When to use this endpoint

You submitted a single work email lookup and want its result. Poll until status is completed or failed; polling is free and a Retry-After header says when to poll again while the job is still running.

Example request

cURL

curl "https://api-v2.forager.ai/api/v2/$FORAGER_ACCOUNT_ID/datastorage/person_contacts_lookup/work_emails/$JOB_ID/" \
  -H "X-API-KEY: $FORAGER_API_KEY"

Set JOB_ID to the job_id from the submit response, and FORAGER_API_KEY and FORAGER_ACCOUNT_ID as in the quickstart.

Example response

200 (illustrative values)

{
  "job_id": "2b7e1a40-3c5d-4f6e-8a9b-0c1d2e3f4a5b",
  "status": "completed",
  "emails": [
    "jane.doe@acme.com"
  ],
  "error_code": null,
  "person_id": 48213,
  "submitted_lookup": {
    "first_name": "Jane",
    "last_name": "Doe",
    "domain": "acme.com",
    "linkedin_public_identifier": ""
  },
  "date_created": "2026-10-20T08:15:00Z",
  "date_completed": "2026-10-20T08:16:04Z",
  "result": "found"
}

A completed job has result set to found or not_found; a failed job has an error_code.

Response

The envelope every lookup result is returned in, single or bulk.

Narrower than the model: the vendor, the verification count and the miss reason are recorded but never returned, since they expose how the waterfall is built and would make swapping a provider a breaking change.

status is how far a lookup got; result is what it concluded, and is null on a row that never ran.

emails is not a column on the job - it comes from the PersonWorkEmail rows sharing its lookup_key, read from a map in the serializer context so a batch costs one cross-database query rather than one per row. Each entry carries its own validation_status, since a person's addresses can be verified separately.

no_current_employer - The person has no current employer on record
input_unresolved - Submitted input could not be resolved

read-only

submitted_lookup

object

required

read-only

Echo the row exactly as it was sent.

Nested rather than four top-level fields, so "what you sent" is never confused with "what we searched", and so the top level keeps its rule that an absent value is null - here a blank string is the honest echo.

Spelled out key by key rather than dumped from the stored model, so a new column on SubmittedFields becomes a deliberate addition here instead of appearing in the response unasked.
