The Hog
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.
The Hog publishes 8 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Company Search API, Deep Research API, Enrichments API, and 5 more. Tagged areas include Company, GTM Intelligence, Sales Intelligence, Data Enrichment, and Web Scraping.
The Hog’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, engineering blog, pricing, signup flow, authentication, and 18 more developer resources.
