Authentication

Send Authorization: Bearer gtk_…. Create the key under Connect assistant → API keys. A missing, invalid or revoked key is 401. A valid key while this API is not enabled for your organization answers 403 api_not_enabled, with what the key can do instead. Every response includes mySDR-Api-Version, mySDR-Request-Id and Cache-Control: no-store, and a response to an accepted key also X-RateLimit-* (so not a 401, a 405, an OPTIONS or a 404 for an unknown path).

Body parameters

• signal object · required — Required. type is linkedin_engagement (needs company.linkedin_url), own_engagement (needs your own company.linkedin_url, people or both), social_listening (needs query), funding_raised (needs countries), new_in_role (needs titles and locations), events (needs event.name; event_posts is the old name) or tech_adoption (needs technologies). Every field of each type is on its page under Signals, for example Funding rounds, and in GET /signals/{signal_type}.
• mode string — Optional, and only raw: every search returns the rows of the source, with no AI judging them. Leave it out. One of: raw.
• exclude_companies object[] — Up to 20 LinkedIn company pages whose rows are never delivered. Tech adoption uses signal.exclude_domains instead.
• limit integer — How many rows. Capped at max_rows of the type in GET /signals; defaults to its default_limit.
• cursor string | null — result.next_cursor of an earlier search with the same signal: this search continues where that one stopped, without the rows it already delivered. One chain delivers at most 500 rows, kept 30 days.
• webhook_endpoint_id string | null — A webhook endpoint id (whe_…) that receives this search’s events.
• metadata object — Up to 10 string values. Keys 1–40 characters, values up to 200.
• max_credits integer | null — Stop before the next row would pass this. Below one row the call is 402 max_credits_exceeded and nothing runs.

Response

• object string · required — Always cost_preview. One of: cost_preview.
• endpoint string · required — Which call this previews. One of: searches, leads, person.enrich, monitors.
• row_key string · required — The row type that sets the headline price.
• credits_per_row integer · required — Credits for one row of row_key.
• max_rows integer · required — The most rows this call can return.
• max_credits integer · required — The most the call can spend. A max_credits you sent caps it.
• period string · required — call for one request, day for a monitor. One of: call, day.
• rows object[] · required — Every row type the call can deliver: row_key, credits_per_row, max_rows.
• notes string[] · required — Plain-language limits of this preview.

Credits

Free.

Errors

• 400 invalid_request — The body would also be rejected by POST /searches.
• 401 authentication_error — The Authorization header is missing, or the key is unknown or revoked.
• 403 permission_error — API access is not part of your plan, or your account is suspended.
• 403 api_not_enabled — The key is valid, but the Signals API or the Company API is not enabled for your organization yet. The error says what this key can do.
• 429 rate_limit_error — More than 60 requests per minute, or more than 3 at the same time, on one key. Wait for the Retry-After header.
• 500 internal_error — Something went wrong on our side.
