Ocean.io PredictLeads
Pros
  • + 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
  • + Broad company intelligence — 9 datasets (jobs, news, financing, tech detections, connections, website evolution, GitHub repos) from 70M+ companies in one API
  • + Official MCP server and Swagger/OpenAPI spec — agents can auto-discover endpoints or connect via MCP at mcp.predictleads.com
  • + Dual auth via X-Api-Key + X-Api-Token headers or query params, clean REST design, Postman collection available — easy agent integration
Cons
  • - 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
  • - Free tier is only 100 requests/month — very limited for production agent workloads, paid dataset subscriptions start at $6k/year
  • - No official SDK — agents must use raw HTTP requests with dual-header auth (api_key + api_token)
