Migration Steps
Step 1: Get Tomba Credentials
- Sign up at app.tomba.io
- Get your API Key and Secret Key
Step 2: Update API Endpoints
Snov.io:
POST https://api.snov.io/v1/get-emails-from-name
Tomba:
GET https://api.tomba.io/v1/email-finder
Step 3: Update Authentication
Snov.io:
{
headers: {
'Authorization': `Bearer ${SNOV_TOKEN}`
}
}
Tomba:
{
headers: {
'X-Tomba-Key': TOMBA_KEY,
'X-Tomba-Secret': TOMBA_SECRET
}
}
Code Examples
Node.js
Before (Snov.io):
const axios = require("axios");
async function findEmail(domain, firstName, lastName) {
const response = await axios.post(
"https://api.snov.io/v1/get-emails-from-name",
{
domain: domain,
firstName: firstName,
lastName: lastName,
},
{
headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.SNOV_TOKEN}` },
},
);
return response.data;
}
After (Tomba with FREE verification):
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;
console.log(`Email: ${data.email}`);
console.log(`Verified: ${data.verification.status}`); // FREE!
console.log(`Phone: ${data.phone_number}`); // NEW!
return data;
}
Python
Before (Snov.io):
import requests
def find_email(domain, first_name, last_name):
response = requests.post(
'https://api.snov.io/v1/get-emails-from-name',
json={
'domain': domain,
'firstName': first_name,
'lastName': last_name
},
headers={'Authorization': f'Bearer {os.environ["SNOV_TOKEN"]}'}
)
return response.json()
After (Tomba):
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']
print(f"Verified: {data['verification']['status']}") # FREE!
return data
Drip Campaign Alternative
Snov.io's drip campaigns can be replaced with:
- Zapier Integration: Connect Tomba → Email tool
- n8n Workflow: Build custom automation
- Direct Integration: Use Tomba API + your CRM
// Example: Tomba + Mailchimp integration
const tomba = require("tomba");
const mailchimp = require("@mailchimp/mailchimp_marketing");
async function addToSequence(domain, firstName, lastName) {
// 1. Find & verify email with Tomba
const contact = await tomba.emailFinder({
domain,
first_name: firstName,
last_name: lastName,
});
// 2. Add to Mailchimp campaign
if (contact.verification.status === "valid") {
await mailchimp.lists.addListMember(LIST_ID, {
email_address: contact.email,
status: "subscribed",
merge_fields: {
FNAME: firstName,
LNAME: lastName,
PHONE: contact.phone_number,
},
});
}
}
Cost Comparison
5,000 Emails/Month
Snov.io:
- Plan: $99/month (5,000 credits)
- Verification: Limited
- Total: $99/month
Tomba:
- Plan: $59/month (5,000 searches)
- Verification: FREE
- Total: $59/month
💰 Savings: $40/month = $480/year (40% cheaper!)
