Research Any Company from Just Its Domain

Where this fits

A developer is building a sales intelligence agent that needs to enrich a list of leads. The agent has only domains, and the user asks "What does this company do?" or "Get me their logo and brand colors." Scraping websites is slow, brittle, and often returns cluttered HTML. This skill solves that by using purpose-built endpoints to extract a structured company profile from a domain in one or two calls.

Why agents benefit

• Fast identity resolution: One API call returns name, description, and social profiles, so the agent can answer basic questions immediately.
• Brand assets on demand: Logos (light/dark variants) and real brand colors are returned as structured data, ready for use in UI or reports.
• Positioning and site structure: The skill also extracts what the company sells and how its site is organized, giving the agent a deeper understanding beyond a tagline.
• Cost-aware sequencing: The skill runs steps in order and stops as soon as the requested data is obtained, saving API credits.
• Declared vs. harvested fields: Each field indicates whether the company declared it or it was inferred, so the agent can weigh confidence.

Practical scenarios

Lead enrichment for CRM

Your agent processes a new lead with only a domain. It calls the skill, gets the company name, description, and logo, and updates the CRM record. No manual research needed.

Competitor analysis

You're building a market research agent. Given a competitor's domain, the skill returns positioning and site structure, helping you compare messaging and content strategy.

Answering "What does this company do?"

A user asks a chatbot about a company they saw on a billboard. The agent uses the skill to fetch a one-line description and social links, giving a quick, accurate answer.

Add it to your agent workflow

Install the skill with:

npx skills add Hydrafetch/skills --skill research-a-company

Then, inside your agent, call it with a domain:

from skills import research_a_company

profile = research_a_company.run("acme.com")
print(profile.name, profile.description)

The skill handles the API call and returns a structured profile object. You can also call the underlying HTTP endpoint directly with your HYDRAFETCH_API_KEY.

Compare before adopting

Before committing, compare this skill with alternatives:

• Quality signals: Check the API's response accuracy and how often fields are missing or incorrect.
• Maintenance freshness: Is the skill actively updated? Does it track API changes?
• Alternatives: Web scraping, other enrichment APIs (Clearbit, Hunter), or manual research.
• Workflow fit: Does it integrate with your existing agent framework? Does it respect your cost limits?

Why it is worth tracking

This skill is early (0 stars, single author) but solves a common problem with a clean API. Its value grows if the underlying Hydrafetch API stays reliable and the skill gains community adoption. Watch for updates, user feedback, and whether the author maintains it. If you need company enrichment in your agents, this is worth a test drive.
