How this service works
Search for people using filters Pagination billing: call the first page normally and save billing.requestId from the Orthogonal /v1/run response. For later page, offset, or cursor calls on the same logical search, pass parentRequestId with unchanged non-pagination parameters. Valid continuation calls still get their own request IDs and quoted price, but are charged 0. Changing filters starts a new billable request.
Output
A paginated list of professional profiles matching the search filters, each containing name, current job title, company, location, job status, follower/connection counts, work experience, and education. When getDetailedWorkExperience or getDetailedEducation is enabled, enriched items include LinkedIn URLs, company websites, and location details. The response also includes a cursor for pagination and a billing.requestId to use as parentRequestId for subsequent pages at no additional charge.
Example use cases
Recruiting outreach candidate list
“Find me 25 product managers in New York with 7 or more years of experience who are currently employed — include their detailed work experience so I can personalize my outreach.”
Sales prospecting by company and title
“Search for VP of Engineering or CTO profiles at companies in the fintech space in London, give me the first 15 results with any available follower and connection counts.”
Founder research for stealth exits
“Find people who recently left stealth companies in the US, up to 20 profiles, filtered to those who've been in their new role for less than a year — I want to track post-stealth career moves.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://x402.orthogonal.com/fiber/v1/people-searchWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need to search for professional profiles with complex, multi-dimensional filters (title, company, location, experience, education, language, connections) and require paginated results with cost-efficient continuation. Prefer this over simpler people-search APIs when you need structured billing control across pagination, stealth company tracking, or detailed enriched work/education history.
Side effects
- Invalid or expired cursor returns an error or empty results
- Missing required searchParams causes a 400 bad request
- Changing filter parameters while passing parentRequestId starts a new billable request
- Rate limits or quota exhaustion return a 429 or payment-related error
- Overly broad queries may return too many results requiring pagination
- getDetailedWorkExperience or getDetailedEducation flags significantly increase response latency
