    Description, as the server wrote it
    Pause, resume, or cancel a People Search task. Free. pause: a queued search pauses at once; a running one finishes its current batch first (status pausing, then paused). A search paused for more than 7 days is cancelled. resume: continues a paused search where it stopped, with no new charge. cancel: stops the search for good; you pay only for the people it already delivered and the rest of the reservation is returned. People found so far stay readable for 30 days.

    Status, progress, and cost of one People Search task, plus a page of the people found so far: name, handle, url, platform, audience, location, fit score, why they matched, contacts, and links. Free. People arrive while the search runs: pass the returned next_cursor as cursor on the next call to get only the people found since then. When done is true and has_more is false you have everyone the search found. An ended task has completion_reason (why it stopped), coverage_limited: true when a budget stopped it before count (more people may match), and warnings such as partial_enrichment (some profiles could not be read, so those people were scored on the search hit; they show enrichment: failed). Each person has fully_verified (every criterion confirmed by their own profile or posts) and unverified_criteria (criteria that are unknown or not met, or a disqualifier that applies). These are information only: the person still qualified.
