Using API Integrations Without Individual Accounts: Best Practices for Cost-Effective Solutions

ยท

Probably a beginner question: but are we required to have accounts and API keys for all integrations? Let's say I don't have an account with People Data Labs, can I use Clay's credits to get an email from PDL? If I can do both, what is the best practice, and/or cheaper option?

    Hey there Amit sorry for the delay, accounts and API keys are not necessary for all integrations, you will be able to use Clay's API keys but will be charged credits for them. As for best practice/ cheaper option, that depends on the plans of the API keys and the rates you want. A heads up though there are certain integrations that if you use Clay's keys you will be refunded if not data is found, but when using the actual providers API key you will not be refunded.
