Apollo Lead Finder

Two-phase Apollo.io prospecting: free People Search for lead discovery, then selective paid enrichment to reveal emails and phone numbers. Creates Apollo lists and contacts. Deduplicates against Supabase.

Key advantage over CrustData: Apollo People Search is free (no credits consumed). Credits are only spent when enriching contacts to reveal email/phone. This lets you search tens of thousands of leads at zero cost, review results, then selectively enrich only the best matches.

Prerequisites (One-Time Setup)

1. Apollo API Key

Get your API key from Apollo.io Settings > Integrations > API. Add to .env:

APOLLO_API_KEY=your-api-key-here

2. Supabase Project

Same Supabase project used by crustdata-supabase. The full schema lives in tools/supabase/schema.sql. This skill writes to the people table (dedup by linkedin_url UNIQUE constraint). Run python3 tools/supabase/setup_database.py if setting up fresh.
