Searches Icypeas's people dataset by filters on the person and their current or past company. Send query; pagination.size sets the page (1 to 200). Returns leads with name, headline, address and last company details in the same call. Priced per person returned; icypeas-find-people-count sizes a query first.

- **Tool id:** `icypeas-find-people`
- **Provider:** [Icypeas](/providers/icypeas)
- **Job:** [Find people matching a filter](/reference/jobs/people-search) (`people.search`)
- **Price:** $0.00038 per result. A call that fails at the provider costs $0.

## Inputs

| Name | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `pagination` | object | no | Optional. Omit entirely for the first page (default page size 100), or set just `size` on that first call to change the page size; pass back the `token` from the previous response's `pagination` object to fetch the next page (leave `query` unchanged between pages -- changing it mid-pagination is undefined behavior, and tokens expire). |
| `query` | object | yes | Filter object for the people dataset. Each field takes \{include:[...], exclude:[...]\} (open text, max 200 values/array) unless noted. Person filters: firstname, lastname, currentJobTitle, pastJobTitle, school, languages, skills, location/profileLocation/workLocation (alpha-2 country codes preferred; a comma narrows a location, e.g. "Paris, France"), keyword (searches the whole profile). totalYearsOfExperience and timeInCurrentCompany are ranges, e.g. \{">=": 5, "<=": 10\}. Company filters come... |

## Output

Shape of the run's `result`, checked against 154 real answers:

```txt
{ leads: { address, headline, lastname, firstname, profileUrl, description, last... ...
```

The shape is cut here. Signed in, `looot inspect icypeas-find-people` prints all of it.

## Run it

Every call needs your API token in `LOOOT_TOKEN`; [Sign in](/get-started/sign-in#use-the-token-in-scripts-and-agents) 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>`.
