides comprehensive B2B data enrichment services
    including email validation, email finding, profile search, company
    intelligence, and more.


    ## Quick Start


    1. Get your API key from the [LeadMagic Dashboard](https://app.leadmagic.io)

    2. Add the `X-API-Key` header to all requests

    3. Start enriching your data!


    ## Base URL


    All API requests should be made to: `https://api.leadmagic.io`


    ## Rate Limits


    Each endpoint has specific rate limits (requests per minute). Exceeding
    limits returns a `429 Too Many Requests` response.


    ## Credits


    API calls consume credits based on the endpoint used. Check your balance
    with the `/v1/credits` endpoint.
