name: The Hog
description: The Hog is a real-time web intelligence API for AI agents and go-to-market teams, founded in 2025 (Y Combinator
  F25) by Hudson Liao and Paulo Nascimento in San Francisco. One credit-based REST API unifies company and people search,
  contact enrichment, LLM-powered deep research, multi-platform web and social scraping (LinkedIn, X, Reddit, Instagram, TikTok,
  YouTube, Facebook), SEO intelligence, and recurring signal monitors. Fast calls return synchronously; long-running jobs
  run asynchronously with polling, organization-scoped idempotency keys, cursor pagination, request-id tracing, and a consistent
  JSON error envelope. A hosted OAuth MCP server and a local stdio MCP package expose the same capabilities to agents.
