FAQ

What input? A list of /in/<vanity> URLs or handles in profiles.

Why fewer fields sometimes? This is cookieless (no login). OPEN profiles return full experience; a locked profile returns identity + current-company only — reported honestly, never fabricated.

One billed result? One profile = one result at $0.90 / 1,000.
