Error Handling

• 400 - Invalid parameter values. Check accepted values lists above (especially seniority and industry).
• 404 - Person/company not found. Try different identifiers or broader search.
• 429 - Rate limited. People Search: 60/min, Email Verify: 150/min, Others: 1000/min.

Tips

• Use /v1/people/count first (free) to estimate results before committing to paid calls
• Personal emails have higher match rates than work emails for email enrichment
• For batch operations, v1 batch supports up to 30 profiles synchronously
• People enrich works best with a LinkedIn URL as the primary identifier
