Python SDK 2.9.0 on 30 October 2026, 7 days before this check (30). SDK 2.7.0 and 2.8.0 on 6 October and changelog entries on 23, 24, 27, 28, 29 and 30 September and 1 October (20). A public changelog, roadmap and feedback portal, an email address, and a Slack channel on Scale (10 of 15). An official Python SDK and CLI, no other languages (10 of 15). Package health not checked (3 of 10). 30+20+10+10+3 = 73.\n- Explorium AgentSource (28): Explorium's terms bar robots and automated collection on its website, so only the terms were re-read on 4 November and other readings are per the 9 October check. The last dated API change found is v2 general availability on 2 September 2026, 63 days before 4 November (20 of 30). No dated changelog, so three entries in 90 days could not be shown (0). Support by email and by a shared Slack channel for customers that have one, with no public changelog or forum (5 of 15). No official REST SDK found. The repository's `server.json` names `ai.explorium/mcp-explorium`, but no registry page could be read (0). The `mcp-explorium` repository is MIT, with its last commit on 22 January 2026 and only a publishing workflow, no CI (3 of 10). 20+0+5+0+3 = 28.\n\n### Schema \u0026 documentation: Databar +44\n\n- Databar (84): Each API reference page embeds its OpenAPI 3.1 operation (spec version 0.1.2), with no downloadable file found (20 of 25). llms.txt with 79 API entries and Markdown twins (10). Descriptions say when to use each endpoint, such as headless runs against table runs, and what a delete leaves behind (16 of 20). Typed request bodies with required fields (12 of 15). An error envelope with stable codes and examples for 400, 406 and 422 (14 of 15). v1 paths and a dated changelog, though the API's own versioning isn't described (12 of 15). 20+10+16+12+14+12 = 84.\n- Explorium AgentSource (40): Explorium's terms bar robots and automated collection on its website, so only the terms were re-read on 4 November and other readings are per the 9 October check. The OpenAPI 3.1 file read on 9 October has no recorded visible link from a docs page, and the host can't be re-read to find one, so it no longer counts as a published contract (0 of 25). llms.txt and a Markdown twin of every docs page (10). The docs pages and the 11 MCP tool descriptions say what each call is for and what to call first (12 of 20). The typed schemas, enums and item limits were read from that file, so they no longer count (0 of 15). Docs pages have request and response examples, and the error guide lists Partner ID header messages that don't match the `api_key` scheme (10 of 15). Versions live in the path with a migration guide and a full v2 change list. No dated changelog was found (8 of 15). 0+10+12+0+10+8 = 40.\n\n### Security \u0026 auth: Databar +15\n\n- Databar (47): A workspace API key in a header, never in the URL, and OAuth on the MCP with a Connected apps page to revoke access. No scopes found (20 of 30). No read-only key; MCP balance checks and confirmation above 50 credits, a 30-day trash for workbooks and tables, but row, column and table deletes through the tools (12 of 20). Enrichment results include web-scraped and AI researcher text, with no prompt-injection guidance (3 of 15). Credit usage charts, transaction logs and per-request data logs (12 of 15). No security.txt, disclosure policy, bug bounty or certification found (0 of 20). 20+12+3+12+0 = 47.\n- Explorium AgentSource (32): Explorium's terms bar robots and automated collection on its website, so only the terms were re-read on 4 November and other readings are per the 9 October check. The docs say each company gets a single API key shared by all its users, sent in a header. The site's `auth.md` says a key can be deleted in the console, and the key page says to ask an administrator for a reset. No scopes (12 of 30). No read-only mode or per-key limits. The API mostly reads, writes are limited to webhooks and event enrolments, and auto-refill has an optional cap (5 of 20). Research scrapes web pages and the LinkedIn post enrichments return third-party text. No prompt-injection guidance was found in the docs (2 of 15). Balance and aggregation endpoints, per-call credit reporting, correlation IDs and last-active times for users. No per-call log was found (8 of 15). The privacy policy states SOC 2, ISO 27001 and ISO 27701, with no report, security.txt, disclosure policy or bug bounty found. A certification claim with no report or reporting route takes 5, as settled in this run (5 of 20). No GitHub-reviewed advisory names Explorium in the 12 months to 4 November. 12+5+2+8+5 = 32.\n\n### Reliability: Explorium AgentSource +14\n\n- Databar (28): Hosted lines. No status page linked from the site or docs (0). No incident history to read (5). The 20 August changelog says rate limits return 429, but no numbers were found in the docs read (5 of 15). The SDK backs off on 429 per the 28 September entry, tasks can be cancelled with a refund, and no Retry-After or idempotency key is documented (8 of 15). No SLA found (0). The MCP server left beta on 15 July 2026 and the API is generally available (10). 0+5+5+8+0+10 = 28.\n- Explorium AgentSource (42): Explorium's terms bar robots and automated collection on its website, so only the terms were re-read on 4 November and other readings are per the 9 October check. Hosted lines. No status page found. The docs tell users to subscribe to status updates and link no page, and status.explorium.ai did not answer (0). No readable incident history (5). Rate limit published, 200 queries a minute per key over a 60-second sliding window, with each batch entity counted as a query (15). 429s carry `Retry-After` and `X-RateLimit-*` headers and the docs ask for exponential backoff. No idempotency keys were found for the webhook and enrolment writes, so safe-retry guidance without keys takes 12 (12). No SLA is published. The migration guide implies one exists by saying v1 loses its SLA at end of support (0). v2 reached general availability on 2 September 2026, though the conventions page still says request and response schemas are being finalised (10). 0+5+15+12+0+10 = 42.\n\n### Transparency \u0026 trust: Explorium AgentSource +6\n\n- Databar (55): Closed service with terms effective 1 October 2026 naming Databar, Inc. of Delaware (15 of 30). The privacy policy keeps data 'for as long as needed' with no periods; the docs give 24 hours for task results; a DPA is part of the agreement but was not read (15 of 30). The changelog flagged breaking API and SDK changes on 20 August 2026, and the terms let Databar retire any form of programmatic access; no notice period stated (8 of 20). Sub-processors are disclosed under the DPA, which was not read; data is processed in the United States (5 of 20). 15+15+8+5 = 43.\n- Explorium AgentSource (61): Explorium's terms bar robots and automated collection on its website, so only the terms were re-read on 4 November and other readings are per the 9 October check. Closed service. The Explorium Terms of Use (updated 14 June 2026, re-read) cover the Platform, API and data, and let Explorium change or end the service without notice (14 of 30). The privacy policy (updated 28 June 2026) sets out controller and processor roles, publishes 2025 request counts and links an opt-out page. Retention has no periods, and no DPA was found on the pages read (16 of 30). The v1 timeline gives end of support about six months and retirement about twelve months after 2 September 2026, marked indicative, and website traffic enrichment is slated for removal with no date. Dated notices take 15 as settled in this run (15 of 20). Processing in Israel, the United States and the EU is stated. No sub-processor list was found (6 of 20). 14+16+15+6 = 51.\n\n### Payments \u0026 pricing: Explorium AgentSource +5\n\n- Databar (35): No x402, MPP or L402 (0). Plan prices and credits are public, and each connector's credit cost is shown before a run and in the enrichment's pricing field; credits aren't sold per call outside a plan (15 of 20). A 14-day premium trial with no card, per the pricing FAQ (20). A person signs up in a browser, and API access needs a paid plan (0). 0+15+20+0 = 35.\n- Explorium AgentSource (40): Explorium's terms bar robots and automated collection on its website, so only the terms were re-read on 4 November and other readings are per the 9 October check. No x402, MPP or L402 (0). Credit pack prices and per-operation credit costs are public without a login (20). The pricing page and the site's own `pricing.md` disagree on two packs, which is recorded as a deduction and not here. Free trial of 100 credits for 90 days. No page read asks for a card at sign-up, and the auto-refill guide treats a payment method as something added later (20). The vendor's `auth.md` says registration needs a person and there is no client-registration endpoint (0). Total 40.\n\n## Score by category\n\n| Category | Weight | Databar | Explorium AgentSource | Edge |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Reliability | 16% (20 this run) | 28 | 42 | Explorium AgentSource +14 |\n| Performance | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run |\n| Schema \u0026 documentation | 13% (16.2 this run) | 84 | 40 | Databar +44 |\n| Agent ergonomics | 13% (16.2 this run) | 66 | 63 | Databar +3 |\n| Security \u0026 auth | 14% (17.5 this run) | 47 | 32 | Databar +15 |\n| Payments \u0026 pricing | 10% (12.5 this run) | 35 | 40 | Explorium AgentSource +5 |\n| Task success | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run |\n| Maintenance \u0026 community | 7% (8.8 this run) | 73 | 28 | Databar +45 |\n| Transparency \u0026 trust | 7% (8.8 this run) | 55 | 61 | Explorium AgentSource +6 |\n| Negative events | ≤15 | 0 | -2 | |\n| **Total** | | **53.8 · D** | **41.5 · E** | |\n\n## Facts side by side\n\n| Fact | Databar | Explorium AgentSource |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Kind | HTTP API | HTTP API |\n| Vendor | Databar, Inc. | Explorium Ltd. |\n| Hosted endpoint | `https://mcp.databar.ai/mcp` | `https://api.explorium.ai` |\n| Transports | HTTP, Streamable HTTP, SSE (legacy) | HTTP, Streamable HTTP, SSE (legacy) |\n| Auth | OAuth or key | API key |\n| Pricing | Paid | Pay per use |\n| Price for lead enrichment | not published | $0.15 per record |\n| x402 | no | no |\n| Licence | Proprietary, under Databar, Inc.'s terms of service | Proprietary service under the Explorium Terms of Use.

API access needs a paid plan or trial, rate limits aren't published as numbers, and no status page or security programme was found.\n\n**Explorium AgentSource.** AgentSource v2 has Markdown docs, a 200 queries a minute limit with `Retry-After`, public credit prices and a 100-credit trial. No status page or published SLA was found, each company shares one API key with no scopes, no specification file is linked from the docs, and the vendor's two published price tables disagree.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Databar\n\n1. Poll GET /v1/tasks/{task_id} for async runs and collect results within 24 hours; after that the task returns gone\n2. When the MCP returns confirmation_required, show estimated_credits to the user and re-call with the retry_with object only after they agree\n3. Use upsert with a key column, and pass internal_version when editing flows, to avoid duplicates and stale-write 409s\n4. Check credits with GET /v1/user/me before bulk runs; 406 means the balance or plan can't cover it\n5. Treat AI researcher and scraped outputs as untrusted text\n\n### Explorium AgentSource\n\n1. Send the key in the `api_key` header to `https://api.explorium.ai` and use `/v2` paths. v1 is deprecated\n2. Point MCP clients at `https://mcp-v2.explorium.ai/mcp`. The site's agent files still name the v1 server at `mcp.explorium.ai`\n3. Count each entity in a batch as one query against the 200 a minute limit, so 50 IDs in one call spend 50\n4. Call the statistics endpoint first to size an audience for free. Fetch costs 1 credit a result, or 2 with the Bombora intent filter\n5. Call `/v2/autocomplete` before filtering on category, tech stack or job title, and never mix two category types in one request\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Databar or Explorium AgentSource?\n\nDatabar scores 53.8 (D) on agent readiness against Explorium AgentSource's 41.5 (E), and leads in 4 of 7 scored categories. Explorium AgentSource leads on reliability, payments \u0026 pricing and transparency \u0026 trust.\n\n### Do Databar and Explorium AgentSource need an API key?\n\nDatabar takes an API key or an OAuth sign-in. Explorium AgentSource needs an API key.\n\n### Can an agent call Databar and Explorium AgentSource without installing anything?\n\nYes. Databar has a hosted endpoint at https://mcp.databar.ai/mcp and Explorium AgentSource at https://api.explorium.ai.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/databar-vs-explorium-agentsource.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/databar-vs-explorium-agentsource.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"databar\", \"b\": \"explorium-agentsource\"}`.
