The API only returns what the account shows publicly. Private accounts return their profile but no posts.

What the API won’t do

• No face matching. Accounts are matched on text: names, bios, links and work history. Profile photos are never compared.
• No sensitive traits. Scores and summaries never infer or mention ethnicity, religion, health, sexual orientation or political views, even when posts hint at them.
• Contact lookup is off by default. Set contact: true to include emails and phone numbers from a separate, paid lookup.

Acceptable use

Use the API to research public professional and social presence, for example to understand a prospect, a candidate or a partner. Don’t use it to:

• track, harass, intimidate or surveil anyone;
• make decisions about employment, credit, housing or insurance;
• build profiles of children;
• get around a platform’s own privacy controls.

You’re responsible for having a lawful basis to process the data you request, and for following the laws that apply to you and the people you look up.
