# rocketreach — Python bindings for RocketReach API

License: unclear · Maintenance: active · Downloads: 168.7K/mo

## What it is and what it does

This package provides a Python wrapper around the RocketReach API, a business contact and employment data service. It abstracts HTTP calls into a fluent object model, letting you search for people by employer and job title, look up individuals by ID or LinkedIn URL, and check the status of asynchronous lookups. The library handles gateway configuration (production or sandbox environment), request execution, and result parsing.

Typical workflows involve instantiating a Gateway with your API key, building search filters or lookup requests, executing them, and iterating over results. The lookup API is asynchronous by default—you can block until completion or poll status manually. The package depends only on requests for HTTP transport, keeping the installation footprint minimal.

Use it for:

- Bulk enrich a CSV of names and companies with contact information by iterating over rows and calling person.lookup().
- Search for decision-makers at a target company by filtering on current_employer and current_title, then paginate results.
- Build a lead-generation workflow that looks up LinkedIn profiles and polls checkStatus() until contact details are available.
- Integrate contact data into a CRM or sales tool by fetching person records and extracting email, phone, and social profiles.
- Validate or supplement employee records in an HR system by searching RocketReach for matching individuals.

## Worth the install?

AI-flagged interpretation of the facts above — verify before relying.

Python client library for the RocketReach API, enabling programmatic person and company lookups, searches, and contact information retrieval.

Yes, if you have a valid RocketReach API key and need programmatic access to their contact database. The library is actively maintained, has low install friction, and no known vulnerabilities. However, verify the license terms first (they are not declared in the package metadata) and be aware that API calls will incur charges. Not suitable if you need a free contact enrichment tool.

## Install

pip install rocketreach
uv add rocketreach
poetry add rocketreach

## Installing rocketreach

Before you install: Low install friction with a single runtime dependency (requests). Active maintenance with recent commits; last release was 506 days ago and the repository remains actively developed.

License in practice: License status is unclear—no SPDX identifier or raw license text is available in the package metadata. Verify the actual license terms before use, especially in commercial contexts.

Quickstart:

pip install rocketreach

import rocketreach
rr = rocketreach.Gateway(api_key='your-api-key')
result = rr.person.search().filter(current_employer='Acme', current_title='CEO').execute()
for person in result.people:
    print(person)

Requires a valid RocketReach API key (sign up at https://rocketreach.co/signup). API calls may incur charges against your account.

Verify before relying:

- Current status of the RocketReach API service and any breaking changes since the last release
- Whether the package handles rate limiting (429 responses) automatically or requires manual retry logic
- Completeness of type hints and IDE support for the Gateway and search/lookup APIs
