What the enrich_profiles Parameter Does
How enrich_profiles works, when to use it, and its effect on credit usage.
Adding enrich_profiles=enrich to your API request pulls in additional profile data beyond what a basic match returns. This lets you turn a LinkedIn URL or domain match into a fully enriched profile in a single request.
What it adds
When enabled, enrich_profiles returns additional fields such as:
- Job title and company
- Work history
- Education
Effect on credits
Enabling enrich_profiles=enrich increases credit usage per result, as enrichment pulls in more detailed data. This typically adds 1 extra credit per profile, though the exact cost may vary by endpoint.
When to use it
Use enrich_profiles=enrich when you need rich, structured data for:
- Lead scoring or routing
- CRM enrichment
- Recruiting insights
- Persona development
If you're testing or want to minimize credit usage, leave it off and enrich selected profiles separately.
Example
{
"query": {
"role": "engineer",
"location": "San Francisco"
},
"page_size": 10,
"enrich_profiles": "enrich"
}This searches for profiles and enriches each result in the same request.
Key points
- Optional parameter — omit it for lightweight lookups
- Increases credit consumption per result
- Best for production use cases where you need complete records immediately
