As an example, if we wanted to enrich Sean Thorne using the following query:

{
   "first_name": "sean",
   "last_name": "thorne",
   "company": "people data labs",
   "location": "abu dhabi",
   "include_if_matched": true
}

Since Sean's location is in California and not Abu Dhabi in the dataset, the response would contain:

{
   "matched": [
        "company",
        "name"
    ]
}
