Search people

Search people

Returns preview profiles of contacts who match job title, seniority, department, location and company filters, each listing which emails and phones can be revealed and at what credit cost.

Note: Resolve seniority, department and location values with prospecting_contact_filters first, which is free. Previews carry no emails or phones: reveal the people you keep with prospecting_contact_enrich.

• 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.
