How this service works
Search for people with a natural-language query, or continue a previous search by resubmitting a request_id or cursor. Nyne's upstream docs also describe GET /person/search polling, but the current PaySponge purchase service does not register that route and returns 404 there as of May 4, 2026. Use POST /person/search with request_id or cursor for continuation on the live x402 wrapper.
Output
Returns a JSON object with a request_id, search status, an array of person profiles (each containing name, location, headline, bio, social profiles, emails, phone numbers, organization history, education, AI insights, and relevance score), pagination fields (has_more, next_cursor, offset, limit), and cache metadata. Results may be pending on first call if the search is still processing.
Example use cases
Find biotech recruiters with contact info
“Search for talent acquisition managers and technical recruiters at biotech or pharmaceutical companies in the Boston area — I want their work emails and phone numbers if available, and give me AI insights on the top 10 results.”
Discover climate tech startup founders
“Find me up to 15 high-quality profiles of founders or co-founders running early-stage climate tech or clean energy startups — ideally people who've recently raised seed or Series A funding. Include their emails and any AI insights about their background.”
Paginate previous sales prospect search
“I ran a search earlier and got the first page of results — here's the request_id from that search. Pull me the next page of profiles using the cursor so I don't have to pay for a full new search.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://api.paysponge.com/x402/purchase/svc_d5ymfernpzeh58gb8/person/searchWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need to find people using a natural-language description rather than structured filters alone, especially when you want contact information (emails, phones), AI-generated insights, or profile relevance scores. Prefer the premium tier for richer results; use light for faster, cheaper lookups. Use cursor or request_id continuation to paginate beyond the initial results without paying for a full re-search.
Side effects
- Query missing with no cursor or request_id provided — schema validation error
- offset + limit exceeds 1000 — rejected with validation error
- Invalid cursor or request_id — returns not_found or error status
- Payment not confirmed on-chain — 402 response before results are returned
- Search still processing — status is pending/in_progress with empty results array, poll with request_id
- GET /person/search returns 404 — only POST is supported on this live endpoint
