Basics

  • By default, search endpoints for Profiles and Companies return 100 items per page.
  • The amount can be controlled via the limit parameter.
  • The maximum is 1000 items.

Pagination

When the number of items in the search results exceeds the page limit, a pagination_token is returned. This token allows iterating through multiple pages of search results. The pagination token supports Point in Time (PIT) functionality. PIT takes a “snapshot” of the data at a specific moment, creating a fixed view of the index and preventing changes from affecting your search results when iterating across pages. PIT expires 5 minutes after the search query. Control PIT with the stable_pagination parameter. When false, the search results don’t use PIT — you may encounter the same items on subsequent pages, but response times are faster. Use "stable_pagination": true only for queries where you expect many results and need to iterate through all of them (for example, pulling all profiles with a certain job title or all employees of a large company). For targeted queries, use "stable_pagination": false. You can also increase limit (max 1000) to avoid pagination altogether.
