Questions about Hunter.
The practical details behind the request, access and result.

Yes, it can find professional email addresses for any company domain you provide. It helps you map out who works at a business without you having to search manually.
How does it help with lead generation?
It automates the research phase. You can ask your agent to find all emails at a company and then save them into organized lists for your outreach campaigns.
Can it verify if an email is safe to send?
Yes, it checks if an email address is valid and deliverable. This helps keep your sender reputation high by ensuring you don't send messages to dead accounts.
Does it work for personal emails?
No, this Connector is designed for professional B2B email discovery. It focuses on work addresses and company domains rather than personal accounts like Gmail.

Can I see my active campaigns?
Yes, you can view all your current and past campaigns directly through your agent. This lets you see which recipients are included in your active blasts.
How do I get my Hunter.io API key?
Log in to your Hunter.io account at hunter.io. In the left sidebar, click the API section (or go directly to hunter.io/api-keys). Your API key is displayed on this page. Click the copy button to copy it. Paste it into the configuration field below. Free plans include 25 searches and 50 verifications per month.
Can I find the email of a specific person at a company?
Yes. Give your AI agent a person's first name, last name, and company domain, and it returns their most likely professional email address with a confidence score. Perfect for reaching out to specific decision-makers.
How accurate is the email verification?
Hunter's verification checks MX records, SMTP responses, and catch-all configurations. returning a status of 'valid', 'invalid', 'accept_all', or 'unknown'. Valid emails have over 95% deliverability. Always verify before sending cold outreach to protect your sender reputation.
Does it work with free plans?
Yes. Hunter offers a free plan with 25 email searches and 50 verifications per month. The API key works the same regardless of plan. the only difference is quota limits. Upgrade to a paid plan for higher volumes.
Can I find all professional email addresses for a specific company?
Yes. Use search_domain_emails with a domain (e.g., 'stripe.com') or company name (e.g., 'Stripe') to retrieve all professional emails found for that organization. Each result includes the email, confidence score, position, and source URLs. Use get_domain_email_count to preview how many emails are available before using search credits.
Can I verify if an email address is valid before sending outreach?
Yes. The verify_email_address capability checks the validity and deliverability of any email address. It returns a status (deliverable, undeliverable, risky, unknown), confidence score, and details about the email server (MX records, SMTP check, accept-all detection). This prevents bounces and protects your sender reputation.
How does Hunter API authentication work?
Hunter uses an API Key passed as a query parameter (?api_key=YOUR_KEY) in all requests to api.hunter.io/v2. This differs from the typical Bearer token pattern. Your API key is available in the Hunter dashboard under Account > API. Free accounts include 25 searches and 50 verifications per month.
