Set People Lists

POST/v2/people/lists/set

Sets the lists of a selection of saved people to exactly list_ids (1-100 people lists): each selected record ends up in those lists and in no other. Select by ids (up to 25,000), or by filters (everything POST /v2/people/search matches, with the optional sort_by, sort_direction, limit, exclude_ids and extra_ids): exactly one of the two. Answers a job: 200 with the done job when the work ran inline, else 202 with the running job and Location: /v2/jobs/{id} (poll it after Retry-After). One bulk action runs per workspace at a time; an Idempotency-Key makes a retry answer the same job. Uses 1 unit of the jobs rate limit. Free: costs no credits.

Body parameters

    contacts-v2 person ids (1-25000). Exactly one of ids and filters.

    Child attributes

      Filter on the person themselves for People Search: by GetProspect person id, by name, or a lookup of specific profiles by LinkedIn URL.

      Child attributes
      • idobjectoptional

        Filter on GetProspect person ids for People Search: only these people, or reject them (up to 100 ids each).

        FieldTypeDescription
        includestring[]Only these people. Use the id values returned by People Search results, People Enrich, or Search Suggestions with type: "person". Max 100 ids.
        excludestring[]Reject these people (same id values). Max 100 ids.
      • nameobjectoptional

        Filter on the person's name for People Search: include or exclude names, each term matching when all its words appear in the name.

        FieldTypeDescription
        includestring[]Names to match. Every word of a term must appear somewhere in the name, in any order, so "Dmytro Shulha" matches "Dmytro Shulha, PhD" and "Helena Calero" matches "Helena Montoya-Calero".

      • linkedin_urlobjectoptional

        Lookup of specific people for People Search by LinkedIn profile URL (1-50); the other filters narrow the result.

        FieldTypeDescription
        includestring[]Look up specific profiles by LinkedIn URL. The URLs pick the people and every other filter narrows them - except company.name.include, which here only picks which position is returned as primary_position. Cannot be combined with person.id or person.name. Results keep the order of the URLs (sort_by does not apply) and each carries the matched_url it was found by. 1-50 urls.

        Example: ["https://linkedin.com/in/emily-carter-sample"]

      Example
      {
        "filters": {

      FieldTypeDescription
      includestring[]requiredPhrases to search for. 1-20 items, 3-100 chars each. Matched as phrases: a multi-word entry like "email finder" requires those words adjacent and in order within one of the selected source fields, not merely present somewhere in it.
      excludestring[]Phrases that disqualify a company. 0-20 items. Matched as phrases, same as include.
      include_allbooleanWhen true, every phrase in include must match; otherwise any single match qualifies. default: false.
      sourcesenum[]Restrict matching to these source fields (see Keyword sources). Omit to use the default source set - see this company_keywords filter's own description above for what that is.
      Example
      {

          "company_keywords": {
            "include": [
              "email marketing"

    • person_job_titleobjectoptional

      FieldTypeDescription
      includestring[]Job titles to match. Max 100 items, each 2-100 chars. Combined per match_mode. Known abbreviations also match their canonical spelling and vice versa (e.g. "CEO" matches "Chief Executive Officer"), however you spell them - "VP of Marketing", "VP, Marketing" and "Marketing VP" all match what "VP Marketing" matches. Under CONTAINS, terms match any of the roles a position carries - including the secondary roles of combined titles like "Founder & CEO" and the original title text.
      excludestring[]Job titles to reject. Max 100 items, each 2-100 chars.
      match_modeenumCONTAINS = the title contains every word of the term, in any order; connector words (of, and, the, ...) are ignored, so "Director of Sales Enablement" also matches "Director, Sales Enablement". EXACT = the person's LinkedIn title is exactly the term, so "founder" does not match "Founder & CEO", "Founder of Acme LLC" or "Fondateur" - use CONTAINS for those. Applies to include/exclude; ignored when boolean_search is set.

      Allowed values: CONTAINS EXACT

      boolean_searchstringBoolean / Cartesian title query, e.g. "(CEO OR CTO) AND !Intern". Syntax: bareword=contains; 'single quotes'=contains too, and the way to write a title with a space in it - 'vp marketing' matches exactly what include: ["vp marketing"] matches; "double quotes"=exact; backticks=words in order with connectors bridged, so vp marketing finds "VP of Marketing" but not "VP Sales and Marketing" or "Marketing VP"; !=exclude, AND/OR, ()=grouping. Max 500 terms, depth 5, each term 2-100 chars. AND and OR cannot be mixed at the same nesting level - use parentheses to group. Mutually exclusive with include/exclude. max length: 20000.
      Example
      {
        "filters": {
          "person_job_title": {

              "Product Marketing Manager",

      FieldTypeDescription

      excludeenum[]Departments to reject. A group rejects everyone in it; a sub-department rejects only that sub-department. See Departments.
      Example

        Filter on the person's company for People Search by GetProspect company id: include or exclude companies.

        FieldTypeDescription
        includestring[]Only people who work at one of these companies. Use the id values returned by Company Search or in People Search results.

        excludestring[]Reject people who work at any of these companies (same id values). Max 20000 ids.
      • domainobjectoptional

        excludestring[]Reject people whose company is on one of these domains.
        match_modeenumWhich company pages an include domain stands for. ORGANIZATION (default) = every company page that belongs to the organization owning the domain: its main page, its regional, brand and subsidiary pages. A small page that only links to the domain - a business hosted on a platform, a same-named company - is left out. PRIMARY = only the one main company page of the domain, leaving out the organization's other pages. LINKEDIN_WEBSITE = only the organization's pages whose own LinkedIn website is on the domain, so the domain is never inferred: "stripe.com", "stripe.com/jobs" and "jobs.stripe.com" all match "stripe.com"; a page that lists another site, or no website, does not. exclude is not affected: it always rejects every company on the domain.

        Allowed values: ORGANIZATION PRIMARY LINKEDIN_WEBSITE

        Example
        {
          "filters": {
            "company": {

        excludestring[]Company names to reject. With EXACT, a website-shaped value also rejects the company on that domain.
        match_modeenumEXACT (default) = the whole company name equals the term, case-insensitive. CONTAINS = the name contains the term as a substring ("Haven Health" matches "Haven Health Management") - resolved against the company index, so it is slower and capped; narrow the term if the request is rejected.

        Allowed values: EXACT CONTAINS

    • max_person_per_companyintegeroptionalmin: 1max: 100

      Cap the number of people returned per company across the whole result set (1-100). A person is counted against the company of the position that matched your company filters, or their current/primary position when no company filter is set. Of the colleagues competing for a company slot, one we hold a valid email for is kept, and your sort decides between them (and picks the representative outright when none of them has one). Results stay in your sort order either way. For result sets above 25000 matches the representative is simply whoever leads your sort, and total_count is a rounded PRE-cap estimate (pagination.total_is_estimate=true) - an upper bound, so an export of that selection returns fewer people. At or below it both are exact.

      Example
      {
        "filters": {
          "person_job_title": {
            "include": [
              "Product Marketing Manager"
