1. Finding all emails at a target company domain:
   1. Call

      GET /v1/search?domain=example.com&key=<your-key>

      to retrieve all known email addresses at the domain
   2. Minelead searches its index of 500M+ emails and returns matching addresses — webmail domains are excluded by default
   3. For each returned email, run verification with

      GET /v1/validate?email=<email>&key=<your-key>

      to get a quality score (25-100%)
   4. Filter results: keep emails with quality scores above 70% for outreach, flag catch-all domains for extra caution
   5. Save verified leads to a collection via

      POST /v1/leads

      for organization and future export
   6. For multiple domains, use Bulk Operations to process a CSV of domains in one batch
   7. Export your verified lead collection to HubSpot, Zoho CRM, or Google Sheets via integrations
2. Finding a specific person's email:
   1. Use the Email Finder:

      GET /v1/find?first_name=Jane&last_name=Doe&domain=example.com&key=<your-key>

   2. Minelead returns the most likely professional email address with confidence indicators
   3. Verify the found email immediately:

      GET /v1/validate?email=<found-email>&key=<your-key>

   4. Check the quality score — above 70% is safe for outreach, below 50% warrants caution
   5. If no result, try alternate domain spellings or the company's parent domain
   6. For batch lookups (e.g., a list of 50 decision-makers), prepare a CSV with first_name, last_name, domain columns and use Bulk Operations
3. Building a prospect list from keywords and locations:
   1. Use Lead Finder / Tags:

      GET /v1/tags?keyword=saas+marketing&location=London&key=<your-key>

   2. Minelead returns companies matching your keyword and geographic criteria
   3. For each discovered company, run Company Email Search to find contacts at the domain
   4. Verify discovered emails with the Email Verifier — filter out low-quality scores and disposable addresses
   5. Save qualified leads to a collection in Minelead's Leads/CRM
   6. Export the collection to your CRM or Google Sheets for outreach workflow
   7. Repeat with varied keywords to expand your TAM across different market segments

Best-effort from research — review these, especially items about plan-gated features and integration gotchas that may be outdated.

1. API key is passed as a query parameter, not a header — do not put it in the Authorization header. All Minelead API requests authenticate via

   key=<your-api-key>

   as a URL query parameter. This differs from platforms like Enrich.so or Hunter.io that use Bearer token headers. Be mindful that API keys in URLs can appear in server logs and browser history — use HTTPS and avoid sharing URLs that contain your key.
2. Bulk operation batch limits vary by plan and can silently truncate your upload. Free and Starter plans cap at 50 records per batch, Pro at 100, Business at 1,000. If you upload a CSV with more records than your plan allows, excess rows may be ignored without an explicit error. Check your plan's bulk limit before uploading and split large files into plan-appropriate batches. Enterprise is the only plan with unlimited bulk operations.
3. Email quality scores (25-100%) are not binary — treat them as a confidence gradient, not a pass/fail. A score of 70% does not mean the email has a 70% chance of being valid. Scores near 25% indicate high risk (likely invalid or catch-all), while 90%+ indicates strong confidence. Catch-all domains will often return moderate scores even for non-existent mailboxes — always flag catch-all results for manual review or extra validation steps.
4. Disposable email scores (0-5) require a threshold decision — Minelead does not set a default cutoff. A score of 0 means definitely not disposable, 5 means definitely disposable, but scores of 2-3 are ambiguous. You need to decide your own threshold based on your use case — form validation might reject anything above 2, while lead qualification might only reject 4-5. Test with known disposable providers to calibrate your threshold.
5. Email Campaigns require connected Gmail accounts — there is no built-in SMTP or non-Gmail sending. Campaign sending works exclusively through connected Gmail accounts via OAuth. If you need to send from non-Gmail addresses, you will need to use a separate email campaign tool. Round-robin distributes sends across connected accounts, which helps with deliverability but means you need multiple Gmail accounts for high-volume campaigns.
6. HubSpot, Zoho CRM, and Google Sheets integrations may require a Pro plan or higher — Free and Starter plans have limited integration access. Verify your plan includes the integrations you need before building workflows that depend on them. Zapier connectivity may also require a paid Minelead plan for certain triggers/actions.
7. The Free plan is throttled and limited to 25 credits/month — expect slower response times and rate limiting. The Free tier is suitable for evaluation only. API calls may be rate-limited more aggressively than paid plans. If you are building an integration, test on a paid plan to get realistic performance characteristics.

2. Uploads the CSV via Bulk Operations for batch verification
3. Explains quality score interpretation: 80-100% = safe to email, 50-79% = proceed with caution, 25-49% = high risk of bounce
