Social Check API
/social_check
Runs a social media intelligence check using phone numbers, email addresses or social profile URLs. The response is a rich social profile: linked accounts, employment history, education history, interests, skills, location, and a confidence-graded match score. Accepts batch input in a single call (a comma-separated list of phones, emails and profile URLs).

What does person_id enable?
add
What does person_id enable?
It’s a stable identifier across lookups. If two different inputs (a phone and an email, for example) resolve to the same person, they share a person_id. Use it to deduplicate when you’re running multiple inputs and assembling a single canonical profile.

Can I use social records for marketing?

Can I use social records for marketing?
The endpoint doesn’t return opt-in status for social records. Treat the data as identity context only. Don’t use it as a basis for outbound marketing without independent opt-in verification.
