# Start Account Research

> Start account research on a target company and get a shareable report link immediately

Start account research on a target company and receive a magic link immediately. Account research finds the buyers at that company and the warm paths into them through your network.

The link points to a live report page. While the pipeline runs (typically 2 to 5 minutes) it shows a "processing" state and auto-refreshes every 30 seconds. Once complete, the same URL renders the full report. No polling or second request needed.

The magic link is **deterministic**: repeated calls with the same tenant and LinkedIn URL return the same link. Re-running research updates the existing report in place.

## Body

<ParamField body="company_name" type="string" required>
  Name of the target company.
</ParamField>

<ParamField body="company_linkedin_url" type="string" required>
  LinkedIn company page URL. Must contain `/company/`.
</ParamField>

<ParamField body="countries" type="string[]">
  Filter buyers by country (e.g. `["United States", "United Kingdom"]`).
</ParamField>

<ParamField body="completion_email" type="string">
  Email to notify when the report is ready.
</ParamField>
