### Illustrative sample output

This example shows one response. Values and optional fields vary with the data available.

```json
{
  "count": 1,
  "coverage": {
    "limitations": [
      "Synthetic illustration; not a live scrape result."
    ],
    "missing_fields": [],
    "source": "linkedin_company_autocomplete",
    "status": "partial_public",
    "truncated_fields": []
  },
  "matched_count": 1,
  "query": "Example Company",

### Illustrative output fields

Derived from the sample above for orientation only. These fields are not a fixed response schema.

| Path | Observed type | Example |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `count` | `integer` | 1 |
| `coverage` | `object` | 5 fields |
| `coverage.limitations` | `array` | 1 items |
| `coverage.missing_fields` | `array` | 0 items |
| `coverage.source` | `string` | linkedin_company_autocomplete |
| `coverage.status` | `string` | partial_public |

| `truncated` | `boolean` | false |

## Execution behavior

A `200` response completed inline. A `202` response was queued; poll `GET /jobs/{id}` until the job reaches `completed` or `failed`. Use an `Idempotency-Key` when retrying must not create a duplicate logical job.
