## Tool details

**About this tool**

Search Exa's people index using a role, location, company or other profile description. Returns profile titles, source URLs and optional page text. The first ten requested slots share one search charge; additional requested slots are included in the upfront quote. A completed search, including a valid empty answer, costs that quote. This searches indexed profiles; email and phone enrichment are separate tools. The worked example shows selected fields from a recorded response, with at most the first item of each list.
