Parameters

Supply at least one profile identifier: url, publicIdentifier or profileId. Set main=true. Do not add findEmail. Use only the declared query parameters, once each, without a request body. Results are provider-native: inspect element/elements and body status/error; HTTP 200 alone does not prove a hit. Empty results can still be charged. Basic, full and email are separate tools. Do not combine main and findEmail. Email availability and quality are provider-reported; no email is guaranteed.
