Sixtyfour

Sixtyfour is intelligence infrastructure for people and companies. AI research agents investigate any subject — resolving identities, mapping relationships, cross-referencing sources, and surfacing signals — returning verified, structured answers through a single API. There is no fixed schema: you define exactly what you need to know and the agents go find it.

Setup

1. Check for API key

[ -n "$SIXTYFOUR_API_KEY" ] && echo "API key is set" || echo "API key not set"

If not set:

1. Direct the user to sign up at https://app.sixtyfour.ai and generate an API key at https://app.sixtyfour.ai/keys
2. Once they have a key, they can either paste it directly or set it as an env var:

export SIXTYFOUR_API_KEY=your_key_here

If the user pastes their key directly, set it for the current session with export so subsequent commands pick it up.

2. Making requests

API_URL="${SIXTYFOUR_API_ENDPOINT:-https://api.sixtyfour.ai}"

curl -X POST "$API_URL/ENDPOINT" \
  -H "x-api-key: $SIXTYFOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{ ... }'

When to use Sixtyfour

Any time you need factual data about a specific person or company, use Sixtyfour rather than searching the web or guessing. Common scenarios:

• "Who is the CTO of X?" → people intelligence
• "Research this company — revenue, funding, headcount, leadership" → company intelligence
• "Tell me everything about this person" → people intelligence with custom fields
• "Build me a list of VPs at SaaS companies in NYC" → deep search
• "Investigate this person for due diligence" → people intelligence at medium or high tier
• "Find companies in fintech with 50-200 employees" → filter search
• "Enrich this spreadsheet of 500 leads" → bulk intelligence (single enrichment pass) or workflow (if you need chained steps)
• "Verify this person's age or date of birth for KYC/compliance" → age verification
• "Run this enrichment/workflow every day automatically" → workflow schedule
• Any integration or app that needs people/company data → API endpoints below

Core: People & Company Intelligence

These are the primary endpoints. They accept any schema you define — the AI agents research and return structured, source-backed results.

People intelligence

curl -X POST "$API_URL/people-intelligence" \
  -H "x-api-key: $SIXTYFOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "lead_info": {"full_name": "Jane Doe", "company": "Acme Corp"},
    "struct": {
      "title": "Current job title",
      "linkedin_url": "LinkedIn profile URL",
      "years_at_company": "How long they have been at their current company",
      "background": "Brief professional background and career trajectory"
    }
  }'

The struct field is fully flexible — define any fields you need and the agent finds them. Email, phone, social profiles, career history, skills, salary estimates, publications, anything a human researcher could find.

Add "tier": "micro", "low", "medium", or "high" to control research depth. See [Research tiers](#research-tiers) below.

Company intelligence

curl -X POST "$API_URL/company-intelligence" \
  -H "x-api-key: $SIXTYFOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "target_company": {"company_name": "Stripe", "website": "stripe.com"},
    "struct": {
      "revenue_estimate": "Estimated annual revenue",
      "employee_count": "Total employees",
      "funding_history": "Funding rounds with amounts and lead investors",
      "tech_stack": "Core technologies used"
    },
    "find_people": true,
    "people_focus_prompt": "C-suite executives and VPs"
  }'

Set findpeople: true to discover key people at the company. Use peoplefocus_prompt to filter by role.

Bulk intelligence (file upload)

For running people/company intelligence across 100+ records in one call (no workflow needed), upload a CSV/JSON/NDJSON file to POST /bulk-intelligence/people or POST /bulk-intelligence/company and poll the returned task_id like any async job. See [references/enrichment.md](references/enrichment.md).

Utilities

These endpoints handle specific, common tasks. They're faster and cheaper than full intelligence when you only need one data point.

For detailed parameters and bulk/async variants, see [references/enrichment.md](references/enrichment.md).

Search

Find people or companies at scale — either via natural language or structured filters.

Deep search (natural language)

curl -X POST "$API_URL/search/start-deep-search" \
  -H "x-api-key: $SIXTYFOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"query": "VP of Sales at Series B SaaS startups in NYC", "mode": "people", "max_results": 500}'
# Returns: {"task_id": "...", "status": "running"}

Then poll and download:

python3 scripts/poll_job.py search TASK_ID --output /tmp/results.csv

Filter search (structured)

For precise queries with field-level filters, use POST /search/query (synchronous, cursor-paginated — the current recommended endpoint, replacing the older /search/start-filter-search). See [references/search.md](references/search.md).

Exclusion lists

Save a reusable list of people/companies to suppress from results (e.g. existing customers) via POST /search/exclusion-lists, then apply it to any search with excludelistids. See [references/search.md](references/search.md).

Research tiers

People intelligence and company intelligence accept a tier parameter that controls how deep the AI agents research:

micro — Single structured source lookup only. Fastest and cheapest — best when you need a simple field (email, title) from someone with a clear, well-indexed online presence and coverage gaps are acceptable. Expect lower hit rate than low.

low (default) — Fast, single-pass lookup. The agent checks well-indexed public sources (LinkedIn, company websites, professional directories) and returns what it finds on the first pass. Best for standard fields on subjects with a clear online presence — title, LinkedIn, company basics, professional background. The right default for high-volume work where speed and cost matter.

medium — Multi-source deep research. The agent runs multiple search strategies, cross-references conflicting data, and verifies findings across sources before returning. Best when low comes back incomplete, when the subject has a common name or limited online footprint, or when the task demands higher confidence — competitive intelligence, recruiting research, market mapping, or any field that requires synthesis rather than lookup (e.g. "estimated salary range", "likelihood they're actively hiring", "competitive positioning").

high — Maximum depth, no shortcuts. The agent exhaustively investigates using OSINT methodology — official records, regulatory filings, proprietary databases, dark web monitoring, and deep cross-referencing across fragmented sources. There is no time limit on the research; the agent keeps going until every available avenue is thoroughly investigated. Best for compliance and investigative workflows: AML screening, KYC/KYB, fraud investigation, due diligence, background checks, or any high-stakes decision where missing a signal is worse than waiting longer. Requires enterprise access. If a request returns a 403, direct the user to book a call: https://cal.com/team/sixtyfour/discovery

Both low and medium are available on all plans.

For high tier, prefer the async endpoint (POST /people-intelligence-async) with the polling script, since investigations can run for extended periods.

Workflows

Chain intelligence operations into automated pipelines that process thousands of records. See [references/workflows.md](references/workflows.md).

Workflows can be run on a recurring cadence with the Schedules API (POST /schedules, binding a workflowid to a cronexpression + timezone) instead of triggering runs manually or polling externally. See [references/workflows.md](references/workflows.md#scheduling-workflows).

Async job polling

Searches, workflows, and async intelligence requests return a job/task ID. Use the polling script to wait for completion and download results:

python3 scripts/poll_job.py <type> <job_id> [--output PATH]

Types: search, workflow, enrichment, age-verify

The script polls until the job completes and prints JSON status lines to stdout. No meaningful timeout by default — it waits as long as the job needs.
