updated_at timestamp showing its last refresh. When you need the current version, the live endpoints retrieve it from the web at the moment you call them.
Two ways to get data
Live endpoints return the same profile fields as the indexed database. They take a different request format and fewer filters, so use the indexed database for searches with many conditions.
Update cadence by dataset
Checking a record’s age
Read the timestamp in the table above before you act on a record. On a job posting,date_added is the day the listing was posted and date_updated is the day Crustdata last refreshed it. If a record is older than your workflow allows, call the live endpoint for that one record.
Job-change signals
People Search can filter onrecently_changed_jobs. The flag marks people whose previous role ended within 90 days of the last index rebuild. To find people who started a new role in a specific window, filter experience.employment_details.current.start_date on a date range.
When you need the latest version
API versions and changes
Every request carries anx-api-version header, currently 2025-11-01. Pin it so your integration stays on the version you tested. New fields, endpoints and fixes are listed in the Changelog.
