## README

### LinkedIn Group Search API

Search LinkedIn groups by keyword, 10 per page: group name, URL, member count, summary, and logo.

#### Request

```bash
curl -X POST "https://api.sandbase.ai/v1/run" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $SANDBASE_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"model": "linkedin/search-groups", "query": "python"}'
```

The result is returned in `outputs[0].data`. A lookup that finds nothing still succeeds and returns `found: false`.

#### Parameters

| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `query` | string | Yes | Keyword to search LinkedIn groups for (e.g. python or sales). |
| `page` | integer | No | Which page of up to 10 groups to return, starting at 1 (1-100, default 1). Each page is billed as one request. |

#### Pricing

Billed at the actual cost of each call, usually $0.0013 per request. A call can cost more when the first data source fails and another one answers. Failed calls are not charged. Lookups that find nothing and searches with no results are billed at their actual cost, which is often lower and can be $0.
