NetProspex, a provider of verified, crowd-sourced business contact data services has announced the availability of its Data Cloud API (application programming interface), a set of developer tools providing real-time access to millions of crowd-sourced business contacts validated by proprietary CleneStep™ verification.

NetProspex's Data Cloud API is designed to return company and contact information for business professionals from an array of customizable API calls. By submitting information such as email address or company name into a data field, key contact and company information including title, phone number, address, industry, Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) code, or revenue can be obtained in real-time as individual contacts or in lists. Developers can also integrate NetProspex's targeted list builder functionality into their products, returning customized prospect lists from key search criteria.

Custom API integrations of NetProspex contact information into partner workflows were recognized at the 2012 CODiE Awards from the SIIA, winning "Best Solution Integrating Content into Workflow." The NetProspex solution was awarded for its accessibility, business impact, depth-of-coverage, personalization, and usability.

Other partners currently leveraging real-time access include CRM provider Landslide, big data marketing firm Inflection, mobile advertising company VoodooVox, and B2B web analytics platform Visistat.
