The Person Search API gives you access to every profile in our full Person Dataset, which you can filter and segment using a search query. You can build a search query from searchable fields in the Person Schema to target only the person profiles that you are interested in.
This request uses a POST method. See this article for a comparison of the differences between GET and POST requests. The biggest difference is that POST requests don't have any limits on the amount of data that you can pass in the request.
The API Explorer Tool has been deprecated
This tool will be officially removed from our documentation on November 11, 2025.
We built a new tool called the API Playground that is accessible from the API Dashboard so you can query live data with a single click without leaving the dash.
Use the field descriptions on the Person Schema, the underlying Elasticsearch Mapping, or build your query interactively with Query Builder Tool in the API Dashboard to help write and test Elasticsearch queries for our Search APIs.
