Before you call either

Enrich Layer API + MCP

  1. Top up once before testing. Trial keys run at 2 requests a minute
  2. Set the person profile timeout to at least 100 seconds
  3. Ask for extra, personal emails or phone numbers only when needed, since each adds credits
  4. Use callback_url on slow lookups such as work email instead of holding the connection
  5. Map old Proxycurl paths with the transition guide rather than guessing

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
