# Best cached LinkedIn people search API in 2026

> We benchmarked 3 cached LinkedIn people search API providers. We list all three, ranked by score. For each one, we show its top scoring plan, each part of the plan's score and what 1,000 people cost.

The Data score on Cached LinkedIn people search: Out of 100: the share of requested people the call returned who match the search on their own LinkedIn profile, with a current job at the company under the title searched. We asked for 10 people per search. A provider called on fewer searches is set against how the others did on those same searches, so an easier few don't lift it. A provider we called more than once on the same search is scored on all those calls, so no one run decides it. Each provider here answers from a copy it keeps.
