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
An array of person records matching the query, each containing demographics, current and past work history, education, social profiles, and contact details, plus a scroll_token for fetching the next page of results.
Example use cases
Find decision makers at Fortune 500s
“Search the PDL person database for VP-level and above decision makers at Fortune 500 companies in the healthcare industry — filter on job_title_levels 'vp' or 'c_suite', industry 'health care', and company_size '>10000', and return up to 25 profiles with their work emails and LinkedIn URLs.”
Source senior engineers with ML skills
“Look through the PDL person database for senior or staff machine learning engineers currently based in the San Francisco Bay Area who have Python or TensorFlow in their skills — use an Elasticsearch query filtering on job_title_role 'engineering', job_title_levels 'senior', location_metro 'san francisco', and skills containing 'machine learning', and give me the first 20 results.”
Find recent graduates entering finance
“Query the PDL person database for people who graduated from an Ivy League university in the last three years and currently hold an entry-level role at a financial services company — filter on education_school_name for Ivy League schools, graduation year 2022 or later, industry 'financial services', and job_title_levels 'entry', returning up to 15 profiles with contact details.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://stablepeopledata.dev/api/pdl/person/searchWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need to search across a large corpus of 3B+ person records with flexible, expressive query logic (Elasticsearch DSL or SQL). Prefer this over enrichment endpoints when you don't have an identifier for a specific person and need to discover matching profiles based on attributes. Best for sales prospecting, lead generation, talent sourcing, and market research use cases requiring bulk or filtered person lookups.
Side effects

- Requested size exceeds allowed limit returns an error
- Insufficient PDL credits for the requested size returns a payment/quota error
- scroll_token expiration causes pagination to fail
- No matching records returns an empty results array
- Rate limiting or quota exhaustion returns a 429 error
