Sales Navigator Searches

Perform Sales Navigator searches for people based on target criteria — location, job title, industry, and other parameters. This simplifies building outreach lists, finding contacts at target companies, and identifying mutual connections for warm introductions.

You can perform searches in 3 ways: copy the search URL directly from your browser or pass parameters through the Salesflow API (Search by Parameteres or Saved Search).

Search from copy/past Sales Navigator URL

How it works:

1. Go to Sales Navigator and create or open a search for leads

2. Copy the URL from your browser (it will look like https://www.linkedin.com/sales/search/people?query=...)

3. Pass that URL to this endpoint Post /api/v1/sales-nav/search/url

4. Get back a list of matching profiles

Navigating large result sets:
If your search returns many results, you can page through them:

• Use start and count parameters to control which results you see

• When requesting next page include the sessionId from the previous response so the results stay consistent

Get Leads from a Saved Search

Retrieve all the leads from one of your saved Sales Navigator searches without needing to copy the full URL — just use the saved search ID.

When to use this:

• You have a saved search in Sales Navigator that you use regularly (e.g., "Tech leads in SF")

• You want to pull the latest results from that search

• You need to automate lead list exports for your outreach sequences

How it works:

1. Find the ID of your saved search (savedSearchId — you can get this from Get /api/v1/sales-nav/search/parameters/saved-searches)

2. Pass it to this endpoint Get /api/v1/sales-nav/search/saved-search

3. Get back all matching profiles

Navigating large result sets:
If your saved search has many leads, page through them:

• Use start and count to control which results you see (e.g., first 25, then next 25)

• When requesting next page include the sessionId from the previous response so the results stay consistent

  

Search Leads by Parametres

Build a custom Sales Navigator search using specific filters (location, job title, company, industry, etc.) without needing a URL or saved search.

When to use this:

• You want to build your own search inside your app

• You want to search by specific criteria but don't have a pre-built URL or saved search

How it works:

1. Build your own search

2. Use filters , there 3 options

   Keywords (ex.firstName = “John“)
   Predefined value/s (ex. companyHeadCountCopy SelfEmployed = 0, One Ten = 1)
   TypeHeads (ex. Title = 101) to find the id iof exact typehead use this endpoint /api/v1/sales-nav/search/parameters/facet-typeahead

3. Define your search filters in the request

4. Pass the parameters to edpoint Post /api/v1/sales-nav/search/parameters

Available filters:
To see what filters and values you can use, check the facet typeahead endpoint for available options.

Navigating large result sets:

• Use start and count to page through results

• When requesting next page include the sessionId from the previous response so the results stay consistent
