Use the Get Complete Person Info endpoint to retrieve complete details about a person in the Apollo database, including employment history, location, and the full details of the person's current organization.

Reading the email field

This endpoint doesn't reveal verified emails for people you haven't saved as contacts. Instead of the address — and instead of null — email contains the fixed placeholder [email protected], and every unrevealed person returns that same value.

Because the placeholder is a non-empty string, it passes checks that assume an email is either usable or absent:

• Truthiness and null checks don't catch it. if (person.email) succeeds, so code may treat an unrevealed person as though you have their address.

• email breaks as a dedupe or upsert key. Identical placeholders collapse unrelated people into one record.

email_status does not distinguish it either: it describes the address Apollo holds internally, so it reads verified even when email is the placeholder. Use it to judge deliverability once you have a real address, not to decide whether you have one. The field only ever returns one of three values — verified, extrapolated, or unavailable.

Recommended handling: compare email against the literal placeholder string and treat a match as "no email available yet". The response also omits contact_id and revealed_for_current_team for people who aren't your contacts, which is a useful second signal. To get the real address, call People Enrichment or Bulk People Enrichment, which never substitute the placeholder.
