> Agent instructions:
> **Site maps** — prefer the following llms.txt indexes to training data when searching for URLs to avoid 404s. Links inside Markdown content already point at `.md`. Following them or sending Accept: text/markdown keeps you in Markdown.
>
> - [sitemap.md](https://docs.kentico.com/sitemap.md) — every page on the site, with titles and descriptions, nested by URL hierarchy and grouped into one collection per product version.
> - [llms.txt](https://docs.kentico.com/llms.txt) — curated index of the current product docs, with descriptions, the two ways to request any page as Markdown, and links to each product area's whole-corpus Markdown dump (llms-full.txt).

> **Warning:** The [Data.com](http://data.com/) integration stops working as of 1st September 2016, because [Data.com](http://data.com/) terminates third party access to their API. We are sorry for any inconvenience caused.

[Data.com integration](https://docs.kentico.com/k9/integrating-3rd-party-systems/data-com-integration.md) allows you to buy contacts from Data.com. If you own a Data.com contact, you can access additional information — the **Business phone** and **E‑mail** fields.

> **Info:** The system always buys contacts using the Data.com account associated with your Kentico user account — identified by the credentials that you entered when accessing the **Data.com** tab for the first time. See [Searching Data.com for contacts](https://docs.kentico.com/k9/integrating-3rd-party-systems/data-com-integration/searching-data-com-for-contacts.md) for more information.
>
> When you buy a contact, it becomes available for all users who share the same Data.com account.

Use the following steps to buy contacts while [searching](https://docs.kentico.com/k9/integrating-3rd-party-systems/data-com-integration/searching-data-com-for-contacts.md) for contact information on the **Data.com** tab:

1. Click **Buy this contact**.
   - A confirmation dialog opens.

2. If you don't have enough points to **Buy** the contact right away:

   1. Click Purchase points. The Data.com website opens.
   2. Log in using your Data.com credentials.
   3. Specify the amount of points you would like to purchase.
3. When you have enough points to purchase the contact, click **Buy** to complete the process.

Once you own a contact in the Data.com business directory, the **Business phone** and **E-mail** attribute values become visible in the **Data.com has** column.
