Search people
Live people search with structured filters.
https://api.up2data.ai/v1/search/peoplePass structured filters; at least one is required. Geo, industry, company, and school filters take LinkedIn IDs, not free text. Runs the same search as Search people (Sales Navigator) and returns the same results; use that endpoint to paste a Sales Navigator URL instead. meta.resolved_search_url is the equivalent LinkedIn search URL. Empty pages are free. A single call returns at most 100 results (pagination.has_more is true when more exist).
Counts as 1 request against the 300/min per-key limit and 1 search against the 20/hour per-organization search quota. See Rate limits.
Send many as batch operation items (operation search.people.sales_nav, with body.filters); up to 2,500 results per item. See the batch endpoint.
