Feature Requests

Would like to see timestamps added for skills data. Adding timestamps would allow us to track the evolution or change of skills present on a person record.

Using nested queries can help uncover which individuals are a particular job role at a company during a particular time range.

LinkedIn recently introduced a new feature called the "Verification Badge." This feature verifies an individual's email address associated with their current company, granting their profile a verification badge. If PDL could capture this data it would help customers identify individuals more accurately.

I would like to have an inferred net worth feature similar to what some competitors offer. This would help us better assess the financial standing of individuals beyond just their inferred salary.

Allow tracking updates for all employees at a company

I would like a real-time API that can provide up-to-date information on LinkedIn profiles. This is important because the current data is not always accurate or up-to-date, which is a problem for us.

API to fetch counts of results for a boolean query. Similar to https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/search-count.html . Currently, we are setting page_size parameter to 1 and getting the count of results and further narrowing down/ filtering with more boolean queries. This way multiple stages of credit consumption and filtering costs can be reduced.

When I'm using the batch enrich, I want to be able to carry through fields in the resulting enrichment that are in my input file. This helps with easier tracking of the data.

Please develop a way for PDL to not send Profiles they've already sent that have been imported already in the target system. Users complain that PDL returns the same Profiles again and again on the same searches via the API. Example: a user in the target system searches and brings back 15 Profiles from PDL. They import all 15 Profiles. User does same search again in future weeks. 20 Profiles come over from PDL via the API. Users see the same 15 Profiles in the return and have to go from Page 1 to Page 3 to find the 5 newer Profiles. This is not a good user experience. Just don't send the 15 if they are exactly the same.
