People search
GET
https://open-api.coinworldcap.com/openapi/v1/people
Search the people we hold from RootData by name. A person is found when they hold or held a role at a project — someone RootData no longer lists on any team is not.
Query parameters
qstringRequired. 2 to 64 characters once surrounding whitespace is trimmed. Matches any name that contains it, ignoring case.%and_match themselvespage,size,limit,offsetintegerDefaultsize20As on/assets
There is no sort: the order is the search's own. id, slug and sort are not parameters
here and are ignored.
Response
Item fields
| Field | Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|
id |
number | The person's id — what /people/info takes as id |
name |
string | |
avatar_url |
string | Empty string when there is none |
assets |
array | Every crypto asset the person holds or held a role at, each once, those with a current role first. [] when none of them is an asset we list |
assets[].id |
number | The asset id /assets takes |
assets[].slug, assets[].name |
string |
Order. Names equal to q first, then names that start with it, then the rest — each
ignoring case, and each group by id. So a search for a short name finds the person with
exactly that name on the first page.
Examples
bash
# Everyone whose name contains "vitalik"
curl -H "X-Api-Key: <your-api-key>" \
