• Retrieve your API key from the People Data Labs developer console.
• In TexAu, go to Settings > Integrations, find People Data Labs, and paste your API key.

Actions

Enrich Person by LinkedIn URL (People Data Labs)

Returns a comprehensive professional profile for a contact using their LinkedIn URL.

Credit cost: 30 credits per row (charged only on successful matches)

Input:

• LinkedIn URL (required): full LinkedIn profile URL

Output:

• Person ID
• Full Name
• Current Job Title
• Current Company
• LinkedIn URL
• Work Email
• All Emails (array)
• Phone Numbers (array)
• Location
• Skills (array)
• Experience History (array)
• Education History (array)
• Social Profiles (array)
• Match Score: likelihood that this is the correct person

Typical use case: Deep enrichment for priority prospects where you need the most complete profile possible, including verified work email, phone numbers, and full contact history.

Enrich Person by Name and Company (People Data Labs)

Returns the same set of profile data using a person's full name and company name instead of a LinkedIn URL.

Credit cost: 30 credits per row (charged only on successful matches)

Input:

• Full Name (required)
• Company Name (required)

Output: Same as above: Person ID, Full Name, Current Job Title, Work Email, Phone Numbers, Location, Match Score, and full history arrays.

Typical use case: When you have contact names and companies but no LinkedIn URLs. Use this as an alternative enrichment path.

When to use People Data Labs vs other enrichers

People Data Labs is best for:

• High-priority accounts where data completeness matters
• Contacts where other providers have failed
• Research workflows where you need full employment history

At 30 credits per row, People Data Labs is more expensive than most email finders. Use it selectively: either as a primary enricher for your top accounts, or as a last step in a Waterfall for contacts other providers could not find.

The Match Score output tells you how confident the system is in the result. A score below 5 means the match is uncertain. Filter out low-confidence rows before using the data.

Common workflow pattern

Enrich high-value accounts with full profile data

1. Create a table with LinkedIn URLs for your target contacts.
2. Add an Action Column for Enrich Person by LinkedIn URL (People Data Labs).
3. Map the LinkedIn URL column to the LinkedIn URL input.
4. Select outputs you need: Work Email, Phone Numbers, Current Job Title, Match Score.
5. Add a filter step or formula column: IF(match_score < 5, "low confidence", "use data").
6. Use the Work Email output to populate downstream outreach columns.

Troubleshooting

Match Score is low even though the LinkedIn URL looks correct. A low Match Score means People Data Labs had difficulty confirming the identity. This can happen with LinkedIn URLs that have been recently changed, profiles with limited public data, or unusual name formats. Verify the URL is current and publicly accessible.

Work Email is empty but other fields are populated. Work Email is sourced from verified sightings in People Data Labs' data. Not every profile has a confirmed work email. Use the All Emails array: it may contain alternative email addresses that were observed.

30 credits per row depletes my balance quickly. People Data Labs is charged at 30 credits per successful match. Run a test batch of 10-20 rows to check your hit rate before running a large list. For lower-budget enrichment, consider BetterEnrich, FullEnrich, or Apollo as alternatives.

No results returned for a contact. People Data Labs may not have indexed the profile. This is more common for people with very limited LinkedIn activity or non-English language profiles. Try Enrich Person by Name and Company (People Data Labs) as an alternative if you have the company name.
