- Credit consumption: Each API call consumes credits from your account balance. Monitor your credit usage carefully and implement caching to avoid unnecessary API calls for the same data.
- Rate limiting: People Data Labs enforces rate limits based on your plan tier. Implement exponential backoff retry logic to handle rate limit errors gracefully.
- Data freshness: Person and company data may not always be current. Always verify critical information before using it for important decisions or outreach.
-
Query parameters: API keys are passed as query parameters (
api_key=YOUR_KEY). Ensure your HTTP client properly encodes URLs and handles query parameters securely. - Partial matches: Search APIs may return partial matches. Always validate returned data matches your search criteria before using it in downstream processes.
