pyhunter 2.1.0

An (unofficial) Python wrapper for the Hunter.io API

PyHunter

A Python wrapper for the Hunter.io v2 API

Installation

Requirements:

• Python 3 (no Python 2 version)

To install:

pip install pyhunter

For async support:

pip install "pyhunter[test]"

Usage

Import the PyHunter and instantiate it:

from pyhunter import PyHunter

hunter = PyHunter('my_hunter_api_key')

You can configure transport behavior:

hunter = PyHunter(
    'my_hunter_api_key',
    timeout=10,
    max_retries=2,
    retry_backoff=0.5,
)

Async Usage

from pyhunter import AsyncPyHunter

async with AsyncPyHunter('my_hunter_api_key') as hunter:
    result = await hunter.domain_search('instagram.com')

For long-lived clients:

hunter = AsyncPyHunter('my_hunter_api_key')
try:
    data = await hunter.email_count('instagram.com')
finally:
    await hunter.aclose()

---

Domain Search

Search all email addresses for a given domain:

hunter.domain_search('instagram.com')

Pass the company name instead, along with optional filters:

hunter.domain_search(
    company='Instagram',
    limit=5,
    offset=2,
    emails_type='personal',
    seniority='senior,executive',
    department='sales,marketing',
    required_field='full_name',
    verification_status='valid',
)

---

Email Finder

Find a specific person's email address:

email, confidence_score = hunter.email_finder('instagram.com', first_name='Kevin', last_name='Systrom')

Use the company name, full name, or LinkedIn handle instead:

hunter.email_finder(company='Instagram', full_name='Kevin Systrom', raw=True)

hunter.email_finder(linkedin_handle='kevinsystrom', max_duration=15)

---

Email Verifier

Check the deliverability of an email address:

hunter.email_verifier('[e-mail]')

---

Email Count

Check how many email addresses Hunter has for a given domain:

hunter.email_count('instagram.com')
# or by company name
hunter.email_count(company='Instagram')

---

Account Information

Check your account information and remaining API calls:

hunter.account_information()

PyHunter adds a calls['left'] field to the response with the number of API calls still available.

---

NOTE: By default, all calls return the data element of the JSON response. Pass raw=True to get the full HTTP response object, including headers (e.g. X-RateLimit-Remaining) and the complete response body including meta.

Transport and HTTP failures raise typed exceptions:

• HunterTransportError for connectivity/timeouts
• HunterApiError for non-2xx and malformed API payloads

---

Enrichment

Look up all information about a person from their email or LinkedIn handle:

hunter.email_enrichment(email='[e-mail]')
hunter.email_enrichment(linkedin_handle='kevinsystrom')

Look up all information about a company from its domain:

hunter.company_enrichment('instagram.com')

Get combined person + company information in one call:

hunter.combined_enrichment('[e-mail]')

All enrichment methods accept a clearbit_format=True parameter to return data in Clearbit-compatible format.

---

Discover

Find companies matching a set of criteria:

hunter.discover(query='Tech companies in Europe')

hunter.discover(
    industry={'include': ['Technology', 'Software']},
    headcount=['51-200', '201-500'],
    headquarters_location={'include': [{'country': 'France'}]},
    limit=50,
)

---
