Response
A finished call answers with HTTP 200; the data is in results[0].data, and billing.credits_charged is what it cost. A call still running after the wait answers 202: see jobs and results.
This is results[0].data from a real run:
{ "success": true, "objects": [ { "company_name": "Samsung", "id": 1535, "resource_uri": "/api/v1/employer_misc/employer_profile/anon_employer_limited/1535" }, { "company_name": "Samsung Electro-Mechanics", "id": 7506, "resource_uri": "/api/v1/employer_misc/employer_profile/anon_employer_limited/7506" } ]}
Fields
| Field | Type | What it is | Example |
|---|---|---|---|
objects[].company_name |
string | The company's name. | Samsung |
objects[].id |
integer | Instahyre's ID for the company. | 1535 |
objects[].resource_uri |
string | /api/v1/employer_misc/employer_profile/anon_employer_limited/15… | |
objects |
array | Companies matching what you typed. | 2 records |

If a call fails
A failed call costs nothing. The response carries an error.code you can branch on; Errors and retries lists every code and which ones to retry.
