}List persons
OpenAPI JSON Spec
The person registry that /other/podcast/transcripts links speakers
to. person_id is the value a transcript’s resolved_speakers carries;
treat it as opaque and do not parse it — use created_by_pipeline to
tell curated people from ones speaker resolution created. name
searches aliases too.
socials lists every known account and is always present ([] when
none). Several accounts on one platform are allowed, and within a
platform the first entry is the one to show. platform is an OPEN
enum — ignore values you do not recognize. url is always set;
handle and id may be absent (LinkedIn and Substack publish no
stable id).
shows lists confirmed show relationships, hosting or as a
guest — role says which, and the same show can appear under both.
platform is an OPEN enum, podcast today. Only confirmed: true
relationships are returned; inferred, unconfirmed roles are omitted.
first_seen_url is where the person was first seen, not a list of all
their sources.
positions is every job the person is known to hold. There is no
primary one: a person holds several at once and each lane sees a
different one. Each entry splits the title (position) from the
institution (affiliation), and the affiliation filter matches the
latter. Party, chamber and district are not here — use
/v1/alva/congress-politicians; sources containing congress is
what says someone is a member.
Every filter is optional.
