Cognism is a B2B sales intelligence platform selling verified emails, mobile numbers, direct dials, firmographic and technographic data, buying-intent signals and contact enrichment to sales, marketing and RevOps teams, with a compliance-first posture built around GDPR and CCPA. Its API is a three-service REST contract published as a Postman collection at developers.cognism.com — a Search API for finding contacts and companies by filter, an Enrich API for matching records you already hold, and a Redeem API for exchanging the resulting redeem ID for the full profile. Search and Enrich return preview records and cost nothing; credits are consumed only when a contact is redeemed for the first time. A Compliance API exposes the opt-out suppression list, and an Entitlement API reports which fields the account is licensed to receive. API access is sales-gated: it must be enabled on the subscription, field-level entitlements provisioned by Cognism, and a six-month bearer token generated in the application.
