Agents

Create a companies watcher agent

Creates a Companies watcher (from a list) agent (companies-watcher). Watches the COMPANIES of an existing list (exactly one of listId/listIds) for the chosen eventType; job-posting watchers require at least one keywords entry and accept jobPostingLocationTypes (remote/on_site/hybrid). With start: false (the default) a DRAFT is saved — status initializing, nothing billed: read it back with GET /business/agents/, adjust it with PATCH /business/agents/, then start it with POST /business/agents//activate. With start: true the agent is created AND started in one call: its dedicated results list is created, credits are checked and spent, and the provider subscriptions are set up. Either way the answer is 201 { agent: { id, type, name, status, started } } — the same shape for every agent kind, draft or started. Poll GET /business/agents for status and contactsFound, and read the delivered rows with the Lists endpoints via the agent’s listId. Free-plan accounts hold at most 10 agents, drafts included (403 AGENT_LIMIT_REACHED). Every field below is validated by the agents service: a rejected field answers 422 VALIDATION_FAILED, naming it in param and describing every failure in message. listName must not collide with an existing list or agent name (409 LIST_NAME_TAKEN), and starting without enough credits answers 402 INSUFFICIENT_CREDITS without creating anything.

Errors:

422 VALIDATION_FAILED — The request was rejected by validation. Either this endpoint’s own request validation (a malformed body), or the agent config itself: a field missing, out of range or not one of the accepted values, or a business rule broken (an expirationDate that is not in the future, more industries than the kind accepts, a notification count out of range). param names the first offending field and message lists every failure.
409 LIST_NAME_TAKEN — listName is already used by one of your lists or agents. Pick another name.
402 INSUFFICIENT_CREDITS — The workspace does not have enough credits to start this agent. Nothing was created or spent.
403 AGENT_LIMIT_REACHED — Free-plan accounts may hold at most 10 agents, drafts included. Delete an agent or upgrade the plan.
404 LIST_NOT_FOUND — A source list named in listId / listIds does not exist or does not belong to the token owner.
422 AGENT_SOURCE_LIST_EMPTY — The source list holds nothing this agent kind can watch — no LinkedIn URLs, no companies, or no trackable contacts. Fill the list first.
400 INVALID_REQUEST — The agents service rejected the request for a reason this API does not model specifically. The request is not retryable unchanged.
429 RATE_LIMITED — The agents bucket is exhausted: 30 requests per minute or 2,000 per day per token owner, shared by every /business/agents operation (a 429 raised by the agents service is relayed with this code too). Retry after the Retry-After header.
500 UNEXPECTED_ERROR — The agents service failed (5xx, refused service credential, or a timeout after 60s) or the rate limiter was unavailable. Retry later; quote request_id to support.

Requires one of the following token scopes: agents.

Authorizations

Authorization

string

header

required

Your API token (af_…) as the Basic-auth username, with an empty password.

Body

application/json

listName

string

required

Name for BOTH the agent and the NEW dedicated results list this watcher creates. Must be unique — never reuse a source list's name; name it after the agent the user is creating.

Minimum string length: 1

eventType

enum<string>

required

Which change to watch on the companies in the source list(s).

Available options:

company-watch-linkedin-job-postings,

company-watch-linkedin-posts,

company-watch-press-mentions,

company-watch-funding-milestones

start

boolean

default:false

true creates AND activates the agent (spends credits); false (default) saves a draft to activate later.

listId

string

The existing SOURCE list(s) to watch, by id — the people/companies whose changes are tracked.

Minimum string length: 1

listIds

string[]

The existing SOURCE list(s) to watch, by id: the companies whose changes are tracked. Each id is a list id from GET /business/lists. Every list you name is watched, their members are unioned and duplicate ids are collapsed, and there is no cap on how many lists; listIds and listId are mutually exclusive (sending both is rejected). A source list holding no companies is rejected when the agent starts (422 AGENT_SOURCE_LIST_EMPTY).

Minimum array length: 1

Minimum string length: 1

expirationDate

string | null

Date the agent stops running, as YYYY-MM-DD (for example "2026-12-31"), and in the future. Pass null to run until you pause or delete it; omit it for the default of one month from creation.

keywords

string[]

Free text, matched as a keyword against the job POSTING TITLE upstream, never against the description (for example ["account executive", "sdr"]). At least one is required when eventType is company-watch-linkedin-job-postings, and the value is ignored entirely by the other event types. Every value must be distinct and non-empty: a repeated keyword is refused with 422 ("keywords must not contain duplicates") and so is an empty string. Values are passed to the provider as written, so near-duplicates that differ only by surrounding spaces are accepted and both kept. No cap on how many you send.

Minimum array length: 1

jobPostingLocationTypes

enum<string>[]

Work arrangement of the job posting. Use one of exactly: remote, on_site, hybrid. Multiple values are OR-joined (a posting with any listed arrangement matches); there are only three values, so listing all three is the same as omitting the field, which matches any arrangement. Read only when eventType is company-watch-linkedin-job-postings.

Minimum array length: 1

Available options:

remote,

on_site,

hybrid

frequency

integer

default:1

How often the watcher checks its source list(s), in days (1-90, default 1). This is also its billing cadence.

Required range: 1 <= x <= 90

maxContacts

integer

Cap on the total number of results this agent delivers into its list. Omit for no cap.

maxCreditSpend

integer

Maximum credits this agent may spend in a single run or refresh (1000 to 200000); delivery-driven monitors stop once their total delivered results reach it. Omit for no limit.

Required range: 1000 <= x <= 200000
