# North Data Person Search

Search people by name. Each hit has a working person page path and the companies the person is linked to. It reads the same list as the search endpoint, so a page can hold fewer than 15 people and the free depth is 45 hits. Pass the uri to the person endpoint. Birth data is not available. To remove a person from the data, write to support@scrappa.co. Scrappa reads public data of the free North Data site. It is not the official North Data API.
