Live · cached, queued and throttled

Professional profiles,
as a clean API.

Give Sourcely a profile URL and get structured JSON back — name, headline, about, location, experience, education, skills and certifications.

Cached by default

Repeat lookups return in milliseconds and never touch upstream. Raw payloads are kept so a parser fix can be replayed without re-fetching.

Queued and throttled

One request in flight per source account, with jittered spacing between them. Retries are classified, so a missing profile is never retried like an outage.

Live progress

Long fetches stream their state over server-sent events, with polling available for clients that cannot hold a connection open.

How it works

01

Normalise

Any spelling of a profile URL collapses to one canonical id.
02

Serve or queue

A cache hit answers immediately; a miss becomes a job.
03

Fetch

A worker leases an account, respects its cooldown, and fetches.
04

Parse

Entities are resolved into a flat, validated schema.
