Real-time business intelligence and email verification via one API key. Transparent pricing, no enterprise tax, no black boxes. Built in the Netherlands, GDPR compliant.
Most email verification APIs are black boxes. You send an email, get a score, and trust that something happened. We don't think that's good enough.
Every validation response includes exact millisecond timing for syntax, domain check, DNS, SMTP, and catch-all detection. See exactly where time was spent — no guessing.
Most free tiers only do DNS lookups. Our free tier performs actual SMTP mailbox verification with a 5-second timeout. Test our accuracy yourself before paying a cent.
Your ParheliaWeb key works across Email Validation, Funding Rounds, Layoffs, Regulatory Fines, Acquisitions, and IPOs. Separate quotas, one portal, zero integration friction.
All data processing complies with GDPR. Email addresses are SHA-256 hashed — never stored in plain text. Our servers are in Dutch data centers, not US cloud regions.
Email validation has live SMTP infrastructure cost per check. Data APIs query our cached database. Different costs, different free quotas — and we tell you exactly why.
Upgrade any API tier instantly in your portal. Your API key never changes. Your code never breaks. No migration, no re-integration, no surprises.
Sales teams, recruiters, investors, and compliance officers use ParheliaWeb data to spot opportunities and risks before the competition.
Track funding rounds to identify companies with fresh capital and buying power. Time your outreach when they're most likely to invest in tools.
Monitor layoffs to find available talent pools. Track acquisitions to identify companies restructuring their teams and hiring needs.
Track regulatory fines across jurisdictions. Identify patterns in enforcement actions before they affect your portfolio or partners.
Follow IPO pipelines and M&A activity. Get structured data on deals, valuations, and investor syndicates — not just headlines.
Our APIs return structured, verified data — but what matters is what you do with it.
Example: A sales team queries our Funding API weekly for Series B rounds in fintech. They cross-reference with LinkedIn, identify new VPs of Engineering at funded companies, and time their SaaS pitch to coincide with budget expansion. That's the ParheliaWeb edge.
No code required for exploration — use our portal to browse data before you automate.
We don't name competitors — we show you what to look for. Judge for yourself whether your current provider checks these boxes.

Most API vendors sell you one product and one integration. We built six.
Your ParheliaWeb API key unlocks Email Validation, Funding Rounds, Layoffs, Regulatory Fines, Acquisitions, and IPOs. Each has its own quota, tracked in one portal. Upgrade individual APIs as you grow — or keep using free tiers for the rest.
This isn't a bundle. It's a platform. And it's built the same way we build everything: transparent, fair, and developer-first.
We don't do one-size-fits-all pricing. Different infrastructure, different costs, different limits — and we tell you exactly why.
Every check opens a live SMTP connection to an external mail server. Timeouts, retries, IP reputation management — each validation has real infrastructure cost. We align the free quota with what we can sustainably offer.
Funding, Layoffs, Fines, Acquisitions, and IPOs query our own cached, indexed database. Low marginal cost per query. We can be more generous because the infrastructure is ours and the data is pre-processed.
We believe transparency doesn't stop at the API response. Most email verification tools hide their real costs behind "contact sales" and expiring credits. We don't. Our pricing is open, flat, and fair — because that's how we build everything.
Browse funding rounds, layoffs, and deals in our portal — or get your API key and start building. No credit card. No trial period. One key, six APIs.
