Request parameters

Required inputs - provide one of:

person name (full_name, or first_name + last_name) and company (domain or company_name)
linkedin_url only - use when name and company aren't available
both - we first run the name + company lookup, and if it doesn't return a valid email, we fall back to searching the LinkedIn profile (which may return an email at a different company than the one you provided)

Domain vs. company name:

domain produces the most accurate results - use it whenever you have it. If you only have a company name, use company_name and we'll try to resolve a domain from it. When both are provided, domain is used first.

Send as JSON in the POST body:

Parameter	Example value	Description
`domain` string - optional	`"microsoft.com"`	The company's domain. If a company name is passed here, we'll attempt to find the domain.
`company_name` string - optional	`"Microsoft"`	The company name. If a domain is passed here, we'll detect and treat it accordingly.
`first_name` string - optional	`"John"`	First name of the person.
`last_name` string - optional	`"Doe"`	Last name of the person.
`full_name` string - optional	`"John Doe"`	Alternative to first + last name.
`linkedin_url` string - optional	`"https://www.linkedin.com/in/satyanadella/"`	Can be used alone, or together with name and company.

Headers

Parameter	Example value	Description
`x-webhook-url` string - optional	`"https://yourdomain.com/webhook"`	If provided, the result will be POSTed to this URL instead of waiting for the response.

Property Type Description

credits_charged number Number of credits charged for this request.

email string | null The email found, or null if not found.Tip: if you want only valid emails, use valid_email.

email_status

string

The email status. One of the following:

`valid`	The email is deliverable and verified.
`not_found`	No email could be found for this person.
`blacklisted`	This email or domain is blocked due to a request or policy restriction.

From 5 October 2026 searches no longer return risky emails. A search that would have returned a risky email returns not_found instead. Nothing else in the response changes. Risky emails were never charged, so billing is unaffected. The verify-email endpoint keeps the risky status. Learn about email verification statuses
