# Data Sources

> Focused provider endpoints for LinkedIn, email, phone, and company data lookups.

# Data Sources

Data Sources are focused endpoints for **single-purpose lookups and enrichments**.

Instead of running a broad research workflow, you call a specific source operation and get a targeted result back.

## What Data Sources are for

Use Data Sources when you need:

* a specific LinkedIn lookup
* email enrichment or validation
* professional email discovery
* phone enrichment
* Crunchbase company data

These endpoints are ideal for product features that need a narrow, predictable result from a known provider category.

## Current source categories

### LinkedIn

NeuralVerge supports LinkedIn workflows such as:

* profile + email lookup
* profile lookup by domain and full name
* company search
* people search
* company employee search

### Email

Email-focused endpoints include:

* email enrichment
* email validation
* email finder

### Phone

Phone-focused endpoints include:

* phone enrichment
* US phone enrichment

### Company data

Company-focused endpoints include:

* Crunchbase company lookup

## Typical output model

Most Data Source responses include:

* a `human` summary for UI display
* a `machine` object with structured provider results
* `total_points` for usage tracking
* a `session_id` when the run is tracked asynchronously

## When to choose Data Sources

Choose Data Sources when:

* the lookup target is already known
* you need a narrow endpoint instead of a full workflow
* you want fast provider-specific enrichment
* the output shape should stay focused and predictable

Use [AI Research](./ai-research) when you need exploration and synthesis across many sources.

Use [AI Extract](./ai-extract) when you need schema-based extraction from known content.

## Common product uses

Teams often use Data Sources for:

* lead enrichment
* account research
* contact verification
* company profile resolution
* CRM automation
* outbound workflow support
