## Company-first search philosophy

The Hog is designed around a company-first workflow. You start by finding the right accounts — filtered by firmographics, technographics, or signals — and then drill into the people at those companies. This keeps your outreach anchored to the accounts that actually matter rather than building lists of contacts in isolation.

A typical workflow looks like this:

1. **Search companies** to build a list of target accounts that match your ICP.
2. **Find people** at those accounts using a natural-language query scoped to a company ID.
3. **Enrich contacts** to get verified email addresses and phone numbers.

## Base URL

All API requests go to:

```text theme={null} theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark"}}
https://developer.thehog.ai
```

Every endpoint is prefixed with `/api`. For example, the company search endpoint is `POST https://developer.thehog.ai/api/v1/companies/search`.
