ICP Search Filter Reference

All filter values are human-readable strings — no internal IDs required. Pass them directly in your search request. Use GET /api/v1/people-search/filters to retrieve all valid values at once — useful for populating dropdowns. No credits consumed.

  -H "Authorization: Bearer <your_api_key>"

Filters come in two kinds, and /people-search/filters reports both.Closed vocabularies — seniority, headcount, company type, function, industry and the rest — have a fixed set of values, listed under filters. Pick from those exactly.Free-text filters — location, job_title, company_name, school, technology — are resolved from whatever string you send, so they have no value list. They are listed under filters.dynamic_fields with a description instead of values. Use /people-search/suggest to preview how a given string will resolve.
