1. Sign up
Log in at datacircle.dev/login with your work email (freemail addresses are refused). You start with a $5 credit (see Balance and credits). Your API key is on the page once you’re in. Reset it from the API:2. Spend your balance
Your balance pays for provider data. Same request, same price, no markup: Send the provider’s own request toapi.datacircle.dev, with your key and X-Data-Provider:
datacircle_meta: cost_usd (what this call cost) and balance_usd (what you have left). With an empty balance you get a 402. HarvestAPI and Fetchin work the same way, on their own GET /linkedin/profile?url=... with X-Data-Provider: harvestapi and GET /api/v1/profile?profileUrlOrUrn=... with X-Data-Provider: fetchin: see LinkedIn Profile API.
3. Get the flat file
Add $50 to your account: you get $50 of API PLUS the flat file. Credits don’t count toward the $50 (see Adding funds). The flat file is one co-op file per provider (coop_up2data, coop_harvestapi, coop_fetchin), new every day. GET /files/ lists them, each with is_unlocked. Once is_unlocked is true, ask for a download link: a URL valid for one hour. Before that, you get a 403.
