Send the API key in the X-API-KEY header. Most paths include {account_id}. Read FORAGER_API_KEY and FORAGER_ACCOUNT_ID from the environment; never put the key in client-side code, logs or prompts. > To add Forager to a project, follow https://www.forager.ai/docs/guides/agent-quickstart.md. To pick an endpoint, read https://www.forager.ai/docs/guides/choose-an-endpoint.md. For end-to-end builds, see https://www.forager.ai/docs/recipes/overview.md. > Most requests spend credits. Do not guess costs; use https://www.forager.ai/docs/api-overview/credit-pricing.md and ask the user before spending credits. > Use only endpoints and fields defined in https://www.forager.ai/docs/openapi.yaml. Forager has no MCP server for the API yet; the /mcp endpoint on this site searches the documentation only. # Person skills lookup > Look up person skills to get the IDs used as search filters. ## When to use this endpoint You need the numeric ID of a skill to use in the `person_skills` filter of the people search, for example when sourcing candidates. ## Example request ```bash cURL theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark"}} curl -G "https://api-v2.forager.ai/api/$FORAGER_ACCOUNT_ID/datastorage/autocomplete/person_skills/" \ -H "X-API-KEY: $FORAGER_API_KEY" \ --data-urlencode "q=SQL" ``` Set `FORAGER_API_KEY` and `FORAGER_ACCOUNT_ID` as in the [quickstart](https://www.forager.ai/docs/api-overview/send-your-first-request.md). ## Example response ```json 200 (illustrative values) theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark"}} { "results": [ { "id": "1207", "text": "SQL" } ], "pagination": { "more": false } } ``` ## Credits This endpoint is free: it does not use credits. See [API credits and pricing](https://www.forager.ai/docs/api-overview/credit-pricing.md). ## OpenAPI ````yaml GET /api/{account_id}/datastorage/autocomplete/person_skills/ openapi: 3.0.3 info: title: Forager public API version: 1.0.0 description: Forager public API endpoints documentation servers: - url: https://api-v2.forager.ai security: [] tags: - name: Job Posts description: >- Search the Forager job-post index. Use these endpoints to find job postings by attributes such as title, location, posted date, or hiring organization, and to retrieve aggregate totals for a given query before paginating through full results. - name: Organizations description: >- Search the Forager organization index. Filter companies by attributes such as industry, headcount, location, keywords, and web technologies, and retrieve total match counts alongside the result set. - name: People description: >- Look up people and their records. Use the search endpoints to find people by role, employer, location, or skills, and the detail-lookup endpoints to fetch a full person record by ID, email, or phone number. Contact data has its own sections: Phones, Personal Emails, and Work Emails. - name: Phones description: >- Retrieve phone numbers for a known person. Provide identifying information (such as a LinkedIn handle or Forager ID) and get back the available phone numbers. - name: Personal Emails description: >- Retrieve personal email addresses for a known person. Returns addresses on free webmail / consumer providers (Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo, iCloud, Proton, and similar); corporate, educational, and other custom domains are excluded to keep deliverability high. - name: Work Emails description: >- Find and verify a person's work email address. Submit a lookup (single or bulk), poll the job for its result, and optionally receive the result by webhook when the job completes. - name: Websites description: >- Look up information about a website, including the organization that owns it and the technologies detected on the domain. - name: Users description: >- Manage your Forager account. Retrieve the current authenticated user, create and revoke API keys used to authenticate requests to the rest of the API, and review the credit balance-change log that records every lookup charge or adjustment against your account. - name: Autocomplete description: >- Resolve free-text input into the canonical IDs used elsewhere in the API. Each endpoint returns matching options for a search term (industries, organizations, organization keywords, locations, person skills, web technologies) so they can be passed as filters to the search endpoints. - name: Feedback description: >- Report verification feedback for contact data (phone numbers, personal emails, work emails) returned by Forager person lookups. Use these endpoints to submit whether a contact value is valid/invalid and whether it belongs to the matched person — every submission is stored as a new row and is used to improve the accuracy of future lookups. paths: /api/{account_id}/datastorage/autocomplete/person_skills/: get: tags: - Autocomplete summary: Person skills lookup description: Person skills objects lookup. operationId: v1_person_skill_lookup parameters: - name: account_id in: path required: true description: Account ID.
