Person Lookup Endpoint

Cost2 credits / successful request

Look up a person with a name and company information. Credits are charged by default even when no match is found; use similarity_checks=skip to avoid charges on null results.

GET
/api/v2/profile/resolve

Authorization

BearerAuth client
AuthorizationBearer <token>

In: header

Scope: client

Query Parameters

company_domain*string

Company name or domain

first_name*string

First name of the user

similarity_checks?string

Controls whether the API endpoint performs similarity comparisons between the input parameters and the results or simply returns the closest match. For instance, if you are searching for a person named "Jane Smith", and the closest result we have is "Tom Garcia", our similarity checks will discard the obviously incorrect result and return null instead of a false positive.
Include similarity checks to eliminate false positives. However, be aware that this might yield fewer results as false positives are discarded. Credits will still be deducted even if we return null.
You can choose to skip similarity checks, in which case no credits will be charged if we return null.
This parameter accepts the following values:

  • include (default) - Perform similarity checks and discard false positives. Credits will be deducted even if we return null .
  • skip - Bypass similarity checks. No credits will be deducted if no results are returned.
enrich_profile?string

Enrich the result with a cached profile of the lookup result.
The valid values are:

  • skip (default): do not enrich the results with cached profile data
  • enrich: enriches the result with cached profile data

Calling this API endpoint with this parameter would add 1 credit.
If you require fresh profile data, please chain this API call with the People Profile Endpoint with the use_cache=if-recent parameter.

location?string

The location of this user. Name of country, city or state.

title?string

Title that user is holding at his/her current job

last_name?string

Last name of the user
