Credits

Dropcontact uses a credit-based system:

• Credits are tracked by Cargo

Caching is supported to avoid duplicate lookups for the same contact.

Rate limits

Dropcontact API has a rate limit of 60 requests per minute. The integration includes automatic retry logic with exponential backoff for reliability.

Best practices

• Provide as much identifying information as possible for higher match rates
• Use caching to optimize credit usage
• Combine with other enrichment sources for better coverage
• Company domain often yields better results than company name alone
• LinkedIn URL provides the most reliable matching
