PyHunter

A Python wrapper for the Hunter.io v2 API

Installation

Requirements:

• Python 3 (no Python 2 version)

To install:

pip install pyhunter

Usage

PyHunter supports all the methods from the Hunter.io v2 API:

• domain_search
• email_finder
• email_verifier
• email_count
• account_information

PyHunter also supports new methods from the Leads and Leads Lists APIs.

How to use PyHunter

Import the PyHunter and instantiate it:

from pyhunter import PyHunter

hunter = PyHunter('my_hunter_api_key')

You can search all the email addresses for a given domain:

hunter.domain_search('instagram.com')

You can also pass the company name, along with optional parameters:

hunter.domain_search(company='Instagram', limit=5, offset=2, emails_type='personal')

You can find a specific email address:

email, confidence_score = hunter.email_finder('instagram.com', first_name='Kevin', last_name='Systrom')

You can also use the company name and the full name instead, along with raw to get the full response:

hunter.email_finder(company='Instagram', full_name='Kevin Systrom', raw=True)

You can check the deliverability of a given email address:

hunter.email_verifier('[email protected]')

You can check how many email addresses Hunter has for a given domain:

hunter.email_count('instagram.com')

You can also use a company name if the domain is unknown::

hunter.email_count(company='Instagram')

When both domain and company are passed, the domain will be used:

hunter.email_count(domain='instagram.com', company='Instagram')

And you can finally check your account information (PyHunter adds the number of calls still available in the payload):

hunter.account_information()

NOTE: By default, all of the calls (except email_verifier()) return the 'data' element of the JSON response. You can get the "raw" response by passing raw=True to those calls. This gives access to the response headers, e.g. X-RateLimit-Remaining returned for the domain_search() call, and also the complete response body, including meta.

But that's not all folks! As the v2 API added Leads and Leads Lists, these methods are also available on PyHunter

Leads methods

You can get all your leads:

hunter.get_leads()

Or filter the leads you want using these arguments:

hunter.get_leads(offset=2, limit=10, lead_list_id=1, first_name='Kevin', last_name='Systrom', email='[email protected]', company='Instagram', phone_number='0102030405', twitter='kevin')

You can also get a specific lead by giving its id:

hunter.get_lead(42)

You can create a lead:

hunter.create_lead('Quentin', 'Durantay', email='[email protected]', position='CEO', company='Unicorn Consulting', company_size=10, confidence_score=100, website='unicornsaregreat.io', contry_code='FR', postal_code=75000, source='theinternet.com', linkedin_url='www.linkedin.com/in/masteroftheuniverse', phone_number='0102030405', twitter='quentindty', leads_list_id=1)

You can update a lead by giving its id and the parameters to change (same as creation):

hunter.update_lead(1, position='CEO in chief')

And you can also delete a lead by giving its id:

hunter.delete_lead(42)

Leads Lists methods

You can get all your Leads Lists:

hunter.get_leads_lists()

And filter the results with these arguments:

hunter.get_leads_lists(offset=3, limit=2)

You can get a specific Leads List by giving its id:

hunter.get_leads_list(42)

You can create a Leads Lists:

hunter.create_leads_list('Ultra hot prospects', team_id=1)

You can update a Leads List by giving its id:

hunter.update_leads_list(42, 'Ultra mega hot prospects', team_id=2)

And you can finally delete a Leads Lists by giving its id:

hunter.delete_leads_list(42)
