Bombora

Bombora is a New York-based B2B data company that provides intent data and identity solutions used by marketing, sales, and ad-tech teams to identify in-market accounts and personalize outreach. Its flagship product, Company Surge, aggregates anonymous content-consumption signals from a cooperative of more than 5,000 B2B publishers and scores accounts against 18,000+ B2B intent topics to surface organizations actively researching specific products, services, and categories. Beyond Company Surge, Bombora offers Identity and Enrichment for first-party visitor resolution, Digital Audiences for activation across DSPs and walled gardens, Campaign Measurement for B2B attribution, and an Insights Suite that combines intent, visitor, and engagement signals. Bombora runs an Apigee Integrated Developer Portal at developer.bombora.com that publishes six OpenAPI 3.0 documents anonymously — Intent, Reference, Account List, Digital Audience Builder, Webhooks, and Authentication — covering 54 operations on api.bombora.com, all secured with OAuth 2.0 client credentials exchanged for a bearer JWT at POST /oauth/token. A separate legacy partner Company Surge API (v4) runs on sentry.bombora.com with HTTP Basic auth and a documented 60 calls-per-minute-per-endpoint limit. Credentials are not self-service: the portal is SAML-only and restricted to existing Bombora customers, the Intent and Digital Audience products require manual per-application approval, and no pricing is published — commercial access is sold via annual contracts. Bombora integrates broadly with the B2B revenue stack, including Salesforce, HubSpot, LinkedIn, 6sense, Demandbase, Apollo, ZoomInfo, Dun and Bradstreet, Snowflake, and Adobe Experience Platform, and is profiled here for its role as the dominant supplier of cooperative-sourced B2B intent data.

Bombora publishes 6 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Authentication API, Intent API, Account List API, and 3 more. Tagged areas include Intent Data, B2B Intent, Company Surge, Account Based Marketing, and Sales Intelligence.

The Bombora catalog on APIs.io includes 1 event-driven AsyncAPI specification.

Bombora’s developer surface includes authentication, privacy policy, YouTube channel, engineering blog, changelog, documentation, API reference, and 34 more developer resources.
