--- title: "Create a linkedin profile agent" method: POST path: "/business/agents/linkedin-profile" tags: ["Agents"] --- # Create a linkedin profile agent `POST /business/agents/linkedin-profile` ## Request - Base URL: `https://api.tryfuse.ai/api/v1` - URL: `https://api.tryfuse.ai/api/v1/business/agents/linkedin-profile` - Auth: HTTP basic Creates a LinkedIn profile scrape agent (`linkedin-profile`). Scrapes the engagers (`fieldsToScrape`: likes/comments) of up to `maxPosts` recent posts from 1-50 profiles (exactly one of `profileUrl`/`profileUrls`), optionally on a recurring schedule. A started scrape answers with the agent's own `id`, like every other kind; its internal scrape job id never leaves the service. With `start: false` (the default) a DRAFT is saved — status `initializing`, nothing billed: read it back with GET /business/agents/{agentId}, adjust it with PATCH /business/agents/{agentId}, then start it with POST /business/agents/{agentId}/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. - `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. ## Request body - object - `start` boolean: true creates AND activates the agent (spends credits); false (default) saves a draft to activate later. - `profileUrl` string: One LinkedIn profile URL (https://www.linkedin.com/in/...). Provide exactly one of profileUrl or profileUrls. - `profileUrls` string[]: Up to 50 unique LinkedIn profile URLs (https://www.linkedin.com/in/...). Provide exactly one of profileUrl or profileUrls. - `fieldsToScrape` string[], required: Which engagement to collect: "likes" (reactors), "comments" (commenters), or both. At least one is required. - `maxPosts` integer: How many of the profile's most recent posts to collect engagement from (1-100, default 5). - `includeReposts` boolean: Include the profile's reposts and quote posts. Off by default: engagement on a repost belongs to the original author's audience. - `postedLimit` '24h' | 'week' | 'month' | '3months' | 'year': Only collect engagement from posts published within this window. - `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. - `enableRecurring` boolean: Keep the scrape running on a recurring schedule instead of a single one-shot run. - `recurringExpiresAt` string: ISO 8601 date-time at which a recurring scrape stops; must be in the future. Omit to keep it running until you stop it. - `enrichPhone` boolean: Also enrich every delivered contact with a phone number. Costs additional credits per contact enriched. - `enrichEmail` boolean: Also enrich every delivered contact with a work email address. Costs additional credits per contact enriched. - `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. ## Response `201` Success - object - `agent` object, required - `id` string, required: The new agent's id — pass it as `{agentId}` to every other agent operation. - `type` 'linkedin-profile', required: The agent kind that was created — always this endpoint's own slug. - `name` string, required: The agent's name, echoed from `listName`; also the name of the results list it delivers into. - `status` 'initializing' | 'processing' | 'active', required: `initializing` when `start` was false (a draft). When `start` was true, the agent's real status right after starting: `processing` while the provider setup and first run are under way, `active` once it is running. - `started` boolean, required: Echoes the `start` you sent: false = a draft that still has to be activated; true = already running and already billing. ## Other responses - `400`: Error - `401`: Error - `402`: Error - `403`: Error - `404`: Error - `409`: Error - `422`: Error - `429`: Error - `500`: Error --- [API](https://skmtc.dev/fuseai/apis/fuse-business-api.md) · [All operations](https://skmtc.dev/fuseai/apis/fuse-business-api/llms.txt) · [OpenAPI document](https://skmtc.dev/fuseai/apis/fuse-business-api/revisions/50d95e0536f4?raw)
