POST /api/resolve/people

Price: 40 credits

Every record our sources hold about one person, from a profile URL or one of the person's identifiers, with the follow-up calls worth making next.

How to use it

Use when you hold something that identifies one person: url for a profile link (LinkedIn, X, Instagram, YouTube, GitHub and others), or id with id_type for a bare identifier such as an X handle (id_type twitter_user) or a LinkedIn alias, profile URN or member id. Returns each source's record whole, the person's identifiers and ready follow-up calls in next, whose params pass as-is. For a name use resolve/people/search.

Parameters

• access-token string required

Response

• @type string (default: "ResolvedPerson")
• id string nullable — The person's identifier the call was made with, as type:value (examples: "twitter_user:neiltyson")
• links array — Records tied to the person, strongest first (default: [])
  • @type string (default: "PersonLink")
  • source string required — Platform the record comes from (examples: "twitter")
  • endpoint string required — Endpoint that returned the record, callable as it is (examples: "twitter/user")
  • record object required — The record exactly as that endpoint returns it
  • confidence number required — Confidence that the record is this person, 0 to 1
  • method string required — How the record was tied to the person: input_id (fetched by the given identifier), <identifier>_match (carries an identifier the person holds), hub_link (reached through a linked record's identifier) (examples: "input_id")
  • evidence string required — The field and value that tie the record to the person
  • partial boolean — The source stopped before it answered in full (default: false)
• identifiers object — Every identifier of the person found in the records, by type: the primary value, the platforms carrying it and the other values found (default: {})
  • * object
    • @type string (default: "ResolvedIdentifier")
    • value string required — Identifier value (examples: "stripe.com")
    • sources array required — Platforms whose records carry this value
    • alternatives array — Other values of the same identifier carried by the records, most carried first (default: [])
      • @type string (default: "IdentifierValue")
      • value string required — Identifier value (examples: "stripe.com")
      • sources array required — Platforms whose records carry this value
• not_found object — Endpoints checked that gave no record, grouped by why
  • @type string (default: "NotFound")
  • no_record array — Endpoints that answered without a record (default: [])
  • error array — Endpoints that failed to answer (default: [])
  • timeout array — Endpoints that ran out of their time budget (default: [])
  • skipped array — Endpoints that do not take the identifier they were given (default: [])
• next array — Follow-up calls for this person, most used first, each with its payload filled in (default: [])
  • @type string (default: "NextCall")
  • endpoint string required — Endpoint to call next (examples: "webparser/render")
  • params object required — Its payload, ready to send (examples: {"url":"https://stripe.com"})

Errors

• 422 — Not exactly one of url, or id with id_type; or the value is not of that kind. Check the fields against this schema. A URN with the wrong prefix is the most common cause.
• 408 — The request ran past its time limit Raise `timeout` in the request body, up to the maximum this endpoint documents. Lowering `count` or turning off the `with_*` flags also helps, because less work finishes sooner.
• 412 — No source holds a record of this person. Retrying will not help: either the entity does not exist, or the input points at a different one.
• 429 — Too many requests: a rate limit or a usage window is exhausted When the response carries an X-Retry-After header, wait that many seconds and retry: the same number is in the body as `detail.retry_after`, and the limit clears once that window passes. The message in the body names the limit that was hit.
• 500 — Something broke on our side Retrying will not help. If it keeps happening, send us the X-Request-ID from the response headers.
• 529 — Rate limit reached, or the endpoint is overloaded Wait at least 30 seconds, then retry.

Response headers

• X-Error — Error message text (present only on error)
• X-Request-ID — Unique request identifier
• X-Execution-Time — Execution time in seconds
• X-Result-Count — How many records the body carries. 0 means an empty result, which is a normal answer and not by itself an error. A non-zero count can come back together with X-Error when the failure happened partway through — read this header and X-Error independently.
• X-Total-Available-Results — How many records exist for this query, when the endpoint can say. On a `dry_run` request this is the answer and the body is empty. It saturates: the endpoint's documented maximum means 'at least that many', any smaller number is exact.
• X-Warning — Present when the request body carried keys this endpoint does not document. They were ignored, so any filter you meant to apply through them did not apply. Check the spelling against this schema and retry.
• X-Retry-After — Seconds to wait before retrying. Present only on 429.
