People search, LinkedIn enrichment, and contact lookup for lead generation via pay-per-call MPP.
What it does
Clado Search is one endpoint within the broader Clado suite, exposed through the Locus MPP (Micropayment Protocol) gateway. It lets you search for people by query string with optional filters for companies and schools, returning paginated results. The search endpoint supports pagination via offset/limit parameters and a search_id for continuing prior searches. Results are priced at $0.01 per result, settled via Tempo (pathUSD on Tempo L2).
The broader Clado service available at the same gateway includes several related endpoints: deep research (async job-based people research with status polling, cancellation, and expansion), contact enrichment (single and bulk, with email and phone enrichment options at $0.04–$0.14 per contact), LinkedIn profile scraping ($0.023/call), LinkedIn profile lookup ($0.013/call), and post-reaction extraction ($0.013/call). All endpoints use the MPP charge intent with Tempo settlement.
The search endpoint specifically accepts a POST with a JSON body containing a query string, optional limit (default 30, max 100), offset, search_id for pagination, and optional company/school filters. Advanced filtering is enabled by default. Note that the probe returned 404 on HEAD/GET — the endpoint is POST-only, which is consistent with the OpenAPI spec.

Quality
Full OpenAPI schema with clear request parameters and pricing metadata for all endpoints. However, no response schema is documented, no example responses are available, the probe returned 404 (expected since endpoint is POST-only), and crawled pages yielded no additional documentation. Pricing is clearly stated in x-payment-info descriptions.
