Everything the Exports page does is available to scripts and agents, which matters when list building is part of a recurring workflow rather than a manual task.
CLI. Install nothing and run npx argorant, or install globally with npm install -g argorant. Authenticate once with argorant login <key>.
argorant countandargorant searchcost nothing.argorant export -o leads.csvcreates a verified export.argorant export statusandargorant export downloadpoll a background job and fetch the finished file.argorant verifychecks a single address, and bulk mode reads a CSV.
Exit codes are machine-readable, so a pipeline can branch on them: 0 is success, 2 is an authentication problem, and 5 means payment is required.
REST. Authenticate with Authorization: Bearer <key> against https://argorant.com, using a key that starts with ag_live_. Use POST /api/mcp/exports/create for a verified export, with free counts and previews available at /api/mcp/people/count and /api/mcp/people/preview.
The credit rules are identical everywhere: counts and previews free, one credit per verified contact, nothing for addresses that fail. A 402 response always includes the link that resolves it, so an automated run can stop cleanly and resume after a top-up.
