## Error Handling
- **400** - Invalid parameter values. Check accepted values lists above (especially seniority and industry).
- **404** - Person/company not found. Try different identifiers or broader search.
- **429** - Rate limited. People Search: 60/min, Email Verify: 150/min, Others: 1000/min.
## Tips
- Use `/v1/people/count` first (free) to estimate results before committing to paid calls
- Personal emails have higher match rates than work emails for email enrichment
- For batch operations, v1 batch supports up to 30 profiles synchronously
- People enrich works best with a LinkedIn URL as the primary identifierRelated Skills
