Nyne Search Skill

Search for people using natural language queries. Find professionals by role, company, location, industry, or any combination. Returns matching profiles with contact info, work history, education, and optional AI relevance scoring.

Important: This API is async. You POST to submit, get a request_id, then poll GET until status: "completed". Light searches complete in 3-40 seconds; premium searches take 30-300 seconds.

Agent Instructions

When presenting search results to the user, show all returned data for each person. Walk through:

Result count — total_stored, total_estimate, has_more, credits_charged
Each person — displayname, headline, bio, location, gender, estimated_age, total_experience_years, is_decision_maker
Contact info — best_business_email, best_personal_email, altemails, fullphone (if show_emails/show_phone_numbers were enabled)
Social profiles — LinkedIn URL, username, connections, followers
Work history — all organizations with title, dates, company details (industries, num_employees, funding, technologies)
Education — schools with degree, major, dates; note is_top_universities flag
Interests — work interests and certifications
Patents — title, date, reference, URL (if present)
Languages — spoken languages
Score — AI relevance score 0-1 (if profile_scoring was enabled)
Insights — AI-generated match reasoning (if insights were enabled)

If has_more is true, tell the user there are more results available and offer to paginate using the next_cursor.

If a field is missing from the response, it means no data was found — skip it silently.

Setup

Required environment variables:

NYNE_API_KEY — your Nyne API key
NYNE_API_SECRET — your Nyne API secret

Get credentials at https://api.nyne.ai.

bash

export NYNE_API_KEY="your-api-key"
export NYNE_API_SECRET="your-api-secret"

Verify they're set:

bash

echo "Key: ${NYNE_API_KEY:0:8}... Secret: ${NYNE_API_SECRET:0:6}..."

Important: JSON Handling

The API response can contain control characters in JSON string values that break jq. All examples use a nyne_parse helper that cleans and re-encodes JSON via python3. Define it once per session:

bash

nyne_parse() {
  python3 -c "
import sys, json, re
raw = sys.stdin.read()
clean = re.sub(r'[\x00-\x1f]+', ' ', raw)
data = json.loads(clean)
json.dump(data, sys.stdout)
"
}

Quick Start

Search for people by natural language query and poll until complete:

bash

nyne_parse() {
  python3 -c "
import sys, json, re
raw = sys.stdin.read()
clean = re.sub(r'[\x00-\x1f]+', ' ', raw)
data = json.loads(clean)
json.dump(data, sys.stdout)
"
}

Note: The POST may return status: "completed" immediately (especially for cached or light searches) or status: "processing" requiring polling. Always check the status.

Poll for Results (GET)

Endpoint: GET https://api.nyne.ai/person/search?request_id={id}

Headers: Same X-API-Key and X-API-Secret as above.

Check status once

bash

curl -s "https://api.nyne.ai/person/search?request_id=$REQUEST_ID" \
  -H "X-API-Key: $NYNE_API_KEY" \
  -H "X-API-Secret: $NYNE_API_SECRET" | nyne_parse > /tmp/nyne_search.json

jq '{status: .data.status, total_stored: .data.total_stored}' /tmp/nyne_search.json

Full polling loop

bash

SECONDS_WAITED=0
TIMEOUT=600  # 10 minutes

while [ $SECONDS_WAITED -lt $TIMEOUT ]; do
  curl -s "https://api.nyne.ai/person/search?request_id=$REQUEST_ID" \
    -H "X-API-Key: $NYNE_API_KEY" \

      jq '.data.results[] | {displayname, headline, location}' /tmp/nyne_search.json
      break
      ;;
    failed)
      echo "Search failed:"
      jq '.data' /tmp/nyne_search.json
      break
      ;;
    *)
      sleep 5
      SECONDS_WAITED=$((SECONDS_WAITED + 5))
      ;;
  esac
done

if [ "$STATUS" != "completed" ] && [ "$STATUS" != "failed" ]; then
  echo "Timed out. Resume polling with request_id: $REQUEST_ID"
fi

Pagination

After the initial search completes, paginate through results for free (cached results, no additional credits).

Cursor-based pagination (recommended)

Use the next_cursor from the previous response:

bash

curl -s -X POST "https://api.nyne.ai/person/search" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-API-Key: $NYNE_API_KEY" \
  -H "X-API-Secret: $NYNE_API_SECRET" \
  -d '{"cursor": "eyJvIjoxMCwiciI6ImFiYzEyMzQ1XzE3MzcxMjM0NTZfMTIzNCJ9"}' | nyne_parse > /tmp/nyne_search.json

jq '.data | {total_stored, offset, limit, has_more}' /tmp/nyne_search.json
jq '.data.results[] | {displayname, headline, location}' /tmp/nyne_search.json

Offset-based pagination

Use request_id + offset from the original search:

bash

curl -s -X POST "https://api.nyne.ai/person/search" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-API-Key: $NYNE_API_KEY" \
  -H "X-API-Secret: $NYNE_API_SECRET" \
  -d '{"request_id": "abc12345_1737123456_1234", "offset": 25, "limit": 25}' | nyne_parse > /tmp/nyne_search.json

jq '.data | {total_stored, offset, limit, has_more}' /tmp/nyne_search.json
jq '.data.results[] | {displayname, headline, location}' /tmp/nyne_search.json

Pagination notes:

Paginating through cached results is free — no additional credits charged
Maximum 1000 results per search (offset + limit ≤ 1000)
has_more indicates whether more results are available
next_cursor is only present when has_more is true
Results are cached for 30 days

Search Tiers & When to Use Each

Fast Search — `type: "light"` (1 credit per result)

Basic search with fast results in 3-40 seconds. Best for quick lookups when you need a broad list of names and don't need deep profile data. AI features (insights, high_freshness) are NOT available for light type. Profile scoring is available.

json

{"query": "Software engineers at Google", "type": "light", "limit": 50}

Smart Search — `type: "medium"`

Balanced tier between speed and quality. Use when you want better matching than light but don't need the full depth of premium. Supports all AI features.

json

{"query": "Engineering managers in fintech", "type": "medium", "limit": 25}

Pro Search — `type: "premium"` (5 credits per result)

Comprehensive search taking 30-300 seconds. Best quality results with deepest profile matching. Required for maximum-quality insights and high_freshness results. Use when result quality matters more than speed.

json

{"query": "AI researchers at top universities", "type": "premium", "limit": 10, "insights": true, "profile_scoring": true}

AI-Powered Analysis Features

These features add intelligence on top of search results. Insights and High Freshness are NOT available for light type searches — use medium or premium.

Query Insights (`insights: true`, +1 credit per result)

AI-generated analysis for each result explaining why this person matches your search query. Returns structured reasoning about the match relevance — how their background, role, and experience align with what you're looking for. Invaluable for qualifying leads or evaluating candidates at scale. Use when you need to understand the "why" behind each match, not just the "who".

json

{"query": "AI researchers in healthcare", "type": "premium", "insights": true, "limit": 10}

Profile Scoring (`profile_scoring: true`, +1 credit)

AI relevance scoring that assigns each result a score from 0 to 1, where 1.0 is a perfect match. Use to rank and prioritize results by relevance. Works with all search tiers including light. Combine with insights for both a score and an explanation.

json

{"query": "Senior engineers at fintech startups", "profile_scoring": true, "limit": 25}

High Freshness (`high_freshness: true`, +2 credits)

Prioritizes profiles that have been recently updated — people who recently changed jobs, updated their LinkedIn, or have fresh activity. Use when recency matters: hiring recently active candidates, targeting people who just moved to a new role, or finding profiles with current contact info. Not available for light type.

json

{"query": "Product managers who recently changed jobs", "type": "premium", "high_freshness": true, "show_emails": true}

Combining AI Features

Stack insights + scoring + freshness for maximum intelligence:

json

{
  "query": "VP of Engineering at Series B startups in San Francisco",
  "type": "premium",
  "insights": true,
  "profile_scoring": true,
  "high_freshness": true,
  "show_emails": true,
  "limit": 10
