</ParamField>

<ParamField header="Content-Type" type="string" required>

## Scraper Parameters

Set these parameters in the `params` object:

| **max\_results**                   | integer | unlimited | Maximum companies to collect per task (max: 5000)          |
| **max\_unique\_results\_per\_run** | integer | unlimited | Maximum unique results across all tasks in the run         |

## Squid Settings

Configure general squid settings:

| Setting                     | Type    | Description                                      |
| --------------------------- | ------- | ------------------------------------------------ |
| **name**                    | string  | Display name for your squid configuration        |
| **concurrency**             | integer | Number of parallel scraping threads (default: 1) |
| **export\_unique\_results** | boolean | Export only unique results (deduplicated)        |
| **to\_complete**            | boolean | Run until all tasks complete                     |
| **no\_line\_breaks**        | boolean | Remove line breaks from results                  |

## Pagination

Sales Navigator displays 25 companies per page. With `max_pages` set to 100 (default), you can collect up to 2,500 companies per search URL.

For larger datasets, use multiple search URLs with different filters.

<Tip>
  Set `max_pages` to a lower value if you only need companies from the first few pages of results.
</Tip>

<Note>
  Credits are charged per company collected (1 credit per company).
</Note>
