Clay Integration Guide
Use the Hillwinds API with Clay to enrich company and contact records in your prospecting workflows.
Setup
- In Clay, add an HTTP API enrichment step
- Set the method to
GET - Set the URL to:
https://api.hillwinds.ai/v1/companies/lookup?domain={{company_domain}} - Add header:
Authorization: Bearer ss_live_YOUR_KEY_HERE - Enable flat mode for easier column mapping — append
&format=flatto the URL
Company enrichment by domain
bash
GET https://api.hillwinds.ai/v1/companies/lookup?domain={{company_domain}}&mode=full&format=flatThis returns a single flat row with all company fields as simple key-value pairs — ready for Clay column mapping.
Contact enrichment
After enriching the company, pull contacts:
bash
GET https://api.hillwinds.ai/v1/personnel?lead_type=company&company_eins={{enriched_ein}}&seniority=C-suite,VP-Director&has_email=true&format=flat&page_size=5Building a prospecting list
Use the list endpoint with filters to build a targeted list directly:
bash
GET https://api.hillwinds.ai/v1/companies?states=CA,NY&industries=Hospitals&employee_bands=Mid-market+Accounts&signals=carrier_change&format=flat&mode=full&page_size=100Tips
- Use
format=flatfor all Clay requests — it eliminates nested objects - Use
mode=basicto save credits when you don't need relationship data - Use
eb[website]=trueto skip companies without websites - Lookup endpoints (
/lookup?domain=) are best for single-record enrichment - List endpoints are best for building prospecting lists
