search.posts
Search posts with structured filters.
Prerequisites
- A Curviate API key, passed as
apiKeywhen you construct the client. Authentication and accounts shows how to create one. - A connected LinkedIn account. This resource is account-scoped: the
account_idis injected automatically by the account-scoped accessor, so you pass it once tocurviate.account(...)and every call below inherits it. Authentication and accounts covers connecting one, and accounts.list returns theaccount_idof each account already connected.

Error codes
| Code | What it means, and what to do |
|---|---|
UNAUTHORIZED | The API key is missing, malformed, or revoked. Check the key you passed to the client. |
INVALID_REQUEST | A parameter failed validation. The message names the offending field; fix the request rather than retrying it. |
RATE_LIMIT_ACCOUNT | This account's own quota is exhausted. Wait for the window in the Retry-After header, then retry. |
RATE_LIMIT_TENANT | The tenant-wide quota is exhausted across all accounts. Slow the whole workload, not just this call. |
PLATFORM_RATE_LIMIT | LinkedIn is throttling this account. Back off well beyond the hinted delay; sustained pressure risks the account. |
PLATFORM_ERROR | A transient upstream failure. Retry once with backoff before treating it as a real error. |
ACCOUNT_NOT_FOUND | No connected account with that id belongs to this tenant. List your accounts to get a current id. |
ACCOUNT_RESTRICTED | LinkedIn has restricted the account, so it cannot act until that is cleared. Retrying will not help. |
FILTER_CANDIDATES_REQUIRED | A filter value matched several LinkedIn taxonomy options, so it cannot resolve without a choice. Re-send with a candidate id from the body's unresolved[]; this is not retryable as sent. |
RESOURCE_NOT_FOUND | The id in the path does not exist, or is not visible to this account. Re-read it from the list endpoint that produced it. |
Every code above is a stable CurviateError.code you can branch on. The full list, the response envelope, and retry semantics are in the Error codes reference.
