# Get company people
> Returns the people Specter has on file for a company — founders and employees — as a list. Use each `person_id` with [Get person info by ID](/api-reference/people/get-person-info-by-id) to pull a full profile.
Costs 1 credit per request.
## Behaviour
- Returns at most 100 people per request (default 50).
- Narrow results with `founders`, `ceo`, `key_people`, and `department` — these filters can be combined.
- Page through large teams with `limit` and `page` (`page` is zero-based).
- Returns `404` if the company ID doesn't exist.
