description	Enrich any person by email, phone, LinkedIn URL, or name using the Nyne Enrichment API. Returns contact info, social profiles, work history, education, and optional social media posts. Supports lite mode (3 credits), newsfeed add-on, and AI-enhanced deep search. Async with polling.

Nyne Enrichment Skill

Enrich any person by email, phone, LinkedIn URL, or name. Returns contact info, social profiles, work history, education, and optional social media posts.

Important: This API is async. You POST to submit, get a request_id, then poll GET until complete.

Agent Instructions

When presenting results to the user, show all available data. Walk through each section:

1. Identity — displayname, bio, location, gender
2. Contact — emails (work + personal + alt), phones with type
3. Social Profiles — LinkedIn, Twitter, GitHub, Instagram with follower counts
4. Work History — all organizations with title, dates, current status
5. Education — schools with degree, field, dates
6. Newsfeed (if requested) — recent posts with engagement metrics

If a field is missing from the response, it means no data was found — skip it silently.

For lite mode responses, note that only 5 fields are returned (displayname, firstname, lastname, first organization, LinkedIn URL).

Setup

Required environment variables:

• NYNE_API_KEY — your Nyne API key
• NYNE_API_SECRET — your Nyne API secret

Get credentials at https://api.nyne.ai.

export NYNE_API_KEY="your-api-key"
export NYNE_API_SECRET="your-api-secret"

Verify they're set:

echo "Key: ${NYNE_API_KEY:0:8}... Secret: ${NYNE_API_SECRET:0:6}..."

Important: JSON Handling

The API response can contain control characters in JSON string values that break jq. All examples use a nyne_parse helper that cleans and re-encodes JSON via python3. Define it once per session:

nyne_parse() {
  python3 -c "
import sys, json, re
raw = sys.stdin.read()
clean = re.sub(r'[\x00-\x1f]+', ' ', raw)
data = json.loads(clean)
json.dump(data, sys.stdout)
"
}

Quick Start

Submit an enrichment request by email and poll until complete:

nyne_parse() {
  python3 -c "
import sys, json, re
raw = sys.stdin.read()
clean = re.sub(r'[\x00-\x1f]+', ' ', raw)
data = json.loads(clean)
json.dump(data, sys.stdout)
"
}

jq '.data.result | {displayname, bio, location, gender}' /tmp/nyne_enrich.json

# All emails
jq '.data.result | {best_work_email, best_personal_email, altemails}' /tmp/nyne_enrich.json

# Social profiles
jq '.data.result.social_profiles' /tmp/nyne_enrich.json

# Work history
jq '.data.result.organizations' /tmp/nyne_enrich.json

# Education

Modes & When to Use Each

Standard Enrichment (6 credits)

The default. Returns full contact info, social profiles, work history, and education. Use this for most lookups.

{"email": "[e-mail]"}

Lite Enrichment (3 credits)

lite_enrich: true — Performs a minimal enrichment workflow. Returns only 5 essential fields: displayname, firstname, lastname, first organization in the organizations array, and LinkedIn URL in social_profiles.linkedin.url. When enabled, all advanced features are disabled — ai_enhanced_search, newsfeed, and strict_email_check parameters are ignored (emails are not returned in lite mode). Use when you only need basic profile identification at reduced cost.

{"email": "[e-mail]", "lite_enrich": true}

AI-Enhanced Search (6 credits, longer processing)

ai_enhanced_search: true — Enables AI-powered deep search to discover additional social profiles and gather more comprehensive social data. Performs extensive searches and can take significantly longer to complete (up to several minutes). Only enable when comprehensive results are needed and extended processing time is acceptable. Use when standard enrichment returns sparse social profile data and you want broader coverage.

{"email": "[e-mail]", "ai_enhanced_search": true}

Newsfeed Add-on (+6 credits when data found)

newsfeed: [...] — Requests social media newsfeed data from specified sources. Valid sources: "linkedin", "twitter", "instagram", "github", "facebook", or "all". Cannot mix "all" with specific sources. Additional charges apply only when newsfeed data is actually found. Stacks on top of standard or AI-enhanced enrichment. Use when you need to see what someone is posting about or gauge their activity level.

{"email": "[e-mail]", "newsfeed": ["linkedin", "twitter"]}
{"email": "[e-mail]", "newsfeed": ["all"]}

Strict Email Check

strict_email_check: true — Enables strict email validation for the best email to use. May return nothing due to its strictness. Use when email accuracy is critical and you'd rather get no result than a questionable one.

{"email": "[e-mail]", "strict_email_check": true}

No Match (0 credits)

If the person cannot be found, you are not charged.
