AI Ark / Find the person behind an email

AI Ark tool ai-ark-people-reverse-lookup on looot: input fields, $0.00539 per call, output shape, and code to run it with curl, JavaScript or Python.

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. Related Endpoints: • Export Single Person with Email, get a BounceBan-verified email for the identified person (1 credit) • Mobile Phone Finder, get their mobile number (5 credits/result) • Personality Analysis, personalize your outreach to this person (4 credits) Filter value lists: industries.csv (919) · technologies.csv (16,000+) · departments-and-functions.csv (592). All other allowed values are listed inline in the field descriptions below. Learn how to use this API to enrich leads inside Clay: Watch Video Rate limits: 5 requests per second by default.

Inputs

Name Type Required Description
search string yes The email address to look up, the only request field. Example: <code>jane.doe@example.com</code>.

Output

Shape of the run’s result, the expected shape, not yet checked against real answers:

{ id, link: { linkedin }, company: { link: { domain }, summary: { name } }, profile: { title, full_name, last_name, first_name }, location: { city, country, default } }

Run it

Every call needs your API token in LOOOT_TOKEN; Sign in shows how to get one. Each run also needs a new idempotency key, so a retry never pays twice. With wait: 30 the answer comes back inline when the run ends within 30 seconds. Otherwise you get the running run back: poll GET /v1/runs/<runId>.

Example input with placeholder values:

curl -X POST "https://api.looot.ai/v1/runs" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $LOOOT_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Idempotency-Key: $(uuidgen)" \
  -d '{"endpointId":"ai-ark-people-reverse-lookup","input":{"search":"<search>"},"wait":30}'
const response = await fetch("https://api.looot.ai/v1/runs", {
  method: "POST",
  headers: {
    Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.LOOOT_TOKEN}`,
    "Content-Type": "application/json",
    "Idempotency-Key": crypto.randomUUID(),
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    endpointId: "ai-ark-people-reverse-lookup",
    input: {
      search: "<search>",
    },
    wait: 30,
  }),
});
const run = await response.json();
console.log(run.status, run.result);
import os
import uuid

import requests

response = requests.post(
    "https://api.looot.ai/v1/runs",
    headers={
        "Authorization": f"Bearer {os.environ['LOOOT_TOKEN']}",
        "Idempotency-Key": str(uuid.uuid4()),
    },
    json={
        "endpointId": "ai-ark-people-reverse-lookup",
        "input": {
            "search": "<search>",
        },
        "wait": 30,
    },
    timeout=90,
)
run = response.json()
print(run["status"], run.get("result"))

To let looot pick among every provider of this job instead, send job:people.enrich.by-email as endpointId; see the job page.
