Overview

Reverse Email Lookup transforms any email address into a complete person and company profile via the FullEnrich API.

It allows you to input an email address and retrieve the B2B profile behind it, including both personal and company-level information. This functionality is available through the API only.

Reverse Email Lookup works with both professional and personal email addresses (Gmail, Outlook, GitHub, and more).


What you get

Person data

  • First name

  • Last name

  • Job title

  • Seniority

  • Department

  • Location

Company data

  • Company name

  • Company domain

  • Company size

  • Industry

  • Headquarters location

  • Headcount


How it Works

Input

  • An email address (personal or professional)

Output

  • Person data (first name, last name, location)

  • Professional data (job title, seniority, department, associated company/companies)

  • Firmographic data (company name, company domain, company size, industry, headquarters location, headcount)


Credit Cost

  • 1 credit is consumed per successful Reverse Email Lookup

  • No credits are consumed if no results are found

  • Credit cost is the same regardless of how many fields are returned


Using the API

The API process is asynchronous and happens in two steps.

1. Start the lookup

Make a POST request to initiate the enrichment:

POST https://app.fullenrich.com/api/v1/contact/reverse/email/bulk
  • Include your Authorization header with a Bearer token

  • Add the email address in the data field

  • (Optional) Provide a webhook URL to receive notifications

The response will return a reverse_email_id.

Processing typically takes 5–10 seconds.

2. Retrieve the results

Use the returned ID to fetch the enrichment results:

GET https://app.fullenrich.com/api/v1/contact/reverse/email/bulk/{reverse_email_id}

When the status is FINISHED, the lookup is complete and results are available.


Key details

  • Cost: 1 credit per successful match

  • Match rate: Varies depending on region and email type

  • Processing time: 5–10 seconds on average

  • Data: Emails are run through a waterfall of 10+ data providers and contact databases


Important notes

  • Reverse lookup from a phone number to an identity is not supported

  • Data availability depends on region, email type, and source coverage
