# API

REST API to find, validate and enrich business-identity data — emails, phones, names, websites, legal IDs, LinkedIn, ultimate parents. OpenAPI 3.1, API key/OAuth 2.0, signed webhooks, test mode.

The Delpha Data Quality API brings clean, trusted customer data to your applications. It detects and fixes incomplete, inconsistent, duplicate, or invalid records, enriches missing fields, and enforces your data standards in real time or batch. Responses include actionable recommendations with confidence scores so you can automate safely and keep downstream systems accurate.

| **Base URL**         | `https://api.delpha.io`                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         |
| **Authentication**   | `Authorization: Bearer dlp_live_…` — create a key at [Developer → API keys](https://app.delpha.ai/developer/api-keys) ([sign up](https://app.delpha.ai/signup) first). OAuth 2.0 client credentials also work. See [Authentication](/delpha-api-and-mcp/api/authentication.md). |
| **OpenAPI document** | [openapi.json](https://delpha-static-ressources.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/openapi.json) — OpenAPI 3.1, the whole contract: every operation, schema, error code, webhook event and per-operation extension. Every guide and endpoint page in this space is generated from it.   |
| **Try it for free**  | Create the key in [Test mode](/delpha-api-and-mcp/api/test-mode.md): same endpoints and schemas, canned results, no credits spent.                                                                                                                                              |
| **For AI agents**    | The same operations are tools on the hosted [Delpha MCP server](/delpha-api-and-mcp/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.delpha.ai/mcp`.                                                                                                                                                     |
| **What changed**     | [Changelog](/delpha-api-and-mcp/api/changelog.md) — one entry per version of the document.                                                                                                                                                                                      |

Your first call submits a verification and returns **202** with a `job_id`, a `Location` header holding the poll URL and a `Retry-After`:

```bash
curl -X POST https://api.delpha.io/v1/email \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer dlp_live_your_key_here" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Idempotency-Key: 0c8f0d6e-5b1a-4d4e-9f0e-1234567890ab" \
  -d '{"first_name": "Jordan", "last_name": "Rivera", "website": "delpha.io"}'
```

Poll the `Location` until it answers **200** with a `result`, or subscribe a [webhook](/delpha-api-and-mcp/api/webhooks.md) and skip polling. Every response — success or error — carries a machine-readable `code`, a `request_id`, and your remaining [rate-limit](/delpha-api-and-mcp/api/rate-limits.md) allowance.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.delpha.io/delpha-api-and-mcp/api.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
