API Reference

Start lead search

Finds people by criteria — job title, location, company, industry, headcount, seniority, keywords — with no target person known in advance. Creates a background run that delivers up to count directory-style results (name, title, company, location, profile URL — never contact data) and returns immediately with the run handle and your post-reservation balance; poll GET /api/v1/lead-search/runs/{runId} for status and results. Set continueFromRunId to continue a finished run (“load more” or retry) — already-delivered leads are never re-delivered or re-billed. One active run per workspace at a time. Feed a result’s linkedinUrl into POST /api/v1/find (linkedin mode) to get a verified email. Rate limited per workspace. Breaking change from the earlier synchronous contract: the old one-batch page request/response is gone.

Billing

per delivered lead, debited once when the run finalizes — an empty run is free, and a continuation run never re-bills previously delivered leads; unitCost × count is reserved up front and the unused remainder is released at finalize.

The current cost is shown in the app under Settings → Billing and in the live GET /api/v1/openapi.json. Calls that end in a system or provider error (HTTP 500) or are rate limited (HTTP 429) are not billed. The charged and pointsCharged fields of the response state what this call actually consumed.

Authorizations

Authorization

string

header

required

Workspace API key (loice_sk_ + 48 hex characters), created under Settings → API Keys. Sent as Authorization: Bearer loice_sk_…. Invalid, missing, or expired keys are rejected with 401 before any billable work happens.

Body

application/json

filters

object

At least one non-empty filter is required — unless continueFromRunId is set, in which case filters may be omitted (the continuation inherits the prior run’s criteria; submitted filters must match them).

Show child attributes

count

integer

How many leads to deliver (default 25, maximum 10000). Billing is per lead actually delivered, never per lead requested. On a continuation this means additional leads beyond the prior run.

Required range: 1 <= x <= 10000

continueFromRunId

string

Id of a finished run to continue ("load more" / retry after a partial failure). The new run inherits its criteria, resumes where it stopped, and never re-delivers or re-bills leads the prior run or any run it continued already delivered. Only the newest run of a search can be continued: a run that already has a continuation answers 409 run_already_continued.

page

integer

Fetch exactly this one source page and stop there — the on-demand fetch behind as-if-local pagination. On a continuation it replaces resuming sequentially; on a new search it picks the page. The run delivers what that page holds (at most count) and is billed only for those; leads the chain already delivered are never re-billed. Without page, a run reads pages in order until it has count leads.

Required range: 1 <= x <= 100

Response

Run created (poll GET /api/v1/lead-search/runs/{runId}), or refused uncharged with reason: "insufficient-credits" when the balance cannot cover the worst case — inspect run and reason.
