# Create LinkedIn auto-scrape

> Save a scraping source as a collector and start it. Give the source EXACTLY one way: a bare url (people and company searches only) or the pair source_method plus source_input. Anything else is 422.

Use for the standing ask, "keep pulling everyone behind this link". To wire outreach, author the plan FIRST on the mass-actions mount (preview_mass_action, then create_mass_action with scope kind none) and pass its ma_ac_ sid here: every new lead is appended to that run as one item. Omit mass_action_sid to collect only, omit replay_frequency for a one-shot.

Run 1 dispatches AT ONCE: real LinkedIn automation starts, and a linked run begins enrolling. Watch it with search_linkedin_auto_scrape_runs, read the leads with search_linkedin_auto_scrape_results. Rejections are all pre-flight 422: invalid_url, invalid_source_method, method_not_available, source_input_incomplete, account_not_in_team, sales_nav_required (sales-nav sources and company-decision-makers need Sales Navigator), mass_action_incompatible.

Contract:
- MCP tool `create_linkedin_auto_scrape`, registry package `mcp.linkedin/linkedin_auto_scrapes`, mount `linkedin.auto-scrapes`.
- Operation `create`, response envelope `create`.
- Flags: dangerous: the MCP layer gates it behind a preview/commit token, and the effect cannot be undone through this API.

openapi: 3.0.3
info:
  title: 'GTM API public contract: gtm.service.linkedin'
  description: >-
    Connected LinkedIn accounts and everything driven through them: account
    health and smart limits, conversations and messages, the connection graph,
    outbound posting, scraping, profile and company enrichment, and the
    antidetect browsers that execute it all.


    GENERATED. This document is projected from the Zod MCP tool registry in
    `product/mcp/gtm.mcp` (one tool per public endpoint, 1:1). Do not edit it by
    hand; edit the tool definition and regenerate with `pnpm openapi:public`.


    Surface: the public `/api` contract of `gtm.service.linkedin`, 150
    operations. Internal (`/internal`) and health endpoints are deliberately
    absent; the code-faithful spec that documents those lives in
    `product/openapi/gtm.openapi.tech`.


    Conventions:

    - Auth is a bearer JWT, optionally narrowed by the `Team-SID` header.

    - Every success body is an MCP envelope: `success: true` plus one typed
    `operation` shape (`search`, `get`, `create`, `update`, `delete`, `metrics`,
    `group_by`, `action`), and a `meta` block with `trace_id` for support.

    - Every failure is the same `McpError` envelope with a code from a fixed
    16-code taxonomy, so a client maps errors once.

    - Lists page with `page_size` (0 to 500, default 50) plus an opaque forward
    `cursor`; `page_size: 0` returns counts only.

    - On `GET` and `DELETE`, object-valued query parameters (`filter`, `sort`)
    travel as JSON text and array-valued ones repeat as `name[]=value`.

    - The MCP-only `_meta` field (usage analytics) never reaches the backend and
    is not part of this contract.
