Crustdata Ocean.io
Pros
  • + Extensive real-time B2B data — 250+ company firmographics and 90+ people datapoints with near-instant freshness updates
  • + Watcher API enables event-driven agent workflows via webhooks for job switches, funding rounds, and other company/people changes
  • + Simple REST API with token auth and JSON responses makes integration straightforward for LLM agents
  • + Lookalike search endpoint lets agents find companies similar to a target — unique capability for ICP-driven prospecting that most enrichment APIs lack
  • + Simple API key auth via x-api-token header or apiToken query param, JSON in/out, clean REST design at api.ocean.io/v2/* — trivial to integrate in any agent framework
  • + Swagger/OpenAPI spec available at docs.oceanio.com, enabling auto-generated typed clients and agent tool discovery
Cons
  • - No public OpenAPI spec — agents must rely on manually coded endpoint definitions
  • - Credit-based pricing can be opaque; free tier is limited and paid plans require contacting sales for enterprise volumes
  • - No free tier — 14-day trial requires credit card and annual contracts on paid plans, making it expensive to experiment with in agent workflows
  • - Credit-based pricing for email/phone reveals adds budget-tracking complexity for autonomous agents that need to manage costs per action
