For example, fetching **1000 results** will consume **1000 credits** (*not include 25 credits at the **step 1***). 💡 *For better understanding and demo code, please follow [this tutorial](https://fdocs.info/tutorial/howto-search-companies)* ## OpenAPI ````yaml POST /search-companies openapi: 3.0.1 info: title: OpenAPI Plant Store description: >- A sample API that uses a plant store as an example to demonstrate features in the OpenAPI specification license: name: MIT version: 1.0.0 servers: - url: https://web-scraping-api2.p.rapidapi.com security: - ApiKeyAuth: [] paths: /search-companies: post: requestBody: required: true content: application/json: schema: type: object properties: annual_revenue: type: object properties: min: type: number enum: - 0 - 0.5 - 1 - 2.5 - 5 - 10 - 20 - 50 - 100 - 500 - 1000 example: 1 max: type: number enum: - 0.5 - 1 - 2.5 - 5 - 10 - 20 - 50 - 100 - 500 - 1000 example: 10 currency: type: string enum: - USD - AED - AUD - BRL - CAD - CNY - DKK - EUR - GBP - HKD - IDR - ILS - INR - JPY - NOK - NZD - RUB - SEK - SGD - THB - TRY - TWD example: CAD company_headcounts: type: array items: type: string enum: - 1-10 - 11-50 - 51-200 - 201-500 - 501-1000 - 1001-5000 - 5001-10000 - 10001+ example: - 1001-5000 - 5001-10000 company_headcount_growth: type: object properties: min: type: integer example: -10 max: type: integer example: 10 department_headcount: type: object properties: min: type: integer nullable: true example: 0 max: type: integer nullable: true example: 10 department: type: string enum: - Accounting - Administrative - Arts and Design - Business Development - Community and Social Services - Consulting - Education - Engineering - Entrepreneurship - Finance - Healthcare Services - Human Resources - Information Technology - Legal - Marketing - Media and Communication - Military and Protective Services - Operations - Product Management - Program and Project Management - Purchasing - Quality Assurance - Real Estate - Research - Sales - Support example: Accounting department_headcount_growth: type: object properties: min: type: integer nullable: true example: 0 max: type: integer nullable: true example: 10 department: type: string enum: - Accounting - Administrative - Arts and Design - Business Development - Community and Social Services - Consulting - Education - Engineering - Entrepreneurship - Finance - Healthcare Services - Human Resources - Information Technology - Legal - Marketing - Media and Communication - Military and Protective Services - Operations - Product Management - Program and Project Management - Purchasing - Quality Assurance - Real Estate - Research - Sales - Support example: Accounting headquarters_location: type: array items: type: integer example: - 103644278 description: >- Learn how to [find a geo_code](https://fdocs.info/tutorial/howto-geocode) headquarters_location_exclude: type: array items: type: integer example: - 103644278 description: >- To exclude some locations.
