Contact Data
A person's work history, bio, skills, and more.
The Contact Data insight provides comprehensive information about an individual, including their professional profile, work history, education, skills, and more. This insight can be retrieved using either the contact's email address or their LinkedIn URL.
Note: the only current available parameters for
generate-insights
arecontactEmail
andcontactLinkedinUrl
.
- The system will pass back an array of insights, ranked by relevance.
- The below documentation still accurately covers our schema, and demonstrates what might exist in that array.
- Soon, you'll be able to specify certain insight types in your API request. Coming Q3 2024.
