A productized search API that developers love.

Give AI products the retrieval layer they need for safe, effective RAG, or power familiar Google-style search experiences with the same trusted directory data.

Trusted data. Ready to build on.

Turn data into partner value.

  1. We prepare the data

    We clean, standardize, and enrich your directory records.

  2. Developers build with the API

    Clear endpoints, filters, and facets make it easy to build AI search into applications.

  3. Customize access

    Set per-key permissions: share everything with one partner, or selected data blends, geographies, and taxonomies with another.

Built to use. Built to govern.

A practical API for developers, with meaningful control for 211 data managers.

  • Hybrid search

    Keywords, semantics, and taxonomy work together.
