There are two identifiers you can use to fetch a profile from The Swarm database:
  • Profile IDs (ids) previously received from Search endpoint
  • LinkedIn usernames (linkedinNames)
Using both will return a union of both lists after deduplication. 
curl \
--location 'https://bee.theswarm.com/v2/profiles/fetch' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--header 'x-api-key: $API_KEY' \
--data \
`{
  "ids": [
    "569a18b6-6a04-4728-9034-ad6ae0537f09",
    "41dfd52f-e9da-4381-80a2-b514cf75c134"
  ],
  "linkedinNames": [
    "michal-bil"
  ]
}`
By default the Fetch endpoint returns the connectors or team members connected to a given profile. If there is no team members connected to a profile the connections object is an empty array. In the example below, the first profile is connected to one of the team members; the second one has no connectors.
