## Migration Steps

### Step 1: Get Tomba Credentials

1. Sign up at [app.tomba.io](https://app.tomba.io)
2. Get your **API Key** and **Secret Key**

### Step 2: Update API Endpoints

**Prospeo:**

```
POST https://api.prospeo.io/email-finder
```

**Tomba:**

```
GET https://api.tomba.io/v1/email-finder
```

### Step 3: Update Authentication

**Prospeo:**

```javascript
{
  headers: {
    'X-KEY': PROSPEO_KEY
  }
}
```

**Tomba:**

```javascript
{
  headers: {
    'X-Tomba-Key': TOMBA_KEY,
    'X-Tomba-Secret': TOMBA_SECRET
  }
}
```

---

## Code Examples

### Node.js

**Before (Prospeo):**

```javascript
const axios = require("axios");

async function findEmail(domain, firstName, lastName) {
    const response = await axios.post(
        "https://api.prospeo.io/email-finder",
        {
            domain: domain,
            first_name: firstName,
            last_name: lastName,
        },
        {
            headers: { "X-KEY": process.env.PROSPEO_KEY },
        },
    );

    return response.data;
}

// Verification costs extra
async function verifyEmail(email) {
    const response = await axios.post(
        "https://api.prospeo.io/email-verifier",
        { email: email },
        { headers: { "X-KEY": process.env.PROSPEO_KEY } },
    );
    return response.data;
}
```

**After (Tomba with FREE verification):**

```javascript
const axios = require("axios");

async function findEmail(domain, firstName, lastName) {
    const response = await axios.get("https://api.tomba.io/v1/email-finder", {
        params: {
            domain: domain,
            first_name: firstName,
            last_name: lastName,
        },
        headers: {
            "X-Tomba-Key": process.env.TOMBA_KEY,
            "X-Tomba-Secret": process.env.TOMBA_SECRET,
        },
    });

    const data = response.data.data;
    // Verification included FREE!
    console.log(`Email: ${data.email}`);
    console.log(`Verified: ${data.verification.status}`);
    console.log(`Score: ${data.score}`);
    console.log(`Phone: ${data.phone_number}`); // BONUS!

    return data;
}

// No separate verification call needed!
```

### Python

**Before (Prospeo):**

```python
import requests

def find_email(domain, first_name, last_name):
    response = requests.post(
        'https://api.prospeo.io/email-finder',
        json={
            'domain': domain,
            'first_name': first_name,
            'last_name': last_name
        },
        headers={'X-KEY': os.environ['PROSPEO_KEY']}
    )
    return response.json()

def verify_email(email):
    # Extra cost
    response = requests.post(
        'https://api.prospeo.io/email-verifier',
        json={'email': email},
        headers={'X-KEY': os.environ['PROSPEO_KEY']}
    )
    return response.json()
```

**After (Tomba):**

```python
import requests

def find_email(domain, first_name, last_name):
    response = requests.get(
        'https://api.tomba.io/v1/email-finder',
        params={
            'domain': domain,
            'first_name': first_name,
            'last_name': last_name
        },
        headers={
            'X-Tomba-Key': os.environ['TOMBA_KEY'],
            'X-Tomba-Secret': os.environ['TOMBA_SECRET']
        }
    )

    data = response.json()['data']
    # Verification included FREE!
    print(f"Verified: {data['verification']['status']}")
    print(f"Phone: {data.get('phone_number', 'N/A')}")
    return data

# No separate verification needed!
```

## LinkedIn Export Migration

### Prospeo LinkedIn Export

**Before:** Export LinkedIn leads → Prospeo enrichment

**After:** Use Tomba LinkedIn Finder directly

```javascript
// Tomba LinkedIn Finder (direct)
const axios = require("axios");

async function enrichLinkedInProfile(linkedinUrl) {
    const response = await axios.get("https://api.tomba.io/v1/linkedin", {
        params: { url: linkedinUrl },
        headers: {
            "X-Tomba-Key": process.env.TOMBA_KEY,
            "X-Tomba-Secret": process.env.TOMBA_SECRET,
        },
    });

    const data = response.data.data;
    return {
        email: data.email,
        phone: data.phone_number,
        verified: data.verification.status,
        company: data.company,
        position: data.position,
        linkedin: data.linkedin,
    };
}

// Process LinkedIn Sales Navigator export
const csvData = readCSV("linkedin_export.csv");

for (const row of csvData) {
    const enriched = await enrichLinkedInProfile(row.linkedin_url);
    // Save to CRM
}
```
