LeadOcean + Clay: enrich any LinkedIn URL into name, role, company and email

You get a Clay table where each LinkedIn profile URL turns into a full name, current job title, company and work email. Clay's template does this with a bundle of its own enrichments. This recipe does it with one HTTP API column calling LeadOcean at a flat price. The HTTP API column needs Clay Growth or higher (Clay pricing, September 2026).

LeadOcean enrich takes a LinkedIn profile URL, an email, a phone or a person_id. Other URL types are not accepted. To start from a name and a company, see find email from name and company.

How it works

1. Get a free key. Sign up at app.leadocean.io/register. No card, 1,000 records.
2. Add a URL column. Name it LinkedIn URL and paste or import your profile URLs.
3. Add the HTTP API column. Method POST, endpoint https://api.leadocean.io/v1/people/enrich.
4. Set headers and body. Send x-api-key and one identifier, the LinkedIn URL column.
5. Pick the field paths. Clay uses dot notation for nested values (Clay docs, September 2026).
6. Run five rows first. Check the columns fill, then run the table.

Configuration

Set the column like this. /LinkedIn URL is Clay's column reference.

Method:   POST
URL:      https://api.leadocean.io/v1/people/enrich
Headers:  x-api-key: <your LeadOcean key>
          content-type: application/json
Body:     {
            "linkedin_url": "/LinkedIn URL",
            "reveal_email": true
          }
Field paths to return:
          data.profile_data.profile_full_name
          data.contact_data.email_status
          data.contact_data.contact_emails
          data.contact_data.contact_current_experiences

Test the same request in a terminal first. This is what Clay sends per row.

curl -X POST "https://api.leadocean.io/v1/people/enrich" \
  -H "x-api-key: $LEADOCEAN_API_KEY" \
  -H "content-type: application/json" \
  -d '{"linkedin_url":"https://www.linkedin.com/in/jane-doe","reveal_email":true}'

Send exactly one identifier. Two returns a 400 (LeadOcean docs, September 2026). reveal_email costs no extra record.

Field mapping

Cost at 10,000 rows

LeadOcean costs $0 for the first 1,000 records, $97 on Solo or $497 on Agency for all 10,000. Clay adds its own plan on top.

A hit counts one record. A miss is a 404 and costs nothing (LeadOcean docs, September 2026). Solo is $97 a month and covers 10k enrichments every 5 hours, so 10,000 rows fit in one run. There is no per-record price.

Clay's HTTP API column starts on Growth at $495 a month billed monthly, or $446 billed yearly. It uses one Action per call, and Growth includes 40,000 Actions a month (Clay pricing, September 2026). So 10,000 rows use a quarter of the Actions. Clay Data Credits are only spent if you add its own enrichments.
