How ContactBased works \u2014 search, find, activate

ContactBased turns any topic into a daily-refreshed feed of the people researching it. The product is built around three steps that take you from a free-text query to an activated audience or an enriched CRM in minutes.

Step 1: Search any topic on the open web

Type any keyword, product name, competitor, use case, niche category, or regional phrase. ContactBased runs free-text matching against open-web behavior, so the topic does not need to live in a predefined taxonomy. Example queries include "Snowflake migration", "lab-grown diamonds", "CRM software", and "ice baths". Works for B2B and B2C audiences alike.

Step 2: Find the interested people

Get a feed of the individuals showing intent for that topic right now. Each row is person-level: hashed email, name, location, and LinkedIn URL when available. Data is refreshed on a 24-hour rolling window and you can search lookback windows of 7, 14, or 30 days.

Step 3: Export and activate

Push the audience to LinkedIn, Meta, Google, or TikTok as custom audiences. Sync to HubSpot or Salesforce to enrich your CRM. Hand the list to SDRs for outbound. Or pull the same data into your own product via the ContactBased API.

Dashboard for marketers. API for builders.

Marketers use the ContactBased dashboard to free-text search topics, build lists, and export CSVs. Builders pull the same data into their own product via the ContactBased intent and enrichment API. Self-serve OpenAPI 0.1.0 spec, batch enrichment up to 1,000 contacts per call.

Example: POST /intent/feeds/search

Submit a feed_id and a lookback_days window. The endpoint returns total records, records with cb_id, daily counts, and an optional frozen export so you can paginate stable rows forever.
