Clearbit's APIs still run for existing customers behind a login, and its free tools and Logo API were retired in 2025. HubSpot's Breeze Intelligence is the route for new buyers, through HubSpot rather than Clearbit.\n\n**People Data Labs.** Monthly dated release notes, a free sandbox with synthetic data, response headers that report credits and rate limits, and a free plan of 100 records a month make the API easy to start with. No OpenAPI file was found, keys carry no scopes and may travel in the URL, and the agreement allows changes without notice.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Clearbit\n\n1. Don't plan to call Clearbit. Hand the task to a person with an existing Clearbit account, or use HubSpot's Breeze Intelligence through HubSpot\n2. Replace logo.clearbit.com links, which stopped working after 8 December 2025\n\n### People Data Labs\n\n1. Send the key in the `X-Api-Key` header. The `api_key` query parameter puts the secret in URLs and logs\n2. Build and test queries against `https://sandbox.api.peopledatalabs.com/v5/...` first. It costs no credits and allows five calls a minute\n3. Set `size` deliberately on search. Every record returned costs one credit, and responses over 1 MB fail\n4. Treat `404` on enrichment as no match, not an error, and `402` as credits exhausted. Neither is worth a retry\n5. On `429`, wait until the `x-ratelimit-reset` time. Limits are fixed-window per key and per endpoint\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Clearbit or People Data Labs?\n\nPeople Data Labs scores 64.2 (B) on agent readiness against Clearbit's 13.5 (F), and leads in every scored category.\n\n### Do Clearbit and People Data Labs need an API key?\n\nBoth need an API key.\n\n### Can an agent call Clearbit and People Data Labs without installing anything?\n\nNo hosted endpoint is listed for Clearbit.
