# Find contacts at prospects' sites

`POST /v3/outreach/prospects/find-people`

Look up the people worth pitching at one site or a batch of them - editors, authors, whoever can actually add the link. Returns up to 100 people per site per call, and NEVER returns anyone the prospect already has - so calling it again is how you fetch the next 100 of the same search. Runs in the background; poll outreach_prospects while each site's status is finding_people, then read the result with outreach_prospect_people. Costs 5 credits per site and is refunded when a site yields nobody new, so re-running it on a prospect that is already fully searched is free but pointless. Skipped at no cost: sites whose search is already running, creators on shared platforms like YouTube or Medium, where the searchable domain belongs to the platform rather than the person you are pitching, and any site where the link is not earned by writing to someone - a G2 or Capterra listing you claim yourself, a directory you submit to, a Reddit or Stack Overflow thread you answer. Read outreach_prospects for those: the playbook field carries the steps instead. Also skipped: sites that already link to you (opportunity already-linked), since there is nothing left to ask them for.
