Apollo search URL parser, validator and splitter

Paste any Apollo.io people or company search URL. The tool decodes every filter, flags the problems that break exports, cleans the link, and splits searches larger than 2,500 results into one URL per headcount band. It runs in your browser and uploads nothing.

What the tool checks

  • Search type. People versus company search, and whether the link is a saved contacts or accounts view that cannot be replayed.
  • Filters. Every parameter decoded and labelled: titles, locations, headcount bands, industries, keywords, email status, seniority, departments, technologies.
  • Page. Links copied from page 3 start exports at page 3 in some tools; the cleaned URL removes the page parameter.
  • Email status. Warns when no email-status filter is set, because adding “Verified” raises the usable-email share of an export.
  • Size. Reminds you that one search is capped at 2,500 reachable rows and offers the split.

Why the split is by headcount

Company headcount is the one Apollo filter with fixed, non-overlapping bands that between them cover every company, so splitting on it never drops or duplicates a person. Eleven bands turn a 2,500-row cap into a 27,500-row ceiling per search, and the exports can be appended into one list with de-duplication by Apollo contact ID. Location works as a second split for the biggest searches. The caps themselves are explained in the export limits guide.

Use it from code

The parser is published on GitHub as a dependency-free TypeScript module; the API page shows the import. It is the same code that runs here.

Questions people ask

Why do scrapers reject my Apollo URL?

Usually because the link is a saved list view (contacts or accounts) rather than a database search, because it was copied before the filters applied, or because it uses the newer Filters 2.0 format some tools never updated for. The parser tells you which.

What is the 2,500-row limit?

Apollo renders at most 100 pages of 25 results per search. Anything beyond that is unreachable from that URL, so the fix is to split the search into narrower ones, which is what the splitter does.

Does the tool send my URL anywhere?

No. It is a small script that runs on this page. The only time a URL leaves your browser is when you choose to export it in the Apollo Exporter app.

Is the parser open source?

Yes. The same module is published on GitHub under MIT and used by the Apollo Exporter API to validate links.
