Use this endpoint when you already have Lusha contact IDs and want their signal activity - promotions and company changes - in one call. Pass up to 100 ids and the signalTypes you want back; there is no separate “search” step in V3 - one call returns all matched signal data for the IDs you send.

Don’t have Lusha contact IDs yet? Resolve contacts first with Enrich Contacts or Search & Enrich Contacts, then pass the returned id values here.
