Verdicts

Before you call either

Dropcontact API + MCP

  1. Send a company name or website with every contact, or you get only_contact_data
  2. Send only documented fields. New accounts get a 400 for unknown ones
  3. Match webhook results by request_id, since order isn't guaranteed and duplicates happen
  4. Poll no faster than every 30 seconds, as the not-ready response asks
  5. Post an empty contact to read the credit balance at no cost

LeadMagic API + MCP

  1. Call preview_cost before bulk work. It's free
  2. Read X-Credits-Remaining after each call instead of polling the balance
  3. Treat 402 as out of credits and wait out Retry-After on 429
  4. Keep credit-free search under 13,333 calls a day per account
  5. Retry unknown validations later. They cost nothing
