Perplexity

Claude Code runs ContactOut tools

Use `find_linkedin_by_email` in your shell scripts to map users. Claude Code processes the output for your pipeline. It chains `enrich_contact` for automated list building. You get clean data piped directly into your next process.

Terminal-based company lookups

Call `search_companies` from the command line to feed your CI/CD tasks. Claude Code returns the results as structured text. It follows up with `enrich_company` to gather specific firm details. This keeps your data gathering fully automated.

Manage your ContactOut usage

Run `get_api_usage` to verify your account status from the terminal. Claude Code prints the current stats to stdout. This makes it easy to add a check before starting a large job. You avoid unexpected failures in your scripts.
