Reverse People Lookup API

Identifies a person from an email address: if a person with that email exists in the AI Ark database, you get back their full profile (name, title, company, LinkedIn, and more) — similar to a People Search result, excluding valid email and mobile phone. Useful for enriching inbound leads, newsletter signups, form fills, and CRM records where you only have an email. A 404 means no profile with this email was found.
The search parameter contains the email address to look up and is the only request field.

💳 Credit Usage: 0.5 credits per request.
