Tips

• amount: -1 in response means exact count unavailable; iterate pages until empty
• Leads endpoint is live — each request queries LinkedIn in real-time (may take 5-15s)
• Email finder uses AI permutations + validation; valid results are safe to send
• Combine lead search → email generation for full prospecting pipeline
• Rate limits apply per API key tier
