NinjaPear
NinjaPear is a B2B data API from Nubela, the Singapore company that ran Proxycurl until it shut that service in July 2025 under a settlement with LinkedIn. It answers questions about companies and the people who work at them: company details, headcount, funding, updates and search, person profiles, employee search and work email lookup, plus two less common endpoints that list a company's customers, investors and partners, and its competitors with the reason each one overlaps.
Data is enriched live on each request from company websites, press releases, public filings and open directories, with an optional cache of up to 29 days, and the company states that it no longer scrapes LinkedIn or any professional network. Work emails come from public data or known company patterns. Company Monitor tracks a company's blog, website, X and YouTube and uses a language model to flag noteworthy changes, delivered by dashboard, RSS or Slack, and Prospector is a spreadsheet for building and enriching lists with CSV and Excel export.
Developers reach it through a REST API with an OpenAPI specification, Python and JavaScript SDKs and an MCP server for Claude, ChatGPT and other agents, at 50 requests a minute, while native CRM connections and webhooks are not offered. Pricing runs on credits, from a $10 starter pack to subscriptions of $49 to $1,899 a month on a 12 month commitment, with each call's credit cost listed, such as three credits for company details and two for a found work email. NinjaPear is built by Nubela's founder, Steven Goh, without outside investment.

A language model decides which changes Company Monitor flags as noteworthy, and work email lookups combine live scraping with model calls on each request. The rest of the product is a data API and a spreadsheet: company, people, customer and competitor lookups that would work much the same without the models.
The product mostly answers lookups, but the MCP server gives AI agents write tools as well as read tools, letting them create monitoring feeds, add targets and consume feeds. Which permissions an agent holds, and how a customer limits its spending of credits, are not described.
The model that classifies monitored changes and assists work email lookups is not named, beyond the founder's reference to OpenRouter as a running cost. What makes a change noteworthy, and how a found email is judged likely to be correct, are not explained.
Self reported fill rates put company details at 99.8 percent, person profiles at 63 percent and work email near 90 percent, with no method. A launch test of the work email endpoint returned an address for 13 of 20 lookups in about nine seconds each, with accuracy not measured. Logos such as IBM, HP and Salesforce belong to customers of products the team has built over the years, reaching back to Proxycurl, rather than to NinjaPear itself.
NinjaPear does not send outreach. It describes itself as compliant with the CCPA and the GDPR, but offers no route for the people in its data to opt out or be suppressed, and its terms leave the use of looked up emails and profiles to the customer.
NinjaPear Pte Ltd in Singapore covers website users in its privacy terms and has not updated them since 2022. Nothing addresses the people whose profiles and work emails the API returns: no lawful basis or data subject rights are stated, transfers rely on consent, and no DPA or subprocessor list is offered, on a product that processes personal data at scale.
Company and people data is gathered live from company websites, press releases, public filings and open directories, and the company holds a zero LinkedIn data posture covering collection, training and development databases. Work emails come from public data or known company patterns. Where person profiles come from after the Proxycurl settlement is not set out source by source, and the contract terms still describe the data as Proxycurl's professional social network API.
LinkedIn sued Nubela and Proxycurl in January 2025, and the settlement, entered as a permanent injunction, required Proxycurl to delete LinkedIn data, stop accessing LinkedIn and close in July 2025. NinjaPear does not scrape LinkedIn or any professional network, parses social profile links without visiting them, and collects from company websites and public sources instead. Its contract terms still describe the old professional social network service.
The founder states that no LinkedIn content appears in any training set, but whether customer queries or results train models is not addressed. Personal data is kept for as long as necessary, with no retention period or deletion terms.
NinjaPear sends nothing to prospects, and nothing describes notice to the people whose profiles and work emails it returns to customers. A lookup service of this kind sits largely outside Article 50 of the EU AI Act, and no position on it is taken.
A REST API with bearer authentication, an OpenAPI specification, a machine readable guide for agents, Python and JavaScript SDKs and an MCP server for Claude, ChatGPT, Codex and OpenCode make it straightforward to build on, with a limit of 50 requests a minute. Native CRM connections, webhooks and a Google Sheets add on are not offered, and HubSpot, Salesforce and Attio appear only as export destinations.
By the founder's own account, the service runs on a two node Kubernetes cluster built from an Intel NUC and a Framework desktop at home. Regions, the country where data is stored and any residency choice are not stated.
SOC 2 certification is in progress, and NinjaPear offers no audit report, trust center or statement of security practice, on a service that returns personal profiles and work emails at scale.
Every call's credit cost is listed, from three credits for company details and person profiles to two for a found work email, half a credit for a miss and two per competitor returned, and failed requests are free. Pay as you go starts with a $10 pack valid for 30 days, larger packs last 90 days, and subscriptions cost $49, $299, $899 or $1,899 a month, with extra credits at $0.009 on the top plan. Credits included with each subscription are not shown.
Monthly and annual plans both carry a 12 month commitment, and cancelling early means paying the remaining months, while subscription credits expire each cycle. Prospector exports lists to CSV and Excel. Refunds, rights to retain looked up data after termination and deletion terms are not stated.
NinjaPear does not send email. Work email results are verified only when they are trivially verifiable, with no bounce rate guarantee, and a free disposable email checker is offered alongside.
NinjaPear sells to sales and go to market teams, recruiters, venture investors, data enrichment buyers, competitive intelligence teams and AI agent builders, which spans most data buyers. It operates in ten languages, but geographic coverage of the data and current customers are not stated.
