ZoomInfo API

B2B Sales Intelligence · zoominfo.com

ZoomInfo's API is REST and JSON with JWT auth, covering contact and company search, enrichment, intent, scoops, technographics, and bulk operations. Access is no longer strictly contract gated: ZoomInfo documents a free self-serve Builder Portal in GTM AI for users without an active subscription, and the GTM AI pricing page advertises free signup with no credit card plus pay as you go from $20 for API, MCP, and CLI access. Usage remains credit metered with per second rate caps, and high volume production work still runs on paid enterprise terms.

SCORECARD

ExistenceGOODA documented REST API for GTM data, published at docs.zoominfo.com, with the legacy api-docs portal being retired. See https://docs.zoominfo.com/docs/general-overview
AccessGOODAccess improved: ZoomInfo now documents a free self-serve Builder Portal in GTM AI for users without an active subscription, and gtm.ai/pricing advertises free signup with no credit card plus pay as you go from $20, covering API, MCP, and CLI access. Larger production usage still runs through paid enterprise contracts and credit metering. Sources: https://help.zoominfo.com/s/article/Overview-of-the-Builder-Portal-in-GTM-AI and https://gtm.ai/pricing
CoverageGOODContact and company search plus enrichment, intent, scoops, technographics, and bulk operations, per https://docs.zoominfo.com/docs/general-overview
AuthGOODJWT based authentication against the documented authenticate endpoint; credentials are issued to enterprise accounts and, per the Builder Portal docs, to self-serve builder accounts.
Docs & DXGOODCurrent docs live at docs.zoominfo.com with documented credit usage and rate limits, default 25 req/sec and higher on premium tiers. Credit usage rules are published at https://docs.zoominfo.com/docs/credit-usage-and-limits
StabilityGOODActive migration from the legacy api-docs.zoominfo.com surface to the current docs.zoominfo.com APIs means integrators face deprecation work, but versioning and deprecation are documented.
MCPGOODZoomInfo maintains an official MCP plugin under its GitHub org that connects clients to its hosted server at mcp.zoominfo.com, with setup instructions for Claude, Codex, and Cursor and OAuth sign-in. The repo shows commits as recent as August 2026 and covers company and contact search, enrichment, and lead scoring. github.com VERIFIED 2026-08
