How to Enrich an Input Lead with Additional Data Fields in Python

I’m not going to waste your time explaining why input lead enrichment is or why it’s useful. Instead, I’m just going to jump straight to showing you how to accomplish this task in a bare minimum of time. You will be shocked at how easy this can be.

Starting off, we use pip to install our API client files — just use this command here:

pip install cloudmersive-validate-api-client

Next we shall set up our API function call. To do this, instantiate an API object (this will need a key) and then use that object to call said function — in this case lead_enrichment_enrich_lead.

from __future__ import print_function
import time
import cloudmersive_validate_api_client
from cloudmersive_validate_api_client.rest import ApiException
from pprint import pprint
# Configure API key authorization: Apikey
configuration = cloudmersive_validate_api_client.Configuration()
configuration.api_key['Apikey'] = 'YOUR_API_KEY'
# Uncomment below to setup prefix (e.g. Bearer) for API key, if needed
# configuration.api_key_prefix['Apikey'] = 'Bearer'
# create an instance of the API class
api_instance = cloudmersive_validate_api_client.LeadEnrichmentApi(cloudmersive_validate_api_client.ApiClient(configuration))
request = cloudmersive_validate_api_client.LeadEnrichmentRequest() # LeadEnrichmentRequest | Input lead with known fields set, and unknown fields left blank (null)
try:
# Enrich an input lead with additional fields of data
api_response = api_instance.lead_enrichment_enrich_lead(request)
pprint(api_response)
except ApiException as e:
print("Exception when calling LeadEnrichmentApi->lead_enrichment_enrich_lead: %s\n" % e)

With that done, you just need to input your request with the relevant fields, etc. That’s it! Talk about easy. Now there’s just the matter of figuring out what to do with all that time you just freed up!
