API Overview

The OpenProspect external API lets you create reusable search profiles, place profile-based briefing orders, read order status, fetch delivered companies and prospects, and manage company blacklists.

All external requests use API-key bearer authentication. Internal Hanko frontend authentication is not part of the external developer API.
