Huntr is API-native — use it as an HTTP enrichment source in Clay without moving your workflow into another platform.

HTTP API column setup
- Add an HTTP API enrichment column in Clay
- Set method to
POST
- URL:
https://api.tryhuntr.com/{endpoint} (e.g. /person-email)
- Headers:
x-api-key: {{your_huntr_key}}
- Body: JSON with Clay
{{column}} references
Example body for email finding:
{
"first_name": "{{first_name}}",
"last_name": "{{last_name}}",
"company_domain": "{{domain}}"
}
Research columns
For narrative account briefs, call /research with a prompt that includes Clay fields:
{
"prompt": "We sell {{your_product}}. Research {{company_name}} ({{domain}}) for buying signals from the last 12 months and practical outreach angles.",
"tier": "standard"
}
Map the result field into your table.
Do not run /research on every row for bulk email finding — use /person-email per row instead. /research is for one-off synthesis.
Compare to Claygent
Huntr is built as an intelligence API (REST + MCP), not a Clay-only agent. You get the same research capabilities in n8n, your product, or Cursor — with per-request pricing and no workspace lock-in.
