HeroHunt People Search vs The Muse
HeroHunt People Search
HeroHunt's People Search API lets a caller describe an ideal candidate in natural language and returns matching, enrichable profiles sourced from LinkedIn, GitHub, and Stack Overflow, the same engine behind its dashboard, SDKs, and hosted MCP server. Every call authenticates with an x-api-key header; a free trial grants 50 search credits before paid Starter/Pro plans.
The Muse
The Muse's public API returns its job listings and company profiles — culture content, photos, and open roles per employer — the same data powering its own site and widgets. Anyone can call it for light testing; registering a free app key raises the rate limit and is required for production use.
