What is an employee data API?
An employee data API allows you to search, retrieve, and enrich professional profile data instead of scraping and maintaining that pipeline yourself.
Coresignal's Employee Data API gives you access to structured and fresh professional profiles pulled from multiple public data sources. Query by role, skills, seniority, location, and company, then retrieve full profiles or just the fields your workflow needs.
The database refreshes in real time, and you will be working with current job titles and company affiliations rather than a stale snapshot from your last bulk export.
Easy to access multi-source data
Coresignal's employee data API merges information from top public web sources into a single profile. Skip building and maintaining your own collection, normalization, entity matching, and update infrastructure.
Semantic search
Search by meaning, not exact keywords. A query for "growth marketers at fintech startups" surfaces relevant people even when their titles use different phrasing, so you're not stuck guessing synonyms.
Entity recognition
Get one rich profile per person with a consistent schema. Records from different sources are resolved to the same individual and merged, rather than left as separate, conflicting entries.
Natural language search
Type a plain-English question and our agents will turn it into a structured query, returning matching employee profiles in seconds. No syntax to learn, no filters to configure by hand.
Webhooks
Profile timestamps and webhook change tracking keep candidate, talent, and professional databases current without redundant re-collection.
Consistent schema
Get structured, integration-ready data. Work with a consistent data schema that is easier to use across products, analytics, and internal workflows.
Real-time, fresh, and historical data
Use update timestamps, experience history, role changes, and change signals to support analysis and decision-making, and get 10+ years of historical records.
