# Search Speakers

`GET /v1/speakers/search`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://developer.eventship.com` (the document declares no server; this is the origin it was published from)
- URL: `https://developer.eventship.com/v1/speakers/search`
- Auth: API key in header `X-API-Key`

Search the shared speaker directory by name.

Speaker profiles are reusable across events, so call this first and reuse a
match (pass its ``id`` as ``speakerId`` when adding) instead of creating a
duplicate. This is the same search-first flow the web editor uses.

## Query parameters

- `q` string, required: Search query
- `limit` integer
