Apollo Hello World
Overview
Minimal working example demonstrating core Apollo.io functionality - searching for people and enriching contact data.
Prerequisites
- Completed
apollo-install-authsetup - Valid API credentials configured
- Development environment ready
Instructions
Step 1: Create Entry File
Create a new file for your hello world example.
Step 2: Import and Initialize Client
typescript
import axios from 'axios';
const apolloClient = axios.create({
baseURL: 'https://api.apollo.io/v1',
headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
params: { api_key: process.env.APOLLO_API_KEY },
});
Step 3: Search for People
typescript
async function searchPeople() {
const response = await apolloClient.post('/people/search', {
q_organization_domains: ['apollo.io'],
page: 1,
per_page: 10,
});
console.log('Found contacts:', response.data.people.length);
response.data.people.forEach((person: any) => {
console.log(`- ${person.name} (${person.title})`);
});
}
searchPeople().catch(console.error);
Output
- Working code file with Apollo client initialization
- Successful API response with contact data
- Console output showing:
Found contacts: 10
- John Smith (VP of Sales)
- Jane Doe (Account Executive)
...
Error Handling
| Error | Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| 401 Unauthorized | Invalid API key | Check APOLLO_API_KEY environment variable |
| 422 Unprocessable | Invalid request body | Verify request payload format |
| 429 Rate Limited | Too many requests | Wait and retry with exponential backoff |
| Empty Results | No matching contacts | Broaden search criteria |
Examples
TypeScript Example - People Search
typescript
import axios from 'axios';
const client = axios.create({
baseURL: 'https://api.apollo.io/v1',
params: { api_key: process.env.APOLLO_API_KEY },
});
interface Person {
id: string;
name: string;
title: string;
email: string;
organization: { name: string };
}
async function main() {
// Search for people at a company
const { data } = await client.post('/people/search', {
q_organization_domains: ['stripe.com'],
person_titles: ['engineer', 'developer'],
page: 1,
per_page: 5,
});
console.log('People Search Results:');
data.people.forEach((person: Person) => {
console.log(` ${person.name} - ${person.title} at ${person.organization?.name}`);
});
}
main().catch(console.error);
Python Example - Company Enrichment
python
import os
import requests
APOLLO_API_KEY = os.environ.get('APOLLO_API_KEY')
BASE_URL = 'https://api.apollo.io/v1'
def enrich_company(domain: str):
response = requests.get(
f'{BASE_URL}/organizations/enrich',
params={
'api_key': APOLLO_API_KEY,
'domain': domain,
}
)
return response.json()
if __name__ == '__main__':
company = enrich_company('apollo.io')
org = company.get('organization', {})
print(f"Company: {org.get('name')}")
print(f"Industry: {org.get('industry')}")
print(f"Employees: {org.get('estimated_num_employees')}")
