Find person ID
Resolve a batch of LinkedIn identifiers (profile URL, vanity id, numeric id, or URN) into the Specter person_id. Re-use that id with the id-only people endpoints such as Get person by ID.
Free. This call does not consume credits. The id-only endpoints you call next are charged as usual.
What you need
One or more LinkedIn identifiers to resolve (1–50 per request). No Specter ID is required; that is what this returns.
Behaviour
- Pass identifiers under
to_resolve(1–50 per request). Each entry must carry exactly one identifier; none, or more than one, returns a validation error. - The response has one result group per input, in the same order, so you can attribute each result back to what you sent.
queryechoes the identifier. - Every identifier form addresses a single profile, so
matchesholds at most one person. - An identifier Specter doesn’t hold keeps its place with an empty
matcheslist. Nothing is enriched — use Enrich person when you want the profile fetched.
What you do next
- Get the full profile. Pass the returned
person_idto Get person by ID. - Reach out. Get a verified address with Get person email.
- Watch for moves. Pull their signal history with Get person talent signals.
