    -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -d '{"email": "jane@stripe.com"}'
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"dark"}
  import requests

  resp = requests.post(
      "https://encrata.com/api/agent/email-company",
      headers={"Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"},
      json={"email": "jane@stripe.com"},
  )
  print(resp.json())

  const resp = await fetch("https://encrata.com/api/agent/email-company", {
    method: "POST",
    headers: {
      Authorization: "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY",
      "Content-Type": "application/json",
    },
    body: JSON.stringify({ email: "jane@stripe.com" }),
  });
  const data = await resp.json();
  ```

etc.) usually return no company.

  The in-app equivalent is `POST /api/email/company` (session-authenticated).
