Context.dev Launches People Search API
Context.dev’s People Search API lets developers describe a target cohort in plain English, then returns up to 10 structured profiles per call with roles, employers, locations, experience, skills, schools, and public profile links. It supports filters, cursor pagination, multiple SDKs, and a free 1,000-credit tier. [Official API page](https://www.trycontext.dev/people-search-api)
This is useful agent infrastructure for turning fuzzy recruiting and prospecting intent into structured records, but freshness, provenance, and match quality will determine whether it works in production.
- –Natural-language queries reduce the schema and filter-building work required for AI agents.
- –Country and experience filters, cursor pagination, and typed SDKs make the endpoint practical for outbound research and candidate sourcing.
- –It returns professional context, not emails or phone numbers, so teams still need downstream enrichment and CRM workflows.
- –The free tier lowers experimentation costs, but broad searches require pagination and additional credits.
- –Product Hunt feedback already flags job-title freshness as a key risk; stale people data can quickly undermine hiring and sales use cases. [Product Hunt](https://www.producthunt.com/products/context-dev)
