Social Signals

Receive key social platform signals associated with an individual to flag suspicious activities or validate identities.

Social Signals enables you to retrieve a list of all known social profiles of a given contact, returning data for each social platform such as any applicable usernames/handles, the URL of the platform, any bio that the user supplied, and more. Additionally, any profile pictures and URLs to other websites associated with the contact will be returned. These insights will be returned within the profiles, photos, and urls keys.
