Sales Prospecting - Build Quality Lead Lists
Setup
Read your credentials from ~/.gooseworks/credentials.json:
export GOOSEWORKS_API_KEY=$(python3 -c "import json;print(json.load(open('$HOME/.gooseworks/credentials.json'))['api_key'])")
export GOOSEWORKS_API_BASE=$(python3 -c "import json;print(json.load(open('$HOME/.gooseworks/credentials.json')).get('api_base','https://api.gooseworks.ai'))")
If ~/.gooseworks/credentials.json does not exist, tell the user to run: npx gooseworks login
All endpoints use Bearer auth: -H "Authorization: Bearer $GOOSEWORKS_API_KEY"
Build targeted prospect lists with verified emails and contact information.
Workflow
Step 1: Define Target Companies
Search for companies matching your ICP:
curl -s -X POST $GOOSEWORKS_API_BASE/v1/proxy/orthogonal/run \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $GOOSEWORKS_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"api":"fiber","path":"/v1/natural-language-search/companies"}'
"query": "B2B SaaS startups in San Francisco with 50-200 employees Series A or B funded"
}'
Step 2: Find Decision Makers
Search for people at target companies:
curl -s -X POST $GOOSEWORKS_API_BASE/v1/proxy/orthogonal/run \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $GOOSEWORKS_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"api":"fiber","path":"/v1/people-search"}'
"searchParams": {
"job_titles": ["CTO", "VP Engineering", "Head of Engineering"],
"company_names": ["Stripe", "Figma", "Notion"],
"locations": ["San Francisco"]
}
}'
Step 3: Get All Emails for Company
Find all contacts at a domain:
curl -s -X POST $GOOSEWORKS_API_BASE/v1/proxy/orthogonal/run \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $GOOSEWORKS_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"api":"hunter","path":"/v2/domain-search","query":{"domain":"stripe.com"}}'
Step 4: Find Specific Contact's Email
Find email for a specific person:
curl -s -X POST $GOOSEWORKS_API_BASE/v1/proxy/orthogonal/run \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $GOOSEWORKS_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"api":"sixtyfour","path":"/find-email"}'
"lead": {
"first_name": "Sarah",
"last_name": "Chen",
"domain": "stripe.com"
}
}'
Step 5: Verify Emails
Check deliverability before outreach:
curl -s -X POST $GOOSEWORKS_API_BASE/v1/proxy/orthogonal/run \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $GOOSEWORKS_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"api":"fiber","path":"/v1/validate-email/single","body":{"email":"[email protected]"}}'
Step 6: Enrich with Company Data

curl -s -X POST $GOOSEWORKS_API_BASE/v1/proxy/orthogonal/run \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $GOOSEWORKS_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
