Request

bash

curl "$API_URL/v1/actions/person-lookup/run/live" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $API_KEY" \
  -H "Idempotency-Key: unique-person-lookup-001" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
  "input": {
    "linkedin_profile_url": "https://www.linkedin.com/in/satyanadella/"
  },
  "max_results": 1,
  "max_credits": 1
}'

Parameter	Requirement
`input.linkedin_profile_url`	Required non-empty string, at most 500 characters.
`max_results`	Integer from 1 to 1. Default 1.
`max_credits`	Optional positive integer; must cover the requested reservation.
`Idempotency-Key`	Required; 8–128 letters, numbers, underscores, hyphens, or colons.
`input.linkedin_profile_url`	LinkedIn profile URL (alternative to name & company)
`input.first_name`	First name (when looking up by name)
`input.last_name`	Last name (when looking up by name)
`input.company`	Current company name or ID (when looking up by name)

Output fields

The response contains an output array. Available record fields include:

full_name
first_name
last_name
company_name
job_title
location
linkedin_profile_url
sales_navigator_profile_url
sales_navigator_profile_id
connection_degree
tenure_start
summary
profile_image_url

Fields not available from the source are omitted. Your parser must tolerate absent properties and empty arrays. Examples are illustrative, not live customer data.

Completion and retries

Both 200 and 202 are valid responses. Read status: a live call can remain queued when capacity is busy. Poll the run until it reaches a terminal state. A terminal failed run can have HTTP 200; inspect its error and status, not just the HTTP code.

Reuse the same idempotency key and request body after a network timeout. A changed request under the same key returns 409.

Coverage notes

Provide either a LinkedIn profile URL or first name, last name, and current company name or ID.

See coverage and limits before planning a production dependency. For async execution, replace /run/live with /run/async using the same input.
