How this service works
PDL Person Search - Search across 3B+ person records using Elasticsearch DSL or SQL queries. Returns matching person records with pagination via scroll_token. Price scales with the requested `size` (1 PDL credit per result).
Output
Returns matching person records including name, job title, employer, location, email addresses, phone numbers, education history, social profiles, and other demographic fields depending on the requested dataset. Also returns a scroll_token for fetching subsequent pages and a total count of matching records.
Example use cases
B2B prospecting list for sales team
“Find me 25 VP-level marketing professionals working at SaaS companies in New York using a SQL query like SELECT * FROM person WHERE job_title LIKE '%VP%' AND job_company_industry = 'internet software and services' AND location_metro = 'new york'”
Recruiting outreach for engineering roles
“Search People Data Labs for senior software engineers in Seattle who have Python and machine learning skills — I need 15 results and want to include phone and email contact data in the response.”
Paginating through large person search results
“I already ran a People Data Labs person search and got a scroll_token back — can you fetch the next batch of 20 results using that pagination token?”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://stable-people-data-git-shafu-pdl-api-settl-95fdf9-merit-systems.vercel.app/api/pdl/person/searchWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need to search across a large, broad population of person records using flexible query logic (SQL or Elasticsearch DSL). Prefer this over person enrichment when you don't have a known identifier but want to discover people matching demographic, professional, or geographic criteria. Ideal for building prospect lists, recruiting pipelines, or audience segments at scale with pagination support.
Side effects
- Invalid or malformed Elasticsearch DSL query returns a 400 error
- SQL syntax errors cause query rejection
- Requesting size > 100 fails schema validation
- Expired or invalid scroll_token breaks pagination
- Insufficient PDL credits causes a 402 or rejection
- No matching records returns an empty results array
- Dataset parameter with unsupported value causes an error
