Search

People

Search for people (employees) at companies matching your criteria.

How It Works

Provide job_titles in people_filters to find people by their role. Use company_filters.definition to narrow down which companies to search. Use company_linkedin_ids to restrict results to a specific list of company LinkedIn IDs.

Job title examples:

  • ["Head of Sales", "VP Sales"]
  • ["CTO", "VP Engineering"]
  • ["Founder", "CEO"]

AI Enrichment

Use the criteria parameter in people_filters to score people against custom criteria. Each person will be evaluated and scored (0-5) with reasoning for each criterion.

Pricing

  • First 10 results are free (including AI enrichment)
  • A positive credit balance is required for every request, free results included (an organization at 0 credits gets a 402)
  • Entirely-free requests are limited per organization by plan: free 50/day + 10/min · starter 200/day + 15/min · growth 500/day + 20/min · pro 750/day + 25/min · agency 1500/day + 30/min · enterprise 3000/day + 30/min (429 beyond); billable requests are not affected
  • 1.0 credit per person after the first 10
  • +0.1 credits per person per criterion after the first 10

Example: 150 people with 2 criteria = 50 billable × (1.0 + 0.1 × 2) = 60 credits (first 10 are free)

Empty results = 0 credits.

Deduplication

Pass dedup list ids in exclude_lists to skip people you already own — they are not returned and not charged. A companies list excludes everyone at its domains. Free results zone does not apply. See the Deduplication endpoints.
