Data points

What a person record contains

One request returns all eleven categories in the same JSON shape, so your integration never has to branch on which fields showed up. Anything we could not verify comes back null rather than a filled-in guess, and your product picks the fields it actually needs.

  1. Identity

    Full name, primary identifiers, and canonical profile references. The single anchor every other field hangs off.

  2. Job & Company

    Current title, seniority, department, and the company the person works at right now, with firmographic context attached.

  3. Work Experience

    Full career history in chronological order, including role, company, dates, and tenure per position.

  4. Location

    Current city, region, country, and time zone where available, plus prior locations attached to previous roles.

  5. Email Addresses

    Verified work emails with per-address validation status and a confidence score, not just a syntactic check.

  6. Phone Numbers

    Direct and switchboard numbers where sourced legitimately, each with validation status.

  7. Education

    Degrees, institutions, fields of study, and dates, so you can filter by academic background or credential.

  8. Skills

    Self-declared and inferred skills attached to the profile, useful for talent search and audience segmentation.

  9. Languages

    Spoken and written languages with proficiency where available.

  10. Professional Profile

    Bio, summary, and long-form professional context taken from public work-oriented sources.

  11. Network Signals

    Recent activity, role changes, and other movement signals that flag when a profile is due for a re-fetch.

How to access it

Four ways to query it

Four endpoints, one response shape. Which one you reach for depends on the identifier you already hold, whether that is a work email, a name plus company, a social URL, or a set of filters describing the person you have not met yet.

POST /v2/enrich/personscache

Person Enrichment API

Match on email, name plus company, or a social URL. The full profile comes back in one call, with the null-return safeguard on every match so your CRM never inherits a wrong record.

Input · email · name + domainLearn more
POST /v2/search/peoplecache

People Search API

Filter by title, seniority, location, industry, and company size to build candidate lists or target audiences at scale, no prospecting seat licenses required.

Person Social Data API

Pass a social URL and get the structured profile behind it, useful when your product already captures the URL upstream and needs the rest of the record.

Email Finder API

Verified work email through a multi-provider waterfall, with per-address validation status and a confidence score returned with every result.

Quality

What runs on every record before we return it

Before a profile leaves our system, it clears identity resolution against a confidence threshold, is compared to its previous version for consistency, and passes bot and fake profile filters. Emails and phone numbers run through real-time validation on the same request, so the response you receive has already survived every check we apply.

Read our Data Quality Standard
Freshness
Every profile carries a last-updated timestamp in its payload. Your integration can read that field and decide, per record, whether the cached version is fresh enough or a live re-fetch is worth the extra latency.
Resolution
Choose cache or live retrieval on a per-request basis. The endpoint stays the same, and the response shape stays the same. You are only changing whether we return the last stored version or resolve the person again in real time.
Filtering
Duplicate records, dormant profiles, and known bot patterns are stripped upstream. You receive the current, active version of the person rather than a merge candidate you have to sort out later in your own pipeline.
Billing
If no verified match comes back, no credit is charged. The null-return safeguard runs at both the data layer and the invoice layer, so a strict precision setting does not carry a hidden cost.

Use cases

Where the people data API earns its keep

Four integration patterns that show up on almost every call with a data team building on the API. For each one, the endpoint they reach for, the fields they lean on, and what changes inside the product on the other side.

Sales productsenrich · search · email

Convert a signup into a scored, contactable lead before your first outreach.

When a prospect drops a work email or a social URL into your product, one API call resolves them into a full profile your scoring logic can read. Only when the lead clears your threshold do you spend a credit on a verified contact detail, so verification cost tracks intent rather than volume.

  • Job and company as the primary scoring inputs
  • Email Addresses with per-address confidence
  • Network Signals to detect buying committee membership
Fewer bounces, faster speed-to-lead.See use case
Recruiting productssearch · social · enrich

Build talent pipelines on structured career data your matching model can actually rank.

The Search endpoint returns a ranked list from the filters your product already exposes to recruiters. A follow-up Enrichment call pulls the full career record for anyone shortlisted, so your matching model reasons over real fields rather than parsed resume text.

Structured pipelines your model can score reliably.

  • Work Experience tenure per role
  • Skills and Languages exposed as filtered facets in your UI
  • Education for credential-based matching
Shortlists built on facts, not keywords.See use case
CRM enrichmentenrich · webhooks

Push clean, current contact data into your CRM without a nightly batch job.

Subscribe to webhooks and your CRM receives an enrichment payload the moment a record needs it or a person changes roles. Your merge logic handles the incoming data against your own deduplication rules, and the pipeline stays current without anyone opening a spreadsheet after hours.

A pipeline that runs itself while your ops team sleeps.

  • Identity fields to merge on a stable person's ID
  • Job and company to fill the highest-value gaps
  • Last-updated timestamp as your re-fetch retrigger
A CRM your reps actually trust.See use case
AI productsenrich · MCP

Ground your agent stack in verified person context before the model reasons over it.

Serve the API through an MCP endpoint and any assistant in your stack can request a person record on demand. Every response carries a confidence score, so your agent branches on precision instead of treating every returned answer as equally trustworthy.

Confidence-gated reasoning that stops before it hallucinates.

  • Professional Profile as primary context payload
  • Confidence score to match agents behaviour
  • null return so the model knows when to stop reasoning
Agents that act on facts.See use case

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Can't find the answers to your questions? Reach out to us by clicking here.

What counts as B2B people data?

Structured professional information about individuals in a work context: name, current title, company, work history, education, skills, seniority, industry, and location. Reverse Contact returns all of these through the people data API in a single verified profile.

Which fields does your people data API return?

Identity, professional history, education, skills, languages, location, industry, seniority, social signals, and metadata like last-updated timestamps and confidence scores. Full schema in the Documentation.

How do you handle uncertain matches?

We return null instead of a best guess. Every response includes a confidence score so your product decides what to do with borderline matches. You can also raise the precision threshold in your request.

How fresh is the data?

Retrieve profiles live on demand for maximum freshness, or pull from our database for lower latency. Every response includes a last-updated timestamp.

How is this different from a reverse email lookup tool?

Lookup tools return a name and maybe a title. Our people data API returns a full structured B2B profile per person: identity, professional history, education, skills, location, and more, built to be embedded in products and workflows.

Is Reverse Contact compliant with GDPR and CCPA?

Yes. Compliance is built into how we collect and process data. Full documentation in the Trust Center.
