People API Search

Use the People API Search endpoint to find net new people in the Apollo database. Several filters are available to help narrow your search.

This endpoint is optimized for API usage and does not consume credits. This endpoint is primarily designed for prospecting net new people.

This endpoint does not return email addresses or phone numbers. Use the People Enrichment or Bulk People Enrichment endpoints to enrich data. This endpoint requires a master API key. Refer to Create API Keys to learn how to create a master API key.



To protect Apollo's performance for all users, this endpoint has a display limit of 50,000 records (100 records per page, up to 500 pages). Add more filters to narrow your search results as much as possible. This limitation does not restrict your access to Apollo's database; you just need to access the data in batches.

Query Params
person_titles[]
array of strings

Job titles held by the people you want to find. For a person to be included in search results, they only need to match 1 of the job titles you add. Adding more job titles expands your search results.

Results also include job titles with the same terms, even if they are not exact matches. For example, searching for marketing manager might return people with the job title content marketing manager.

Use this parameter in combination with the person_seniorities[] parameter to find people based on specific job functions and seniority levels.

Examples: sales development representative; marketing manager; research analyst

person_titles[]
boolean

This parameter determines whether people with job titles similar to the titles you define in the person_titles[] parameter are returned in the response.

Set this parameter to false when using person_titles[] to return only strict matches for job titles.

string

A string of words over which we want to filter the results.

person_locations[]
array of strings

The location where people live. You can search across cities, US states, and countries.

To find people based on the headquarters locations of their current employer, use the organization_locations parameter.

Examples: california; ireland; chicago

person_locations[]
person_seniorities[]
array of strings

The job seniority that people hold within their current employer. This enables you to find people that currently hold positions at certain reporting levels, such as Director level or senior IC level.

For a person to be included in search results, they only need to match 1 of the seniorities you add. Adding more seniorities expands your search results.

Searches only return results based on their current job title, so searching for Director-level employees only returns people that currently hold a Director-level title. If someone was previously a Director, but is currently a VP, they would not be included in your search results.

Use this parameter in combination with the person_titles[] parameter to find people based on specific job functions and seniority levels.

The following options can be used for this parameter:

  • owner
  • founder
  • c_suite

  • vp
  • head
  • director

  • senior
  • entry
  • intern

person_seniorities[]
organization_locations[]
array of strings

The location of the company headquarters for a person's current employer. You can search across cities, US states, and countries.

If a company has several office locations, results are still based on the headquarters location. For example, if you search chicago but a company's HQ location is in boston, people that work for the Boston-based company will not appear in your results, even if they match other \parameters.

To find people based on their personal location, use the person_locations parameter.

Examples: texas; tokyo; spain
