Inputs

Name	Type	Required	Description
`data_include`	string	no	A comma-separated string of fields that you would like the response to include. Begin the string with a - if you would instead like to exclude the specified fields. If you would like to exclude all data from being returned, use data_include=“”. Example: “full_name,emails.address”

`from`	integer	no	An offset value for pagination. Can be a number between 0 and 9999. Pagination can be executed up to a maximum of 10,000 records per query. Be sure to use the “total” response field to help discover how many total records exist in the dataset for your query
`pretty`	boolean	no	Whether the output should have human-readable indentation.
`query`	string	no	An Elasticsearch (v7.7) query. See our underlying Elasticsearch mapping for reference. Example: “{"query": {"term": {"industry": "computer software"}}}”
`scroll_token`	string	no	Each search API response returns a scroll_token. Include it in the next request to fetch the next size matching records.
`size`	integer	yes	The number of matched records to return for this query if they exist*. Must be between 1 and 100
`sql`	string	no	A SQL query of the format: SELECT * FROM person WHERE XXX, where XXX is a standard SQL boolean query involving our person fields. Example: “SELECT * FROM person WHERE industry =‘computer software’”
`titlecase`	boolean	no	Setting titlecase to true will titlecase any records returned

Output

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

{ data: { id, sex, emails, skills: string[], regions, industry, profiles: { id, ... ...

The shape is cut here. Signed in, looot inspect people-data-labs-person-search-post prints all of 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:

  -H "Idempotency-Key: $(uuidgen)" \
