OpenReach docs and tutorials

Start with how OpenReach works and what it costs, then follow a tutorial for the feature you need. The reference pages cover the REST API and the MCP server.

Start here

Set up your account and understand the model: where the data comes from and what it costs.

  1. Getting started

    Get started with OpenReach: create a YepAPI account, paste your key, create a project for your product and run your first search, under a monthly limit.

  2. How OpenReach works

    How OpenReach works: projects, where creator, business and community data comes from, what runs in the background, and what OpenReach will never do.

  3. Costs, caching and limits

    What each lookup costs, when results are free, where to see what you spent, and the monthly limit and ceilings that stop spending.

Tutorials

One walkthrough per feature, from an empty project to results you can act on.

  1. Find influencers

    How to find influencers: search your niche on YouTube, TikTok or Instagram, analyse engagement and contacts, and keep a shortlist with outreach statuses.

  2. Build a lead list

    How to build a lead list from Google Maps: search businesses by type and place, filter for your pitch, cover whole cities, find emails and export.

  3. Monitor brand mentions

    How to monitor brand mentions on Reddit, Hacker News, GitHub, review sites and more: set up a brand monitor, read the feed and reply where it matters.

  4. Find customers on Reddit

    How to find customers on Reddit and Quora: search for people asking about your problem, rank them by intent, pick subreddits and reply the right way.

Run it yourself

Run the whole stack on your own machine or server.

  1. Self-hosting

    How to self-host OpenReach with Docker: run the open-source lead generation tool on your own computer or a server, with HTTPS for your own domain.

Reference

The details: every API route, MCP tool and error code.

  1. Connect your agent

    Connect Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Codex or Gemini to the OpenReach MCP server: OAuth or an API key, a setup prompt, skills and the Claude Code plugin.

  2. MCP tools

    All 38 tools of the OpenReach MCP server: creators, Google Maps leads, lead searches, brand and conversation monitors, and which ones spend.

  3. REST API

    The OpenReach REST API: authentication, the response envelope, and every route for lookups, creators, leads, lead searches, monitors and mentions.

  4. Errors and troubleshooting

    OpenReach errors and troubleshooting: what each error code means, from a missing key and spending limits to providers that are down or rate limiting.

OpenReach is an early project in active development. The docs describe what the current version does.
