# POST /prospecting/company/search - Search companies

> Search Lusha's B2B company database using firmographic filters: industry, size, revenue, location, technologies, intent topics, and buying signals.

Use this endpoint to find companies in Lusha's database that match your target account criteria. Supply firmographic filters such as industry, employee size, revenue range, technologies in use, and more to build a focused account list. The response includes company IDs you then pass to the [Enrich Companies](/v2/api-reference/prospecting/enrich-companies) endpoint to retrieve full firmographic profiles. This is **step 2** of the three-step prospecting flow.

    Please note that **Lusha is a search platform**, meaning the data provided
    is not created or directly managed by us. Instead, it is retrieved from
    publicly available sources and through contributions from trusted business

    ## Authentication

    API keys are required for all API and MCP requests and are tied to your
    Lusha account and plan. To access the Lusha API, you must authenticate your
    requests using your API key. This key is unique to your account and is used
    to identify your usage of the API.

    <strong style="font-size: 1.2em; display: block; margin: 20px 0 10px 0;">How
    to Authenticate:</strong>

     When making an API call, include your API key in the `api_key` header of the
    request.

    > You can generate and retrieve your API key
    [here](https://dashboard.lusha.com/api/manage-api-keys).

    API keys should be stored securely and used only in server-side
    environments.


    ---


    ### Rate Limiting

    Lusha API enforces rate limiting to ensure fair usage and protect against
    excessive load.


    - **General Rate Limit**: You can make up to 25 requests per second to each
    API endpoint

    - **Credit Usage API**: Has a specific rate limit of 5 requests per minute

    > **Note**: Rate limits may vary based on your account type and subscription
    plan. 
     If you're encountering rate limit issues frequently, please consult with your 
     account manager or Lusha support team to discuss your specific needs.


    **Rate Limit Headers**


    To monitor your current rate limit status, check the HTTP response headers
    in your API calls:


    | Header | Description |

    |--------|-------------|

    | `x-rate-limit-daily` | The total number of requests allowed per day under
    your current plan |

    | `x-daily-requests-left` | The number of requests remaining in your daily
    quota |

    | `x-daily-usage` | The number of requests you have made in the current
    daily period |

    | `x-rate-limit-hourly` | The total number of requests allowed per hour
    under your current plan |

    | `x-hourly-requests-left` | The number of requests remaining in your hourly
    quota |

    | `x-hourly-usage` | The number of requests you have made in the current
    hourly period |

    | `x-rate-limit-minute` | The total number of requests allowed per minute
    under your current plan |

    | `x-minute-requests-left` | The number of requests remaining in your
    current minute window |

    | `x-minute-usage` | The number of requests you have made in the current
    minute window |


    **Notes on API Rate Limiting**

    - If you exceed the rate limit, the API will return a 429 (Too Many
    Requests) error.

    - To ensure a smooth experience, respect the rate limits defined by your
    subscription tier.

    - Daily limits vary based on your billing plan — higher tiers have higher
    quotas.

    - You can programmatically track your usage through these response headers:
      - `X-RateLimit-Remaining-Daily`
      - `X-RateLimit-Reset-Daily`
    - It is strongly recommended to implement logic that:
      - Monitors these headers
      - Pauses or retries requests accordingly
      - Helps avoid hitting the limit and ensures reliable operation

    ## Error Codes

    Lusha API uses standard HTTP response codes to indicate the status of your
    request. These codes help you understand whether the request was successful
    or if there was an issue.


    | Status Code | Name | Description |

    |-------------|------|-------------|

    | **200** | OK | Successful request |

    | **400** | Bad Request | Badly formatted request |

    | **412** | Precondition Failed | The request failed due to invalid syntax
    that was provided. Please make sure to send a full name field that contains
    a valid first & last name |

    | **429** | Too Many Requests | You've reached your trial limit, please
    contact support for upgrade |

    | **429** | Too Many Requests | Daily API quota limit exceeded. Limit X
    calls per day |

    | **429** | Too Many Requests | Hourly API rate limit exceeded. Limit: X
    calls per hour. Reset in X seconds |

    | **499** | Client Closed Request | Request failed due to request timeout |

    | **5XX** | Server Error | There's a problem on Lusha's end |



    **Error Response Format**

    ```json

    {
      "error": {
        "code": 400,
        "message": "Invalid request parameters"
      }
    }

    ```


    <strong style="font-size: 1.2em; display: block; margin: 20px 0 10px
    0;">Handling errors</strong>


    - Always ensure your API key is correct and valid

    - Pay attention to the specific error message and code to troubleshoot
    issues efficiently

    - Implement proper error handling and retry logic in your application

    - For 5XX errors, implement exponential backoff before retrying

      <summary><strong>Security & Verification</strong></summary>


      **HTTPS Requirement:**

      - Production webhook URLs **must** use HTTPS

      - HTTP URLs are not accepted


      **Signature Verification:**


      All webhook deliveries include an `X-Lusha-Signature` header containing an
      HMAC-SHA256 signature. Verify this signature to ensure the request is from
      Lusha:


      1. Extract the `X-Lusha-Signature` and `X-Lusha-Timestamp` headers

      2. Concatenate: `timestamp + "." + JSON.stringify(payload)`

      3. Compute HMAC-SHA256 using your webhook secret

      4. Compare the computed signature with the received signature


      **Example (Node.js):**

      ```javascript

      const crypto = require('crypto');


      function verifySignature(payload, signature, timestamp, secret) {
        const signedPayload = `${timestamp}.${JSON.stringify(payload)}`;
        const expectedSignature = crypto
          .createHmac('sha256', secret)
          .update(signedPayload)
          .digest('hex');
        
        return crypto.timingSafeEqual(
          Buffer.from(signature),
          Buffer.from(expectedSignature)
        );
      }

      ```


      > **Security Best Practice:** Always verify webhook signatures to prevent
      spoofed requests.

      <summary><strong>Credits & Billing</strong></summary>


      **Credit Charges:**

      - Credits are charged when signals are detected and delivered to your
      webhook

      - The `creditsCharged` field in the webhook payload indicates how many
      credits were used

      - Credits are deducted from your account balance per signal type


      **No Duplicate Charges:**

      - Each signal is delivered once and charged once

      - Webhook delivery retries do not incur additional charges
