Resolve a search

Chooses the event when a search is requires_action. A name is never guessed: even one candidate waits for this call, or for a new search that sends signal.event.event_id. The choice expires after 24 hours (status expired). The call answers 202 and the search continues.

Authentication

Send Authorization: Bearer gtk_…. Create the key under API Access → API Keys. A missing, invalid or revoked key is 401, including while this API is closed. A valid key while the API is closed for your organization answers 404, the same body as an unknown path. Every response includes FounderMCP-Api-Version and FounderMCP-Request-Id.

Path parameters

• search_id string · required — The search that is waiting.

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

• event_id string · required — One event_id from required_action.candidates (evt_…).

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, requires_action, succeeded, failed, cancelled, expired.
• mode string · required — raw or screened. One of: raw, screened.
• signal_type string · required — The signal you asked for. One of: linkedin_engagement, social_listening, funding_raised, new_in_role, events, tech_adoption.
• progress object | null — stage and message while it runs.
• result object | null — Set when status is succeeded. Screened: exact, just_outside, total_estimate, max_leads_applied. Raw: rows, has_more, next_cursor.
• credits object · required — charged, reserved (worst case while open, 0 when finished) and max_credits.
• required_action object | null — Set on requires_action: type choose_event, candidates (up to 5) and expires_at (24 hours).
• error object | null — Set when status is failed: type, message, retryable.
• request object · required — The body as validated, with defaults filled in.

Credits

The choice itself is free. Leads delivered after it are charged at the screened prices: 20 exact, 5 just outside. 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.
• 404 not_found — The endpoint does not exist.
• 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.
• 422 unresolvable_input — A company, person or event in the request does not exist or cannot be found.
