# List the leads of a search

Leads of a succeeded **screened** search, exact matches first. A raw search has rows instead: this call answers `400`. Read those with GET /searches/{search_id}/results.

## 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** — A screened search id.

### Query parameters

- **`match`** `string` — Which leads. Defaults to `all`. One of: `exact`, `just_outside`, `all`.
- **`limit`** `integer` — How many rows to return, from 1 to 100. Defaults to 25.
- **`cursor`** `string` — The `next_cursor` of the previous page, sent back unchanged.

## Response

- **`object`** `string` · **required** — Always `list`.
- **`data`** `object[]` · **required** — Leads. Same shape as GET /leads/{lead_id}.
- **`next_cursor`** `string | null` — The next page, or null.

## Credits

Free. The search already charged the leads.

## Errors

- **400** `invalid_request` — This search is raw. Read GET /searches/{search_id}/results.
- **409** `search_not_ready` — The search has not succeeded. The error includes its status.
- **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.
- **500** `internal_error` — Something went wrong on our side.
