- URL: `https://beta.getsales.io/signals/v1/api/profile-view-sightings/{sid}`

One sighting: the viewer's words, the sighting clocks, how often they looked and, with include person, the person the team holds. Private context: never repeated to the lead.

Contract:
- MCP tool `get_profile_view_sighting`, registry package `mcp.signals/profile_view_sightings`, mount `signals.visits`.
- Operation `get`, response envelope `get`.
- Flags: read only.

## Path parameters

- `sid` string, required: The sg_pv_* sid of the row to read.

## Query parameters

- `include[]` string[]: Relations to attach to the row; omit for the bare row.

## Response `200`

`get` success envelope.

    - `sender_profile_sid` string, required: The sender profile whose "Who viewed your profile" list the viewer was on (ub_sp_..., external: unibox). The same person on two sender profiles is two rows: the view is the sender profile's.
    - `viewer_key` string, required: The one key of the viewer per sender profile: the member id (digits) for a named viewer, nick:<slug> when the list named them by the public slug alone, anon:<hash> for an anonymous row or a named row with no identifier. Never a URL.
    - `is_anonymous` boolean, required: LinkedIn printed a descriptor instead of a name ("Someone at Acme"), or no identifier at all: counted, never resolved, never told to the product.
    - `ln_member_id` string, nullable, required: The canonical member id (the member URN or the profile URN decoded); null for an anonymous or slug-only viewer.
    - `ln_nickname` string, nullable, required: The public profile slug the list carried, lowercased; null when none.

    - `display_name` string, nullable, required: The list's words at the last sighting (the descriptor for an anonymous row); null when none.
    - `headline` string, nullable, required: The viewer's headline as the list printed it; null when none.
    - `image_url` string, nullable, required: The avatar the list carried (not a profile URL); null when none.
    - `viewed_at_text` string, nullable, required: The relative text LinkedIn printed last ("2 days ago"): the list carries no date; null when none.
    - `times_seen` integer, required: The first sighting and every re-view since (a listing that moved the viewer up).
    - `last_position` integer, required: The row's absolute rank on the list at the last sighting: the collector's stop rule.
    - `first_seen_at` string, required: ISO 8601 UTC, when the collector first saw the viewer on this sender profile: the "since" the product can honestly say.
    - `previous_seen_at` string, nullable, required: ISO 8601 UTC, the sighting before the last; null on a viewer seen once.
    - `last_seen_at` string, required: ISO 8601 UTC, the last sighting: the default sort and the week's window.
    - `last_fact_at` string, nullable, required: ISO 8601 UTC, the last sighting the ledger and the thread were told about (or that needed no telling); null while the first sighting of a known person is owed, always null for an anonymous or unknown viewer.
    - `created_at` string, required: ISO 8601 UTC.
    - `updated_at` string, required: ISO 8601 UTC.
  - `included` object, required
    - `person` object: The team's person the viewer resolved to: { sid } today (cr_pp_...), the compact card is owed. Absent for an anonymous viewer or one the team does not hold.
      - `sid` string, required
  - `includes` string[], required
  - `meta` object, required
    - `trace_id` string, required: UUID v7; same 128-bit value as the X-Trace-Id header.

    - `timestamp` string, required: ISO 8601 UTC (Y-m-dTH:i:sZ), response time.
    - `duration_ms` integer, required: Server-side wall clock.
    - `team_sid` string, nullable: The team this call ran in (the token team, or the team_sid override). Null when unauthenticated; absent from pre-2026-08-20 backends.
    - `actor_type` string, nullable: user | agent | api_key | system. Null when unauthenticated; absent from pre-2026-08-20 backends.
