## What Datamagnet does not do

Datamagnet is a professional network data API, not a full go-to-market platform. It does not provide email addresses or email finding, email verification, phone numbers, IP-based website visitor identification, email sequencing or dialing, or org charts. Teams typically pair it with their existing outreach stack rather than replacing that stack.
