Ask for phones only when needed. A phone is 5 credits against 1 for an email\n3. Use the Buying Group endpoint. Decision Makers was retired on 2026-09-04\n4. Use `/v3/lookalike/contacts` for contact lookalikes\n5. Back off exponentially on 429. Free keys stop at 100 requests a day\n\n### Prospeo API + MCP\n\n1. Call `search_suggestions` before using location, technology or industry filters, or the search returns nothing\n2. Pass `person_id` values from search into `bulk_enrich_person`, 25 at a time\n3. Branch on the body `error_code`, not the HTTP status, which is 400 for most failures\n4. Set `enrich_mobile` only when needed. A mobile costs 10 credits against 1 for an email\n5. Use Enrich Person.
