# Start an Account Intelligence report (scope write:intelligence)

`POST /api/v1/intelligence/accounts`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.signalraven.ai`
- URL: `https://api.signalraven.ai/api/v1/intelligence/accounts`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

Explicit refresh (2026-10-06): if a report for this company exists it is returned with cached: true (200) however old it is, and nothing is spent, until refresh: true is sent. A refresh is honoured once the newest report is 7 days old; before that the same report is returned with refreshAvailableAt. A new run (202) spends credits and requires an active workspace (403 workspace_inactive otherwise).

## Request body

- V1RunAccountBody
  - `companyUrl` string, required: A LinkedIn company URL.
  - `refresh` boolean: Ask for a new report. Without it the newest ready report is returned (cached: true) however old it is. A refresh is honoured only once that report is 7 days old; before that the same report is returned with refreshAvailableAt. A refresh spends credits like a first run.

## Response `200`

Existing report returned (nothing spent)

- V1RunResponse
  - `data` V1RunOutcome, required
    - `id` string, required
    - `slug` string, required
    - `status` 'queued' | 'running' | 'ready' | 'failed', required
    - `cached` boolean, required: true when an existing report was returned and nothing was spent (cached reports are returned until you ask for a refresh; a refresh is possible once the report is 7 days old); false when a run was enqueued (202).
    - `refreshAvailableAt` string, date-time: Present on a cached response while the report is younger than 7 days: the ISO time from which a refresh request will start a new run (readyAt + 7 days).
  - `_meta` V1Meta, required
    - `mode` 'live' | 'sample', required
    - `notice` string
    - `cta` object
      - `text` string, required
      - `url` string, required

## Other responses

- `400`: Missing or invalid companyUrl
- `403`: Insufficient scope or inactive workspace
