DATA
Fields come from registries, postal authorities, and statistics agencies. Sources refresh on a schedule, so what comes back is current.
DEEP DATA
Every endpoint returns a full, real response, even on Free. Add one parameter on a paid plan and get the same response back, plus a nested deep object with the richer fields (datacenter flags, deliverability, DNS records). Nothing to re-integrate when you upgrade. Same route. Same fields. You opt in only when you need it.

Drop a spreadsheet. It detects every column we have an API for (emails, phone numbers, IPs, postal codes) and writes the answers in new columns beside them. Priced per column. Junk is free.

Auth, errors, and docs. All exactly where you'd look for them.
X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEYX-API-Key or Authorization: Bearer. Same key, either header. Copy it in and start calling.
{ code, message, docs, request_id }Every failure returns the same shape: a code, a message, a link to the exact fix, and a request ID to trace it.
/docs#not_foundEvery field explained. Every error paired with the fix, so the next step is always obvious.
PLANS
Free is real enough to build on. Start is $20/mo for 1M requests, Pro is $100/mo for 10M. No per-seat billing, ever.
WHY
An API should feel native. Built into your stack, not bolted onto it.
That's worth arguing about a single field name for a week before we ship it. We use parseAPI every day ourselves, so it has to be good, not just correct, with docs that tell the truth and a free tier real enough to build on.
