OpenAPI Specification

openapi: 3.2.0
info:
  version: '1.0'
  title: B2B Reference Tables API
  description: 'The B2B API provides access to endpoints for searching, retrieving, and matching company and contact data.


    It includes support for:

    - **Company records:** Firmographic details, news, technologies, and more.

    - **Contact records:** Current role, employment history, and professional details.

    - **Demandbase Person profiles:** Persistent identities tied to individuals across multiple roles or companies.

    - **Subscriptions:** Monitoring updates to companies and DB Person records.

    ## Authentication

    All requests to the B2B API must be authenticated using a valid API token. If authentication fails, the API will respond with a `401 Unauthorized` status code.

    ### Obtaining an API Token

    For instructions on generating API tokens, see the [Generate and Manage API Key Set](https://support.demandbase.com/hc/en-us/articles/38999526296603-Generate-and-Manage-API-Key-Set) article at the Demandbase Help Center.

    ### Authorization Header

    Include your API token in the `Authorization` header of each request using the Bearer token scheme. Also set the `Content-Type` header to `application/json` when sending JSON payloads.

    #### Example

    ```

    Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY_HERE

    Content-Type: application/json

    ```


    > **Note:** Tokens should be treated as sensitive credentials. Do not expose them in public code repositories or client-side applications.'
