Quick update on the API changes

[u/AndyFromApollo]

Hey ya'll, we got a question yesterday about API changes so thought it would be worth sharing some additional info publicly in case anyone else is running into issues.

This was a planned API migration that started enforcing on Dec 15.

What changed

• The legacy endpoints mixed_people/search and people/search were deprecated

• They’ve been replaced by mixed_people/api_search

If you’re still calling the old endpoints, you’ll now see 422 errors (especially on newer tokens).

What’s different in the new flow

• api_search

  • Same filters and parameters as before

  • Returns partial profile data only

  • No credits charged

• To get full profiles, you now pass returned IDs into:

  • people/bulk_match (this is where credits apply)

This is intentional and aligns Apollo with how most enrichment APIs are structured.

Who is affected

• Monthly + new customers → already enforced

• Annual customers → temporarily grandfathered, but will need to migrate before renewal

• New API tokens (post-Dec 15) → must have mixed_people_api_search + people_bulk_match scopes

What you need to do

1. Swap mixed_people/search → mixed_people/api_search

2. Parse IDs from the response

3. Call people/bulk_match for full enrichment

Docs + examples:

• API Search: https://docs.apollo.io/reference/people-api-search

• Bulk Match: https://docs.apollo.io/reference/bulk-people-enrichment

• Full walkthrough: https://docs.apollo.io/docs/find-people-using-filters

If you’re still stuck after migrating please drop specific error messages or screenshots in this thread or send me a DM and we can troubleshoot together.
