CrustData V3 guidance
Use autocomplete before search when filter values are uncertain. Autocomplete is free and reduces expensive zero-result searches. Use indexed search for discovery:crustdata_v3_person_searchcrustdata_v3_company_searchcrustdata_v3_job_search
limit strict. Search is billed per returned result, not by matched total_count.
Use enrich after narrowing candidates:
crustdata_v3_person_enrichfor full cached person profiles.crustdata_v3_person_contact_enrichfor contact-only lookups.crustdata_v3_company_enrichfor full company records.
crustdata_v3_company_identify before company enrich when the inbound identifier is fuzzy. It is free.
Do not use old PersonDB field paths with V3 unless a reviewed compatibility mapper converts them to the documented 2025-11-01 field vocabulary.
