## README

### LinkedIn Post Search API

Search public LinkedIn posts by keyword (text, link, publish date). Results come from search-engine matches over public LinkedIn posts and work best with English keywords.

#### 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-posts", "query": "hiring", "datePosted": "last-week"}'
```

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 | The post search query. |
| `cursor` | string | No | Pagination cursor from a previous response. |
| `datePosted` | string | No | Filter by recency. One of last-hour, last-day, last-week, last-month, last-year. One of: `last-hour`, `last-day`, `last-week`, `last-month`, `last-year`. |
| `requireCursor` | boolean | No | Deprecated. Every source for this search returns a nextCursor, so this changes nothing about the price or which source serves you; it stays accepted so callers that already send it keep working. |

#### Pricing

Billed at the actual cost of each call, usually $0.0012 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.
