Finding detailed professional information about a person can be time-consuming
You may have a Profile URL, name, or just a basic identifier, but manually collecting work current job, experience, education, location, social profiles, and other details from different sources takes time.
This is where Person Enrichment API can simplify this whole process.
With EnrichmentAPI's Person API, you can retrieve structured profile information in seconds- making it easier to build prospecting tools, automate research, create people data workflow, or enrich CRM records.
What is Person Enrichment API?
A Person Enrichment API takes a person's profile id and return professional profile information about that individual in structured format.
Instead of manually opening profiles and collecting information field by field, you can make an API request and receive the available profile data in formatted way and JSON.
Depending on the available data, this can include information such as:
Full name
Current job title
Company
Email
Work experience
Education
Location
Skills
and more
How Person Enrichment API Works
The workflow is simple:
Person's Profile URL → Person API → Enriched Profile
We will pass profile URL as parameters to the /person endpoint. You can also test this API directly from the dashboard and read the documentation. To get at dashboard register or sign in yourself.
As shown in the image above you can easily try the API directly from the dashboard if you are not a technical person. But if you are developer and want to run it in your Python or Node.js environment, then you can copy the code directly from the Get Code button on dashboard.

Why Use a Person Enrichment API?
Manually researching people does not scale.
Just imagine you need to enrich 1000 leads, visiting profiles individually, coping information, cleaning it and putting everything in your CRM can take lot of time.
With an API-based workflow, you can:
Automate profile enrichment
Keep CRM data more complete
Reduce manual research
Create your own people-data product
If you already have a person's profile URL, the EnrichmentAPI Person API provides a straightforward way to retrieve available profile information in a structured format.
Instead of manually researching every person, you can integrate the API into your application and make profile enrichment part of your existing workflow.
Find a person. Enrich their profile. Put the data to work.
