RocketReach: Contact and Company Data for AI Agents
Christian Pickett
Co-founder
Finding the right person is still one of the slowest parts of sales, recruiting, and market research. You need a real profile, the company behind it, and enough contact data to act. Most teams solve this with manual search, browser tabs, CSV exports, and a few brittle scripts.
Today we're excited to announce our partnership with RocketReach, a lead intelligence platform for finding professional emails, phone numbers, social profiles, and company data. RocketReach is now available on Orthogonal, so your agents can search people and companies through the same API layer they already use for the rest of their workflow.
What is RocketReach?
RocketReach helps sales, recruiting, and growth teams find professional contact and company data. Their API lets you search and retrieve contact information for 700M+ professionals and 35M companies.
Their core API capabilities:
- People Search API: Search people by name, title, company, location, keyword, and other criteria.
- Company Search API: Search companies by name, domain, industry, location, employee count, revenue, and more.
- People and Company Lookup API: Look up a person and their company data in one request using identifiers like email, LinkedIn URL, name plus employer, phone, or RocketReach profile ID.
- Lookup Status and Webhooks: Retrieve completed lookup results through status checks or webhook callbacks when enrichment takes longer.
Using RocketReach with Orthogonal
Search for People
Find prospects by role, company, location, or keyword. Search returns matching profiles, then you can use lookup to enrich the exact person.
import Orthogonal from "@orth/sdk";
const orthogonal = new Orthogonal({
apiKey: process.env.ORTHOGONAL_API_KEY,
});
const profiles = await orthogonal.run({
api: "rocketreach",
path: "/person/search",
method: "POST",
body: {
query: {
current_title: ["VP of Sales", "Head of Growth"],
current_employer: ["Stripe"],
location: ["San Francisco"]
},
page_size: 10,
order_by: "popularity"
}
});
console.log(profiles);
// Returns matching professional profiles for follow-up lookup.Search for Companies
Build account lists by industry, size, geography, domain, or keywords.
const companies = await orthogonal.run({
api: "rocketreach",
path: "/searchCompany",
method: "POST",
body: {
query: {
industry: ["Computer Software"],
employees: ["51-200"],
geo: ["United States"]
},
page_size: 10,
order_by: "relevance"
}
});
console.log(companies);
// Returns matching companies with firmographic details.Look Up a Person and Company

const profile = await orthogonal.run({

path: "/profile-company/lookup",
method: "GET",
query: {
linkedin_url: "https://www.linkedin.com/in/jamesgullbrand",
lookup_type: "standard"
}
});
console.log(profile);
// Returns profile data and associated company data.You can also look up by name and employer:
const profile = await orthogonal.run({
api: "rocketreach",
path: "/profile-company/lookup",
method: "GET",
query: {
name: "Jamie Gullbrand",
current_employer: "RocketReach",
lookup_type: "standard"
}
});Using x402 Protocol
RocketReach on Orthogonal also supports x402, an open protocol that lets agents pay for API calls directly with USDC stablecoins. No API key handoff. No separate account setup.
import { wrapFetchWithPayment } from "x402-fetch";
import { privateKeyToAccount } from "viem/accounts";
const account = privateKeyToAccount(
process.env.PRIVATE_KEY as `0x${string}`
);
const fetchWithPayment = wrapFetchWithPayment(fetch, account);
const response = await fetchWithPayment(
"https://x402.orthogonal.com/rocketreach/person/search",
{
method: "POST",
headers: { "Content-Type": "application/json" },
body: JSON.stringify({
query: {
current_title: ["VP of Sales"],
current_employer: ["Stripe"]
},
page_size: 5,
order_by: "popularity"
})
}
);
const data = await response.json();
console.log(data);Using MPP (Machine Payments Protocol)
RocketReach on Orthogonal also supports MPP, the open standard for machine-to-machine payments co-authored by Tempo and Stripe. Agents can pay for RocketReach calls with stablecoins, cards, or Bitcoin on the same endpoint.
import { privateKeyToAccount } from "viem/accounts";
import { Mppx, tempo } from "mppx/client";
Mppx.create({
methods: [tempo({ account: privateKeyToAccount("0x...") })],
});
const response = await fetch(
"https://mpp.orthogonal.com/rocketreach/person/search",
{
method: "POST",
headers: { "Content-Type": "application/json" },
body: JSON.stringify({
query: {
current_title: ["VP of Sales"],
current_employer: ["Stripe"]
},
page_size: 5,
order_by: "popularity"
})
}
);
const data = await response.json();
console.log(data);The mppx client handles the 402 challenge, signs a credential with your wallet, and retries with proof of payment.
Data Coverage
RocketReach covers 700M+ professional profiles and 35M companies. People search can filter by names, titles, employers, locations, keywords, and other profile fields. Company search can filter by domains, industries, geographies, employee counts, descriptions, and related company attributes.
For contact enrichment, RocketReach supports identifiers like email, phone, LinkedIn URL, RocketReach profile ID, and name plus employer. That makes it useful both for net-new prospecting and for filling gaps in existing CRM records.
