How do I keep the cost down?

Narrow the filters and set maxResults. The pricing model means precision saves money, which is a rare case of incentives pointing the right way.

Do I get email addresses?

Not from this source. Take the profile URL into LinkedIn people profile + Email, or use Email finder with the name and the company domain.

Do I pay for lookups that come back empty?

No. You are charged per result, so a request that finds nothing costs nothing. Testing this against a messy list is free to get wrong.

Comparison

Ways to get this data

Three approaches teams use today, and where each one runs into trouble.

Approach	What it takes	Cost	Trade-off
Searching and copying by hand	Filter, scroll, copy, repeat	Free, and hours per list	Nobody keeps a list current this way
A sales-intelligence seat	A per-seat contract with export limits	Per seat, annually	Export caps are the whole business model, so the data resists leaving the tool
NeuralVerge	One request, filters as parameters	Per block of 25 plus per profile	A loose query gets expensive quickly — the filters are there to be used

Integration

How to run it

The same lookup works from the app, the API, or as a tool an agent can call mid-task.

Every parameter is optional, which makes it easy to run an accidentally enormous query. Set maxResults and at least one narrowing filter before you run it for the first time.

curl -X POST https://api.neuralverge.ai/functions/v1/run-linkedin-people-search \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "searchQuery": "head of revenue operations",
    "currentJobTitleFilter": ["Head of Revenue Operations"],
    "seniorityLevelFilter": ["Director"],
    "locations": ["United States"],
    "maxResults": 25
  }'

Use cases

What teams use it for

Where this field shows up in an actual workflow.

Building a prospect list

Find the people holding a specific role across a defined set of companies.

Sourcing candidates

Filter by function, seniority and years of experience to build a shortlist.

Mapping a buying committee

Find everyone in the relevant function at an account, not just your one contact.

Refreshing contacts

Re-run a saved filter to catch the people who have changed roles.

Coverage & limits

Coverage, freshness and limits

What this source covers, how fresh it is, and where it stops.

Coverage

People with a public profile, worldwide.

Freshness

Searched at request time.

Handling

This source returns personal data. Use it for legitimate business purposes under your own lawful basis, honour deletion and opt-out requests, and check the acceptable use policy for what is out of bounds.

What it will not do

—Filter vocabularies are the platform's own — a seniority or function label may not map onto your internal one.
—A search with no filters and no result cap is the fastest way to spend points badly.
—Results reflect what people publish about themselves, including titles they gave themselves.

FAQ
