Search companies

Search companies

Returns up to 100 company records per call that match an Elasticsearch or SQL query over PDL's company fields, such as industry, size, location and funding.

Note: Each record returned costs one credit, and size defaults to 1 (up to 100): set it, and page with scroll_token.

Set up

Use the first option your agent supports.

API (official)

• Base URL: https://api.peopledatalabs.com
• Endpoint: POST /v5/company/search
• Auth: send the header X-Api-Key: $PDL_API_KEY
• Get a key: https://dashboard.peopledatalabs.com/api-keys
• Docs: https://docs.peopledatalabs.com/docs/authentication

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.
