# Search people

Returns people in 6sense's B2B database who match company domain, job title, level, function, location or industry filters, without their emails or phone numbers.

Note: Costs no credits and returns no emails or phones: enrich the matches by their people ID to get them. Each filter takes up to 10 values, filters combine as a flat AND of ORs, and pages hold up to 1,000 people.

## Set up

Use the first option your agent supports.

### API (official)

- Base URL: https://api.6sense.com
- Endpoint: `POST /v2/search/people`
- Auth: send the header `Authorization: Token $SIXSENSE_API_KEY`
- Get a key: https://abm.6sense.com/login?redirect=%2Fsettings%2Fintegration%2Fapitokenmanagement
- Docs: https://api.6sense.com/docs/

Before anything else, confirm access with the cheapest read-only call, like a list or a search. Never send or change anything to test access.

## Rules

- Ask the user before anything that sends messages, costs money, or changes data, and say how many records it touches. One approval covers a batch the user has seen.
- Never print API keys.
