Start a search

A search returns the rows of the source and charges per row: a funding company is 1 credit, a technology company is 3, a person from engagement, listening, an event or a new role is 1. No AI judges a row. For the LinkedIn signals a row is a person as LinkedIn shows them next to a post (name, headline, what they did, the post), and you decide who fits: see Recipes. A search that delivers nothing is free. To follow a signal over time, run the search again, for example every week; for keywords there are monitors.

An unknown technology is 400 with code unknown_technology and suggestions. An event is never looked up: send its exact name with the year, its hashtags or its organizer page.

mode may still be sent as raw; screened mode and watches were removed. "mode": "screened", buyer_profile, max_leads, just_outside, signal.about and signal.drop_intents are 400 invalid_request, with param naming the field.

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).

Query parameters

• wait integer — Seconds to wait before answering, 0 to 25. Defaults to 0, which answers 202 at once.

Headers

• Idempotency-Key string · required — Required on this call. The same key and the same body replay the first response for 24 hours (Idempotent-Replayed: true). The same key with a different body is 409 idempotency_conflict.

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

• id string · required — Search id, srch_….
• object string · required — Always search. One of: search.
• status string · required — Where the search is. One of: queued, running, succeeded, failed, cancelled.
• signal_type string · required — The signal you asked for. One of: linkedin_engagement, own_engagement, social_listening, funding_raised, new_in_role, events, tech_adoption.
• created_at string · required — When the search was created (ISO 8601).
• completed_at string | null — When it finished.
• expires_at string | null — Until when the search and its rows stay readable (30 days after it finished).
• progress object | null — stage and message while it runs.
• funnel object | null — What the search read on the way, such as the posts and the people seen on them.
• result object | null — Set when status is succeeded: rows, has_more, next_cursor, total_estimate and truncated_by (max_credits or daily_limit when a cap left rows out).
• credits object · required — charged, reserved (worst case while open, 0 when finished) and max_credits.
• sources string[] · required — Where the rows come from: funding_data, job_postings, linkedin or web.
• error object | null — Set when status is failed: type, message, retryable.
• request object · required — The body as validated, with defaults filled in.
• notes string[] · required — What was left out and what was not checked, in plain language.

Credits

Charged per delivered row, at the price in GET /signals. A funding company is 1 credit. A technology company is 3. A person is 1. Nothing delivered, a failure and a cancel are free. Errors and empty lookups are free. A call that spent credits puts that number in credits_used, in X-Credits-Used and in X-Credits-Charged. When the wallet can be read, the response also sends X-Credits-Remaining.

Errors

• 400 invalid_request — The body is not valid JSON, a field is unknown or has the wrong type, or a value is not allowed.
• 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.
• 429 daily_limit_reached — The request could take your organization over its daily credit limit. The limit resets at midnight (Europe/Brussels).
• 402 insufficient_credits — The credit balance is lower than this request could cost. Nothing was charged. Add credits, or send a smaller request. The error includes code, fix and a link to the credits docs.
• 502 upstream_error — The data source did not answer. Retry later.
• 503 service_unavailable — The API is temporarily unavailable. Retry later.
• 500 internal_error — Something went wrong on our side.
• 402 max_credits_exceeded — max_credits is lower than the credits of the first row, so nothing could be returned. Nothing was charged; raise max_credits or ask for fewer rows.
• 409 idempotency_conflict — The Idempotency-Key was already used with another request body.
• 409 idempotency_in_progress — The first request with this Idempotency-Key is still being processed. Wait for the Retry-After header.
