Sample request
Search accountants & tax preparers in Denver, CO with strictness: "moderate". Up to five location codes fit in one job. You are charged 1 credit per business that has a website. Listings without a website and off-niche results are free.
curl -X POST https://api.leadmerlin.com/api/v2/searches \
-H "x-api-key: lm_your_key" \
-H "content-type: application/json" \
-d '{"keyword":"certified public accountant","location_codes":[1014485],"strictness":"moderate"}'
Then poll GET /v2/jobs/:id and page through /v2/jobs/:id/results. Want to see the response shape first? The demo endpoints need no key.
Honest caveats
- Avoid outreach during peak tax season (Feb–April); response rates are lower then.
- Seasonal tax-prep franchises (H&R Block offices) appear in large numbers.
- Owner names come from the business's own website text. Fill rates vary by niche and by how much a site says about its people.
