  • Daydream
  • Super.com
Start with what you know
Use an email or social profile URL, or combine a name with company, education, or location details.
Keep the useful context
Get available profile details such as a current role, work history, education, location, and social links.
Inspect the match
Use the returned candidate status and match score to decide how your application handles the profile.

One identifier.
More context.

Send the identity details you have and inspect match.status. Candidate profiles include a score; a not_found result lets your product handle missing data explicitly.

npm install context.dev
TypeScriptpeople-enrichment.ts
import ContextDev from 'context.dev';

const client = new ContextDev({ apiKey: 'YOUR_API_KEY' });

const { match } = await client.people.enrich({
  email: 'alex@example.com',
});

if (match.status === 'candidate') {
  console.log(match.person, match.score);
} else {
  console.log('No matching profile found.');
}

From your first requestto a working feature.

  1. Provide an identity

    Send an email, social URL, or a name with enough context to distinguish the person.

  2. Review the candidate

    Inspect the match score and available profile fields before using the result.

  3. Connect person and company

    Enrich the organization domain with Retrieve Brand to give your agent both sides of the relationship.

A few things
to know.

More details in the API documentation.

What can I use to find someone?

Use an email or social profile URL. A name can also be combined with company, education, or location context to help identify the right person.

Is every field available for every person?

No. Profile fields depend on the available data. Treat missing values as unknown and check current_role_status before interpreting an absent current role.

What happens when no profile is found?

The response returns match.status as not_found, with null person and score fields. Your application can request more identifying context or continue without an enriched profile.

How does this work with company enrichment?

People Enrichment returns person context. When an organization domain is available, use Retrieve Brand for that company’s logos, colors, description, and other available brand fields.
