Lookup

Overview

Search and Enrich only accept ZoomInfo's own filter values. Ask for "VPs in the Northeast" and something has to turn that into the exact codes the API recognizes. Lookup does that translation. It returns the accepted options for a given filter field, so your searches match on the first try instead of coming back empty.

What You'll Get

A list of every accepted value for the field you asked about, each with its ID and display name.

Fields you can look up include:

• Industries
• Job functions
• Management levels
• Metro regions
• Technologies

Best For

• Confirming which industries, regions, or titles ZoomInfo recognizes
• Building a search that filters on precise criteria
• Debugging a search that returned nothing

To run the search itself, use Search Companies or Search Contacts.

How It Works

Lookup reads ZoomInfo's filter reference, the same set of values that powers search across the platform.

ZoomInfo Data

• Industry classifications
• Geographic and metro regions
• Job functions and management levels
• Technology categories

Technical Details

Credits

Free. Lookup consumes no credits, so you can call it as often as you need. See Credits & Billing.

Parameters

Automatic Tool Selection

The AI calls Lookup on its own when a request names a filter it has to resolve first. Ask for contacts in a specific industry and it will fetch the industry values before running the search. You never need to name the tool.

Architecture

Values come from a reference maintained alongside ZoomInfo's search index. As new industries and technologies are added, Lookup returns them without any change on your side.

Example Prompts
