For Agents
Look up company firmographic data including revenue, founders, industry, and employee count via single or bulk CSV searches.
Use for: I need to look up company information by name, I want to enrich a list of companies with firmographic data, Search for company revenue and employee count, Get company founders and industry classification
Not supported: Does not handle contact-level enrichment, email verification, or technographic data -- use for company firmographic lookups only.
The Powrbot API provides company data automation through single and bulk search capabilities. It returns firmographic data including revenue, founders, industry, founding year, headquarters, employee count, and website for any company name. Bulk searches accept CSV uploads with callback notifications and downloadable result files.
Install Jentic One Beta
Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the Powrbot API, or any other public or private API you need. You set the rules, the agent never sees your credentials, and every call is logged.
Two steps, two machines. Install the instance in a safe environment, then register your agent from wherever it runs.
Step 1: Jentic One Host machine
# On the machine that will host your Jentic One instance:
curl -fsSL "https://jentic.com/install.sh?src=apis&api=%2Fapis%2Fpowrbot.com%2Fpowrbot" | shStep 2: Agent machine
# On the machine where your agent runs (keep this separate from the instance):
curl -fsSL "https://jentic.com/install.sh?src=apis&api=%2Fapis%2Fpowrbot.com%2Fpowrbot" | sh
jentic register # connects your agent to your Jentic One instanceJentic One is in public beta. The setup above keeps your agent separate from the instance, which is what you want before using real credentials: an agent running as the same OS user as Jentic One can read its stored keys directly. Just evaluating? A single local install is fine to start. See the secure deployment guide for the tiers.
What an agent can do with Powrbot API.
Look up company revenue, founders, and industry by name in a single request
Upload CSV files containing company names for batch enrichment
Track bulk search completion status and receive callback notifications
Download enriched company data as CSV for import into other systems
Retrieve historical search metadata including counts and timestamps
Patterns agents use Powrbot API for, with concrete tasks.
★ Sales Lead Enrichment
Enrich sales leads with company firmographic data by passing company names through the Powrbot single search endpoint. The API returns revenue, industry, employee count, and headquarters location, enabling sales teams to prioritize outreach based on company size and segment without manual research.
Search for company 'Acme Corp' via GET /search/single/?company=Acme+Corp and extract revenue and employee count from the response
Bulk Prospect List Enrichment
Upload a CSV file containing hundreds of company names and receive enriched firmographic data for the entire list. Powrbot processes the batch asynchronously and sends a callback notification when complete. The enriched CSV includes revenue, founders, industry, and employee data for each company.
Upload a CSV file with 50 company names via POST /search/ with a callback URL, then poll GET /search/{searchId} until is_completed is true, and download results via /search/{searchId}/download
Competitive Intelligence Gathering
Gather competitor data by searching for specific companies and extracting their revenue, founding year, and industry classification. The API pulls data from public sources to provide a snapshot of competitor positioning without requiring subscription to multiple data providers.
Search for 'Competitor Inc' via GET /search/single/?company=Competitor+Inc and compare returned revenue and employee count against target benchmarks
AI Agent Company Research via Jentic
Enable AI agents to research companies on demand through Jentic by searching for company enrichment operations, loading the Powrbot schema, and executing lookups. Agents can answer user questions about company size, industry, or leadership without hardcoded API credentials.
Search Jentic for 'look up company data by name', load the Powrbot search operation schema, and execute a single company lookup for the requested company

What agents get from Jentic-routed access to this vendor.
Setup
Wiring the Powrbot API by hand means formatting your secret key into the Authorization header as 'secret-key <key>' against powrbot.com/api/v1 and polling search ids for bulk results yourself. Through Jentic you install once, import the Powrbot API from the API Directory, store the API key once, and your agent calls it.
Permission scoping
Powrbot takes the company query in the request body or query string rather than as a path resource, so scoping is by operation: you limit the agent to the operations it needs, such as single company lookup or starting a bulk search. Downloading a completed search result is included only if you add that operation.
Credential isolation
Your Powrbot secret key is stored once, encrypted, by your own Jentic One instance and injected at execution time. It never enters the agent's prompt, logs, or context.
Intent-based discovery
Agents search Jentic by intent such as 'look up company revenue' or 'run a bulk company search', and Jentic returns the matching Powrbot operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs.

Specific to using Powrbot API through Jentic.
What authentication does the Powrbot API use?
The Powrbot API uses API key authentication passed in the Authorization header with the format 'secret-key <your-secret-key>'. Through Jentic, this key is stored encrypted in the credential vault and agents receive scoped access without handling the raw secret.
Can I search for multiple companies at once with the Powrbot API?
Yes. The POST /search/ endpoint accepts a CSV file upload containing company names for bulk processing. You can include a callback_url parameter to receive a notification when the batch completes. Results are then available for download as CSV via the /search/{searchId}/download endpoint.
What company data fields does Powrbot return?
Powrbot returns company name, revenue, founders, industry, founding year, headquarters location, number of employees, and website URL. The data is sourced from public information including Wikipedia and other aggregated sources.
What are the rate limits for the Powrbot API?
Rate limits depend on your Powrbot subscription plan. The API returns standard HTTP 429 responses when limits are exceeded. Check your plan details at powrbot.com for specific request-per-minute allowances.
How do I look up company data through Jentic?
Install the Jentic SDK with pip install jentic, then search for 'look up company data by name'. Jentic returns the Powrbot GET /search/single/ operation with its schema. Pass the company name as the company query parameter to retrieve firmographic data.
