Agents

Create a web monitor agent

Creates a Website monitor agent (web-monitor). Runs a natural-language web search every searchPeriod (default daily) over up to numResults pages and delivers matching people or companies (entityType); each delivered result costs 50 credits and maxCreditSpend bounds a run. 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.
422 AGENT_SIGNAL_REJECTED — web-monitor only: the search provider refused the prompt as a searchable signal. Rewrite the prompt rather than retrying it.
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 results list it creates. Must be unique across your agents: a name already in use is rejected with 409 LIST_NAME_TAKEN.

Minimum string length: 1

entityType

enum<string>

required

What the monitor should find: 'person' for people, 'company' for companies.

Available options:

person,

company

prompt

string

required

Plain-language description of the signal to watch for on the open web (e.g. 'companies fined by a regulator over late supplier payments'). Including the year — 'in 2026' — materially improves recency.

Required string length: 1 - 2000

start

boolean

default:false

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

searchPeriod

enum<string>

How often the search re-runs — use one of exactly: 1h, 6h, 1d, 7d. Defaults to 1d.

Available options:

1h,

6h,

1d,

7d

numResults

integer

Web pages to read per run (1-100, defaults to 10). This caps PAGES, not results — one page can yield several matches.

Required range: 1 <= x <= 100

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

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.
