Search people

Search people

Returns people from lemlist's B2B database who match filters such as country, job title or department, with their LinkedIn profile and current company but no email address.

Send filters, each a filterId with in and out value lists (GET /database/filters lists the filter ids), and optionally a free-text search. Pages hold up to 100 people (size), and searches are limited to a number of queries every 24 hours, reported in the response's limitation. Enrich the people you keep to get their emails.
